Windows update frequently shutting down the computer.
Windows update frequently shutting down the computer.
I've shared some concerning updates, your setup continued functioning even after 2-3 minutes without shutting down, but the issue resurfaced. I discovered that Ryzen CPUs tend to power off when overheating, which aligns with the articles I found. My temperatures stayed between 38°C and 40°C, and the case didn't feel excessively hot. Are these readings safe for your CPU? I'm also checking if there are additional steps you can take.
Any CPU shuts down automatically once the temperature limit is hit. Consider updating the BIOS or Ryzen chipset driver. Verify the BIOS settings for temperature thresholds; Windows might misconfigure them. This issue could stem from a Windows update bug. If none of this works, reverting to an older version by uninstalling the update is recommended. In the worst case, a full reinstall of Windows may be necessary.
You could put Windows on an old, unused HDD to try it out before doing a full reinstall.
I’m planning to fully reinstall Windows now since I only have a flash drive with the 1904 version. I don’t have an extra HDD, and I don’t want to risk messing with the BIOS because a wrong update could lock the PC. Appreciate your assistance!
