I cannot compare the specs with the computer that did the same thing, but when it did happen, I cleaned the dust out of the computer, filters, and fans.

Could it be windows update?

I think the spec have no problem,you should check the software problem,some program make the system reboot didn`t allowed by you,that`s possible.

If it randomly reboots then windows should leave some kind of dump or error message once you reboot right?

Also any recent changes before it started to happen? New gpu or updated any drivers?

well it did this with windows and ubuntu and nope its all the same things since i built the computer

Well, I just took everything out and rewired. I made sure no components were touching the case or any other metal parts (i.e. screws). Once all of that was done I tried booting it up again, and it worked fine. I think the problem lies within the power putton. Whenever I touch the bezel where the power button is, the computer starts, then immediately shuts off. If I directly press the button, it works fine. Any vibrations I make near the case will make it turn on (or shut off). Would i just need to replace the button or redo the wiring or something?

re-do the wiring, it sounds like a short. myabe wire up a new power button.
