Two things.
A) 8GB could not be enough (recommended 16)
B) if using windows 10 the registry is set to auto update so it has nothing to do with your miner. Windows does automatic updates at a specific time and you need to change the registry file to not update without permission. That happened to me at first when I was using windows and I couldn't figure it out for like 2 days.
Just google "how to stop windows 10 updates" and you will want to use a tutorial that shows you how to edit your registry.

Ok I've stopped the windows 10 updates, removed all windows programs that are not important and switch off all visual effects. So far 24h of mining with no pause or blocked... If it happens again I guess I have to increase the RAM size...
Is the rig supposed to run without any restart for weeks or is it normal to restart once in a while (how often?)
Windows 10 will restart automatically, randomly, to install security updates if you don't edit the registry.
It shouldn't restart if you have turned off the automatic updates. Every once in a while your mining software may hiccup and you may need to restart the program, but you technically don't need to worry about it turning off due to your OS.
