PC frequently restarts unexpectedly.
you're dealing with a complex issue here. it seems like multiple factors might be contributing to the reboots and instability. you've already checked many potential causes—replaced psu, motherboard, tried different sockets, used avr, removed shorting components, verified cables, ran diagnostics, and confirmed no overheating. since your sister's pc is also affected, it’s possible there’s a shared setting or hardware quirk. consider checking system logs for error messages, ensuring firmware is up to date, and verifying that all peripherals are properly seated. if the problem persists, a deeper diagnostic with a more specialized tool might be necessary.
What type of connection is your PC using? You should consider a surge-protected power strip with a grounding indicator. It seems you might experience uneven power supply, so an uninterruptible power supply could help by storing energy locally and keeping your system running during brief outages.
Did you switch to Windows 10 or perform a fresh installation? Which version were you using—such as 21H2 with the specific build number? Updated on August 15, 2022 by kryllyn.
Yes, you can find similar options in the Windows Update settings, such as checking for updates or managing installed programs.
It indicates you're current, and during system recovery I noticed an option called "automatically restart." You might want to disable that setting.
I tried disabling the setting, but it still restarts. Anyone have any suggestions?
Before my CPU worked fine without thermal paste, I didn’t realize anything was wrong. Since I used this PC a lot for gaming, I wasn’t sure if it was a problem. Could a failing CPU be the reason? I’m trying to confirm this before purchasing a new one.
