PowerSpec G472 - random reboot from BugCheck

My computer worked flawlessly for 5 months. Then, 4 months ago, suddenly does random blue screen incidents and takes 7 minutes to reboot, whether it does it or I initiate the reboot. Done 2 Windows re-installs and several command prompts via chat by Microsoft. I'm still getting the random restarts, though now it reboots in a normal length of time. Event Viewer says the computer "rebooted from a BugCheck". It might be after a day, a couple of days, a week. Usually I am not using the computer when it happens, it's just running with programs open. It's not always the same time of day. Not always the same programs open. I've tried plugging into different power outlets, 12awg extension cords (too far from any outlets to plug in directly). Currently it's plugged into a UPS. UPS is rated for enough watts to cover the computer's power supply. Tried unchecking "automatically restart", and got blue screen instead of restart. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? Did I just get a lemon? BTW, my office computer (a Mac) doesn't have these problems. Thank you for the help!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
