Thank you very much for providing all those details.
At this pint basically you tied all the troubleshoot steps we recommend for this situation.
Do you have the option to test the NUC with a different power adapter?
Did you test it with just one memory stick, with both sticks?
Even though the memory seems to be working fine, do you have the option to use the NUC with another memory kit?
Which Windows version are you using?
The memory is fully compatible, however the NUC supports up to 2133MHz tops, is that the memory speed you are using? Because on the memory specs it says it supports up to 2800MHz but that is too high for the NUC.
Now, if the NUC is working with 2133MHz, and after trying the steps above the problem remains, then a replacement will be needed.
If you are interested in the replacement, please get in contact directly with us through chat, email, phone or online support, you just need to select processor on product type and you will get those options:

Any questions, please let me know.

2. Re: Skull Canyon (NUC6I7KYK) - Random Reboot.
dkhl01 Nov 3, 2016 11:23 AM (in response to Intel Corporation)Hi,
i'm using Windows 10 Pro and the ram is currently running at 2800 Mhz which I activated through the XMP profile. However, I've also let it run at the default speed of 2400MHz and it still reboots randomly as well. I'm a little confused as to why Intel's would recommend 2800 MHz RAM and even state how to activate that speed and say that it only works with 2133 MHz as you say.
I have not tested the power supply as I only have the one, also I have not tested the RAM in single configuration.

Thank you very much for providing that information.
Yes, the reason why the memory needs to be set as 2133MHZ as maximum speed is because the memory controller is located on the processor, the processor on the NUC is Intel® Core™ i7-6770HQ, and as you can see on the following link, that is the proper memory setting for it:
http://ark.intel.com/products/93341/Intel-Core-i7-6770HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz
So, if you run the memory at 2800MHz or 2400MHz, you are forcing the processor to run at speeds it does not support, and this problem could be related to that.
So, if you could please test the NUC at that speed, just for testing purposes it will be helpful, in order to see if the problem gets fixed, and because of the same reason we recommend to test it with just one memory stick at the time.
Once you do that, if it does the same, then it might be a defective NUC and a replacement will be needed.
Any questions, please let me know.

dkhl01 Nov 9, 2016 2:20 AM (in response to Intel Corporation)Hi,
How do I adjust the speed back to 2133 mhz? The lowest setting I can do "automatically" is 2400 mhz, otherwise I would have to adjust the memory settings which I am not familiar with.

At this point, to test the NUC with just one memory stick with both sticks will be a good thing to try, to isolate a possible problem with the memory RAM itself.
After trying that, if the problem remains, then to change the memory speed to 2133Mhz, you just need to get in the BIOS:
Look for the option: “advanced”
Then look for “performance”
Choose: “memory”
Then you will see some options on the right side, below you will see which values to choose on them:
Memory profile: Manual
Memory Reference Multiplier: 1.33
Memory Multiplier: 16
Voltage: 1.2
By doing that the memory should run at: 2133MHz.
If you have the option to use the NUC with a different SSD, that is also another troubleshoot step that will be very helpful in order to try to find out what might be the reason for this problem.
Any questions, please let me know.

jveazey Nov 22, 2016 10:57 AM (in response to Intel Corporation)My bios settings for ram was already set to those values. The reboots continue to be a problem. I have created a separate thread for my issue, per the request of Intel support. That thread can be found here.
