  1. Computer restarting without warning


    I am running Windows 10 on a 5 year old tower and have an unusual problem of the computer suddenly closing down and restarting without warning, 2 or 3 time per day. Only common observations are that the fault often but not always occurs about 3 to 5 minutes after it has been woken up after non-use. Also when it restarts to the password screen it shows the original beach scene viewed through a rock early days of Win 10, whereas when it starts correctly and initially for the day the password screen is the normal variety of scenes.

    Have already done the following: Replaced the power supply, replaced the battery and hence reset to the original BIOS, reinstalled Windows 10 and fresh copies of all software. 5 and 12 volt voltages do not drop when the computer closes down and restarts.

    Something in the software or BIOS appears to be telling the computer to restart.

    Suggestions on what to do next would be appreciated.

  3. Shutdown and Restart with no warning.

    Hi Steve,

    User profile corruption is one of the possible reasons why your computer keeps on shutting down. To troubleshoot the issue, we suggest creating a new user account and see if the same issues will occur on a different user profile. To do this, simply follow
    the steps below:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Family & other people >Add
      someone else to this PC
      .
    • Enter a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

    Once done with the steps, let us know how it goes so we can assist you further.

    Automated Restart of Windows 10 PC

    Hello,

    If Windows suddenly restarts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it might be caused by one of several issues. An outdated driver and software conflict are some of the possible reasons. Having said that, we suggest performing
    the following steps:

    Step 1: Disabling the automatic restart option to view error messages.

    Many hardware driver or operating system errors will cause the computer to display a specific error message before stopping the operation or shutting down the computer. However, if the Automatically restart option
    is enabled, an error message might not be displayed despite an error taking place. Disable this option to allow the computer to display the error message.
    Follow these steps to disable the Automatically restart option:


    • In Windows, search for and open View advanced system settings.

    • Click Settings in the Startup and Recovery section.
    • Remove the check mark next to Automatically restart under System Failure, then click OK.
    • Restart the computer.

    Step 2: Checking for failed hardware.

    Hardware problems can cause the computer to restart unexpectedly.

    Let us know if that worked out for you.
