Computer restarting under Photoshop CS6.

Question

When running Photoshop CS6, my computer will randomly restart and then on reboot will have difficulties coming back to full life (need to restart a couple more times generally). I have tested my RAM with Memtest (saw that in a forum) without reporting any issues. Running Windows 8.1, up to date. Uninstalled, cleaned and reinstalled CS6. Updated latest nVidia drivers (GTX650), still no luck after either. Really frustrating, any thoughts?

Hi Mylenium, was this what you were specifically after?
Critical Error: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly
