About

My desktop will occasionally, randomly restart. With the advent of automatic saving, file-caching, and session recovery, it’s… really not that big of a deal, but I don’t want it to become a big deal.

I’ve tried looking at crash logs, but they haven’t exactly been informative - that makes me think it’s a hardware issue. This used to happen before I upgraded my desktop, when the power supply wasn’t strong enough for everything I had it feeding, but it hasn’t been an issue until recently.

Another indicator that it’s a hardware issue is that unplugging the desktop and letting it discharge seems to alleviate the problem - at least until there’s a power outage, at my best guess.

I wonder if there’s too much stuff plugged in?

Investigation continues.

I think it’s more of a problem with the house’s electrical wiring. I should try to isolate my desktop to its own power cord rather than having it plugged into the power strip.

Well, I haven’t had this issue in a while. Dunno why, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for it cropping up again.
