@Twellings here's what you need to do, start with a hard reset as per HP standards: Click here for details.

 

If Windows suddenly restarts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, or simply turns off at random moments, it might be caused by one of several issues. Windows could be set to restart automatically when certain system errors occur. A BIOS update can also resolve the issue. Use the information in this document to resolve issues with the computer restarting unexpectedly.

If the computer restarts unexpectedly and then does not start to Windows, see one of the following documents for steps to resolve this issue:

(By the end of this article all the issues should be resolved)

 

Also, have you attempted to capture any error message that appears before or after the device restarts?

Did you try updating the BIOS to resolve the issue? (If not, please click here to find and install it)
