Mac will restart on its own. Sometimes properly, other time with half blue screen during apple logo and screen turns off/black. In safe mode also same but it restarts properly. screen will be like blue contrast but then returns to original. Also recently i had switched from hdd to ssd (don't think its because of this) IMac details - 4k 21.5inch 2017 3GHz Intel Core i5 Radeon pro 555 2GB 8GB 2400MHz . Please someone help me figure whats wrong. Did all the resets. System hardware diagnoses shows no faults.

Agree with @ etresoft on all points. Somewhere is the evaluation of macOS the Console functionally has wained to the point of only useful for Apple Software Engineers to understand. Would not spend any time sorting through log or Console except maybe if there was a Crash and only then look in Crash Log in Console to confirm the crash

The only help I can give you is to tell you to never look at those logs. I have seen multiple cases of people literally losing their sanity after seeing those hundreds of error messages go by every second of every day that never, ever end.
