Today I have had a disturbing problem with my computer. I was browsing the web when, spontaneously, the system has rebooted itself. No error messages, just a reboot.
After booting, sddm is started again. When I start a plasma session from sddm the system reboots again before loading the session (I can see the progress bar below the "K" logo, but the reboot happens before it is complete).
I have repeated the process a couple of times, one of them following the journal and the Xorg log from another computer, but I can't see any messages that look related to this problem (as far as I understand).
I have tried using only the ttys and the system remains stable. I have stopped sddm and started X (with startx) and I can use Firefox or Konsole (just two examples) without any problems. The system looks stable.
I think it's a problem related with Plasma Desktop, but it might be also hardware related because in one of the reboots the computer has made a loop of reboots before even loading grub. Hardware is my second guess, however.
How could I find out the reason of these reboots?
Merry Christmas.
