It might be coincidence but lately I have been getting device driver errors which lead to a restart. I can't remember for sure but I think they started after the last updates from you know who. This has now become a daily occurence. Any ideas on where I start?

How about uninstalling the last update you made, checking through msconfig and also checking the device driver hardware list. -
Did you have any new hardware, firmware, driver update, or windows updates recently? Please check device manager for any indication

I just checked Device Manager & scanned for hardware changes & it looks like nothing came up. I am positive this started after the las Windows updates but I am not sure. The last drivers to be installed were by me & they were DHZeroPoints 9291 display to replace the NVidia display driver but that was a while ago, way before this started.

If you suspect that the last update has caused the problem, pleasecheck if you can uninstall it or do a system restore and hope that will do the fix for you. Personally, for windows updates, I normally go for security (critical) updates and skip the recommended ones unless I do have the problems with them (it ain't broke why fix it). Somehow I don't always and completely trust MS though. Good luck soup

Thanks for the input, I will find the problem somehow. I don't quite want to do a system restore yet.

Conclusion: Well I uninstalled the DHZeropoints 9291's display drivers that I had been using with no problem at all before the last windows update & reinstalled the NVIDIA 8421's that were in before, seems to be problem solved. The symptoms were PC shutdown & restart, no warning & your screen would stay active even if you shut it off.
