    Level: Critical Source: Kernel-Power Description: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. (Also, reviewing the logs, "SleepInProgess" is true for all of them, this implies the computer was still asleep when these happened.)

    Maybe the computer is having bad dreams, causing it to crash. :)


    Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

                It's not Windows Update, it's listed as an unexpected power loss (the log event that is added when the plug is pulled, the power button is held down, etc.). Scheduled defrag is plausible. And it is way too consistent in timing to believe it's a human.

                Unexpected power loss? Back in the day we had a very similar issue with a machine which was being used as a print server. Turned out the cleaning lady would unplug it to plug in her vacuum cleaner!

                  Do you have cleaners in your office? They might be unplugging your computer to plug in the vacuum.

                    [Original sin] That's when you purposely spill hot hamburger juice on your keyboard, have to dissasemble it in order to find out that the plastic under the keys has melted the trace borders, and now, after rifling the state of Michigan for another plastic switch you find there's no suitable replacement to get it to work again so you don't even bother to put the whole thing back together.

                        It is quite possible on windows for networks admins to schedule stuff - at an exact time.

                          A scheduled process runs then. It causes the OS to crash.

                            I mean manually (e.g. coming up and holding the power button).
