    try using the speedfan sofftware to see what it reads.

    do post logs here if the software gives you one, or a screenshot of what it tells you.

      And reference possible heat problem, might try setting up a desk fan blowing into the case holes and see if that makes a difference. If it does you'll know a bit more.

      Can you post the complete specs. of the computer? While thermal could be the culprit(video card) you can try using the onboard. Since you run safemode without a problem and randomly restart in normal mode, try unchecking Automatic restart to be able to point the error message next time it happens.
