You just returned from work and began using your PC. After a brief pause of about five seconds, it restarted twice before turning on smoothly. Someone has an idea about what might be happening? Your system details are: Intel Core i5-8400, GTX 1060 Ti GPU, 3GB RAM, 16GB dual-channel DDR4, HP 843B motherboard, WD WDC HDD with 931GB storage, and a Swordfish SSD.
Can't provide guidance without details. What works on certain sites might not apply elsewhere.
System details: CPU-I5 8400, GPU-GTX 1060TI, 3GB RAM, 16GB dual channel DDR4 RAM, motherboard HP 843B(U3E1), storage includes 931GB WD WDC (SATA) HDD and 232GB ADATA SWORDFISH SSD.
It's definitely unusual for an 8th-gen Intel motherboard. My thought is either a surge from the power outlet (do you have a UPS?) or perhaps the power supply is beginning to show signs of weakness. Either way, stay alert just in case it happens again, but don't worry too much. It could be a one-time issue. Have a great day!
Your CMOS battery seems old, and the BIOS settings might have been reset.
Refers to the mainboard power cell, it's the original one that's been around for five years.
