thanks for the help, looks like it was the portable ssd i attached to my macbook pro. i disconnected the ssd and my laptop has not restarted so far. i didn't think it would be that since the ssd says it is mac n windows compatible ... but glad it's nothing major or my laptop. thank you for the link u provided it lead me right to the issue.
