Any ideas why WMC keeps restarting?

I made a huge mistake... I got too complacent with my media center PC! Everything has been going great and the whole family has been in love with WMC. Now, out of nowhere, WMC just reboots with no notice. There is nothing in the event viewer, no errors at all! Like I said, this has been running flawlessly,

Win7
16gb RAM
120gb SSD OS drive
NVIDIA GT-640 video card
AMD FX-6300 6 core CPU
ASUS M5-A78L-M/USB3
2 SD HomeRun Primes
Windows Updates are turned off.

I also have a Buffalo LS-QVL NAS that houses all of the shows/movies that we want to keep.. I have three WMC computers and the main computer is the only one with this problem.

I would love to know if there is some way to find out what's causing this without using the Event Viewer. It's not picking up anything wrong.

Any ideas or questions for me?

Thanks,
Eric

Go to control panel select action center, maintenance, reliability history. That should show you the errors and give some details of each.
