Does it shut down or restart? Restarting by itself is not normal.

Is there any error message on restart? Or when it is restarting does it say it is updating? Win 10 has a fair amount of patches now that will go for a day or two after you get a new machine but it typically notifies you before I restarts.

How are you copying? Right click? Ctrl c?

You just bought this did you not? Was it new or refurb?
