Let's not discount the fact that  western CST and most of MST are mostly empty open space. And they are GORGEOUS for being so, don't get me wrong. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, I SO appreciate the need FOR that middle of nowhere to exist.

I am having a major issue.. My system LOVES to restart itself after a few days. I do not monitor the system except for an occasional glance to make sure it is still working. After a restart, I find that FAH refuses to start with the PC so the pc sits there idle waiting for me to open the program. I have out the program into the startup programs folder, I have reinstalled, nothing is working. I don't want to lose points or hurt the team when the pc decides to restart. There is nothing else installed on this system, it is just a folding machine and nothing else.

What OS version?

Windows 10. This issue doesn't occur on my main PC, just the folding pc.

Not sure if this applies to Windows 10, but have you looked into this?
 
Control panel->Power options and on the left side choices, click "Change what the power buttons do". On the new window, scroll down to "Shutdown settings" and you'll see an option "Turn on fast startup (recommended)". Uncheck this option and save changes. The next time you start windows, everything should starts as it is supposed to.

Perfect, I will try this as soon as I get home.

Remember that you will need to set the Folding Client to start with Windows and you will need to setup Auto Logon for that to work.
Or turn off logon altogether. Never did look at this on my 10 Rigs.

Funny that so many (recommended) Settings in Windows 10 are causing so many issues.
Maybe they should have said (Recommended for Mobile Devices) or change it altogether to Default.
 
My last test that I had updates that need a restart I had it set to the max 3 days and the computer restarted and Forced the Folding Client and the BOINC Client to crash as though the Power Plug was pulled.
I had to remove the Folding Client and reinstall it to get it back working, the BOINC Client only lost in work task.
So now I stop all projects on Tuesday Afternoon and run Windows Updates and restart the computer.
I am so glad that I do NOT have to do this on my Windows 7&8 Computers.
My Windows 8 is really Server 2012R2 based aliened with Windows 8.1

I have set the client to run on start up so many times that I am actually considering shutting the system down if it isn't going to function properly.

I also have windows set to login in with no password, as this is a folding only pc and doesn't get access to Chrome or any other Internet except to download fah updates
