I have been getting restarts on my machine overnight (I have some scheduled tasks overnight) meaning when I wake up the scheduled tasks have not happened. Windows reports it had an unscheduled restart and checking the event viewer shows it has event 18 from the WHEA-Logger.


Note: the machine is overclocked, but the clocking is a conservative OC using presets on the motherboard (4.6Gz was not stable so it is on 4.4, I have not tried to manually tweak it further because it's not worth the effort), with the RAM OC below the supported XMP profile. A 4 hour run with Prime95 testing the full instruction set (105W) showed no issues, and a CPU temperature not passing 60C with the RAM considerably below that so I am certain there is no cooling issue. In addition this has not been seen when running anything, only overnights which has me suspecting something in the sleep states or power saving modes is not reacting well to either the OC settings or one of the software.

CPU: Intel Haswell i7-4770K 3.5Gz 3.9 boost OC to 4.4 boost
