Windows 2012R server restarting mysteriously

Hi There,

My Windows 2012R server is restarting on it's own sometimes every 40 minutes and sometimes every few hours.

I checked the Event Viewer and found Event ID 1074, but it seems vague and I'm not sure where to go from here.

Can someone suggest how i can determine what the problem is and fix it?


thanks! Kristin

Possible Faulty PSU or UPS

Thanks for your input. However, this is a server at AWS. It's not on a physical box. Does that rule out the possibility of hardware failure?
Actually, IT does

Oh wait a second this is on Citrix   C:\Program Files\Amazon\XenTools\LiteAgent.exe

Hi Folks,

I figured out that AWS EC2 is set up to restart the server whenever it is using 90% of the CPU for 5 minutes. So now I have to figure out what's hogging the CPU.

thanks, Kristin
Thanks for your help!!
