As title suggests.
Coming home the other day I find my PC started to restart out of nowhere, with no warning before or errors afterwards. I haven't changed anything and haven't had this problem before.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Installed RAM 64.0 GB

Could be any number of things. I would start by checking the windows event log at around the time of restart and see if it wrote anything there. It should also let you know if it's restarting cleanly or just crashing. Or if it's shutting down from overheating maybe. That should hopefully point to a next step.
