Random Restarts

I have had my new build from PCS for about a month now and all has been good except for the odd random restart here and there but it seems to be happening more now - 3 times already today. When I am gaming it seems fine, havent had any crashes or anything but the restarts happen when I am doing basic things while working with a few browser tabs open, sublime etc.. Also not seeing any errors or anything just a normal restart

I read about the issue with the graphics driver for the 3080 and have done a fresh reinstall of those without the HD audio but this hasnt helped. My spec from PCS is below, only addition is my GPU which is a Zotac holo 3080.

Have you made sure that everything is up to date, run the update checker till it says no more updates are available, where did you get the OS from as i noticed you didn't purchase it from PCS

Windows is configured by default to auto restart if a 'system failure' ocurrs, so I'd be looking at drivers or even the Windows install itself.

That said, it could equally be hardware. What graphics card did you install?

It's always worth running Memtest on your RAM with these kinds of problems as well.
