I have an HP DV6 6100. At least once daily (sometimes more), the computer will spontaneously restart -- it will just straight up go blank screen and reboot. I cannot pin it down to any cause in particular.
Using a program called WHOCRASHED, it gave me the following analysis... Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

What is the version of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology you are using?
For your system the latest version is https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23496/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver 12.9; however, it was not intended to work with Windows* 10, so it may or may not work properly.
