For no known reason at all. What could possibly do this? Debian sometime does these auto reboots?
So I was using Debian normal. checking some stuff out. I leave the PC for a second and out of nowhere it starts restarting. What could possibly trigger this? I did not have anything to do with it or had no automatic updating that I know of about activated.

Re: Computer just rebooted out of nowhere to some green ok's
Debian doesn't randomly reboot. Most likely a hardware issue or power fluctuation/brownout. Check your journal for any error messages.

What kind of processor does your computer have?

Re: Computer just rebooted out of nowhere to some green ok's
The green OK's may indicate that a leprechaun has made a home in your machine, and enjoying it. 
Or it could be hardware failure, or maybe an actual bug got inside and fried itself and shorted something, or an overheating issue due to the record heat in some parts of the globe, or something else...
The green OK's are probably the successful boot messages. Does anything appear after those?
