Weird problems with R4

This is something that has happened 3 times in the last 6 months. Two of the times, I would try to start my computer in the morning and would get a error message "Your computer was unable to start. Startup repair is checking your system for problems" The desktop looks something like when you go to safe mode only no icons. It shows the progress bar going across for about 10 minutes then asks if you want to do a system restore. Click yes and it starts the restore cycle. When it comes back up in about in 10 to 15 minutes, it is very very slow until I reboot the computer, then it's back to normal. Last night the computer was never turned off, just was away for about an hour. When I tried the computer, it would not respond so tried to shut it down like normal. Would not shut down so after 20 minutes I did a hard shut down. When I tried to restart the computer, I got the same error message as above. I do regular anti virus and malware scans and they never find a thing. The computer has a SSD and is always very fast to respond normally. Getting a little spooky now and don't have a clue what's going on. Calling Alienware support would be an option because I am still under warranty, but would that would be my last choice.

Any advise would be very much appreciated.

Just adding to the above. I ran Alienware Autopsy plus a separate memory test and everything passed   with no errors found.
