I have been experiencing this shutdown daily since November 2016. Its frequency varies but lately it has been at least once per day. I do not ever turn the machine off. I leave it running all day every day. This has been my approach on all my many machines and it has led to longer life, so far.
Going through the event viewer and trying to find something that would have caused the crash has not been successful. I have filtered events at about two hours before the crash and looked for anything that might cause it and can find nothing.
I ran the Dell stress test and there were no anomalies or issues.
On a lark, this morning at about 4:00 AM I logged in to the administrators account and just left the machine running. When I came in later in the day at about 4:00 PM the machine was still how I left it.
This leads me to believe it's not a hardware issue since it runs okay with one user but not with my main account.
Should I establish a new account on the machine and make it my main account? That is going to be a pain but this is taxing my patience. I need this machine for business but I can't rely on it.
Please help.
