Default Unexpected overnight restarts

Would be grateful for some expert help on the following please.

I run my PC 24/7, typically starting work around 7-8 am. For the last
two nights it has restarted inexplicably in the early hours. IOW, not
due to a WU.

My first aim is to discover what caused it. In Event Viewer terms I need
to discover which of the daunting number of Warnings and Errors
triggered the restart. Many of them apparently occur regularly so
logically it seems I can rule those out.

For starters here are a selection of screenshots I'm hoping might offer
some clue.

I was away from the PC later this morning (31st August) and found there
had been another restart at about 11:25.

Instead of Event Viewer, this time I downloaded and used Nirsoft's
FullEventLogView. Here's a screenshot showing the entries around that
time. (And, in case it's relevant, details of one of the many Event 504
entries.)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/v5ivxu868k...st-1.jpg?raw=1

Hoping someone can help me isolate and fix the cause of these unwanted
restarts please. Studying Event logs (with whatever tool) quickly leaves
me wondering how my PC can be working apparently perfectly, and despair
at ever finding the needle in the haystack.

This vast number of errors sure looks hardware related.
How do things look in Device Manager? Any yellow shrieks? Notably around
storage devices?

This error is often associated with SD cards; and recent
updates/upgrades to Win10.
If you have any such plugged in all the time, try without them, see what
happens.

I'd run

sfc /scannow

from a command window with Admin rights.

If that finds errors, I would run it up to 3 times consecutively to
clear errors.

I would manually run Windows Update to confirm that you are current.

If that doesn't clear things up, ignore Event Viewer warnings and
concentrate on the errors. Google each error. Solve one at a time.

Thanks, but that was about the first thing I did, with no errors.

That too, updating the two entries I described.

Happy to do that...

Assuming you mean focus exclusively on the Event Viewer 'Errors' then
that's what I need help with. Most of their descriptions mean nothing to
me.

I had a similar problem months ago. Originally I
had installed Windows10 over Windows7 and this
caused an accumulation of problems such as you
describe, especially the random restarts.

I had to start again with the latest Windows10 and
then transfer all programs etc across.

All works faster now without trouble.

I remain unsure whether WU is implicated. For example, I found this in
Event Viewer:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jjjftpiqzr...st-4.jpg?raw=1

Or is that a side issue, and Update History is simply unreliable or
incomplete?

Here also is the latest status of Event Viewer as of this morning 1st
Sep:

On a more positive note, the Reliability History recommended in
tenforums.com in response to my similar enquiry was informative. It
first gave me this summary:

I then examined the three most recent Critical Events. I'll paste almost

OK, apparently there is a control where Windows Update can update "Apps".
But I swear I've seen a 100MB download come in, with no notation whatsoever
in Windows Update history. And it was Apps (because I sniffed in the
SoftwareDistribution using ProcMon while it was happening).

If the language one is looping say, you could turn off the Windows Update
setting for Apps.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/...ic-app-updates

...open the Store.
Select the account menu (next to the search box), then select Settings.
Under App updates, set "Update apps automatically" to No.

But that's purely as a test, to see if you can tame that one.

*******

"Hardware error livekernelevent at 17:05.
- when this happens it also creates a dmp file
in c:\windows/LiveKernelEventReports and all
those files are named sys32.k-"date of the day in numbers"
"

In that example, it isn't directly traceable to a video problem.
It's possible a driver could tip something over, but the
wrong file gets blamed for it.

Nirsoft BlueScreenView might read the .dmp file. A problem
I have with utilities like that, is they insist on looking
in specific folders. It's harder to get a program that
just analyzes a file you feed it directly.

There is "dumpchk.exe", but it's usually a pain to
get a copy of it. (Might be part of debug tools on
some SDK ISO perhaps.)

Windbg would likely work, but who keeps that loaded ?

I remain unsure whether WU is implicated. For example, I found this in
Event Viewer:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jjjftpiqzr...st-4.jpg?raw=1

Or is that a side issue, and Update History is simply unreliable or
incomplete?

Here also is the latest status of Event Viewer as of this morning 1st

OK, apparently there is a control where Windows Update can update "Apps".
But I swear I've seen a 100MB download come in, with no notation whatsoever
in Windows Update history. And it was Apps (because I sniffed in the
SoftwareDistribution using ProcMon while it was happening).

If the language one is looping say, you could turn off the Windows Update
setting for Apps.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/...ic-app-updates

...open the Store.
Select the account menu (next to the search box), then select Settings.
Under App updates, set "Update apps automatically" to No.

But that's purely as a test, to see if you can tame that one.

*******

"Hardware error livekernelevent at 17:05.
- when this happens it also creates a dmp file
in c:\windows/LiveKernelEventReports and all
those files are named sys32.k-"date of the day in numbers"
"

In that example, it isn't directly traceable to a video problem.
It's possible a driver could tip something over, but the
wrong file gets blamed for it.

Nirsoft BlueScreenView might read the .dmp file. A problem
I have with utilities like that, is they insist on looking
in specific folders. It's harder to get a program that
just analyzes a file you feed it directly.

There is "dumpchk.exe", but it's usually a pain to
get a copy of it. (Might be part of debug tools on
some SDK ISO perhaps.)

Windbg would likely work, but who keeps that loaded ?

I used BlueScreenView on the most recent DMP file
C:\windows\LiveKernelReports\USBHUB3\USBHUB3-20180711-0406.dmp
but what is its display of 176 files supposed to tell me?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uvyv6pxghz...MP-1.jpg?raw=1

Also, I see that that date is not one of the recent ones under
discussion, 29th August to 1st Sep.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-d147810eb64d

This looks like a fairly recent SDK.

https://download.microsoft.com/downl...load-installer

winsdksetup.exe

When you run that on Win10, use just the
one tick box, to minimize the size of download.

https://s33.postimg.cc/txvoru6xr/debugging_tools.gif

I didn't download and check, but the dumpchk.exe executable
should end up in the Windows 10 kits folder. You can try
plopping a copy of that, in the BlueScreenView folder if
you want, or, run it separately from the
command line.

According to this, BlueScreenView needs DumpChk in
order to dump the details.


I'm not sure what you mean by 'dump the details'? As mentioned, I read
an irrelevant DMP file, in the absence of anything relevant to my recent
restarts, with the results I showed in my screenshot. What would DumpChk
add to the scenario?


https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-d147810eb64d


That gives
"DumpCHK is included with the Windows Debugging Tools.

Download and Install Debugging Tools for Windows
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx"
which gives
"We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found."

and

"Check this thread for information on using BlueScreenView,
MyEventViewer, and other methods to
troubleshoot BlueScreens - top 3 methods (+1 other).

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/c675b7b8-795f-474d-a1c4-6b77b3fcd990"

that gives
"Invalid URL"

BlueScreenView also has an Option to read using DumpChk.exe though you
need to point it to where
you have DumpChk.exe installed."



This looks like a fairly recent SDK.

https://download.microsoft.com/downl...load-installer

Thanks for patiently staying on the case but I'm not sure this is going
to be a productive line of enquiry because, as I understand it, these
DMP files are created after BSODs? Happily I don't appear to have had
any, at least for a long time.

Did my detailed Event Viewer screenshot off re any clues.

Any thoughts on why, with 'Automatic restart' switched OFF, my last
unwanted restart took place anyway?

So far today (Sunday 2 September 2018, 14:28) I've not had another since
then.
