I'm glad took a look at this thread.
Once a month, my system would experience an unmanaged (event 41) reset with a mini-dump. Often, the shareware utility BlueScreenView would show the NVidia driver at the nexus of the problem. I could never be sure that I fixed it, but I'd update the drivers anyway.
And always -- after a normal reboot -- the Primo L2 cache would appear to have been reset.
But now, after reading here, I checked Windows 10 to determine if the fastboot feature was turned on. Let me emphasize that I was sure to have turned it off some many months ago, but it was enabled as I looked at it today. I can't understand how that would happen. But it's disabled now!
We'll . . . see . . . even if it takes a month or so to verify that nothing like this (event 41) occurs again.

Windows 10 likes to turn stuff back on after they push updates out. OneDrive is an example of this - I have to disable it again every time they push a major build.
Keeping a list of things you have enabled/disabled can be a helpful checklist to go through whenever you notice something isn't right.

Primocahe really need to two boot profiles. One for hybrid shutdown and one for full reboot. When one of the mechanic get used more than the other, some of the cache get drop causing boot to be slower. I get somewhere between 60 - 70 of the boot speed if I restart my computer after using hybrid boot after 3-4 times.

Was the L2 cache space full when you see this problem?

Didn't see this reply back, but I found that it was cause by enabling defer write for L1 / L2, diskeeper, and using hybrid shutdown (fast startup). Fixed the problem by disabling L1 write.
Could be related issue with L2 cache getting flushed when using with l1 write; which I just create different post for so it can be investigated.
