    So, as the title reads, my Envy 17 (3000), restarts without notice... It's done this now I'd say half a dozen times... I watch the temps, and those don't get anywhere close to being an issue (idling around 50C upon restart)... And, when it restarts, it's not a safe "windows is shutting down" one... It just blatantly turns off and back on again.. My only thought for this was my SSD... But the Intel 520 SSD is up to date on firmware... and doesn't have any reason to be working incorrectly... This issue hasn't made me lose data (yet) or anything like that.. But, I'm concerned about something in the actual hardware failing... You can see my specs that I have in this in my sig...

    TL;DR: Envy restarts, SSD the issue? What do?

    Edit: I should add it's done this twice within the last 24 hours... and that's the big thing for me... It's seeming to happen more often.. Is that a problem with the SSD?
