First time poster, so I appreciate any help that can be offered, as I have an annoying problem - I installed Windows 8 on Jan 28 and finally got my computer back to *just* the way I like it about a week later. Since then, I have had random freezes/reboots (no blue screens of death) every couple of hours. The screen will completely lock up (no input response, videos will freeze, etc.), and then the computer will reboot itself after a seemingly random period of time (or I power cycle it). I can hit num lock or caps lock and toggle the light on the keyboard - nothing else works. It's to the point that I can't use it for anything productive, for fear of losing my work (I'm typing this in Notepad and saving after every sentence).
Again, no BSOD so no error codes there. I've checked the event logger, and all I can find are entries such as, "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly" or "The previous system shutdown at 3:15:18 PM on 2/16/2013 was unexpected."
I've updated all drivers, BIOS, and Windows. I selectively disabled every startup item and service to no avail. The problem does not occur when it safe mode (with networking). Short of reformatting and trying again, help?
