[QUOTE="galchin, post: 1808471, member: 401372"] Thanks everyone for the suggestions so far. - I've completed a clean install of El Capitan with no additional apps. Figured if its a clean install then its either an OS issue OR a hardware fault. This rules out third party apps being the cause, unless Apple installs some as part of the OS - Correct it does only happen in a full boot. Safe Boot / Mode won't cause it to take place. In fact its been running beside me in safe boot for the last 24hrs with out any restart. I've also run disk and hardware tests across it while in safe boot with no issues being found. My conclusion is that in safe mode a hardware or kernal driver isnt being loaded that is causing it to restart. Suspect a hardware driver of some kind, hence asking what I can do to systematically stop certain components from loading during boot. [/QUOTE]
