    Computer blackscreening into restart


    As the title states my computer will randomly black screen then restart. From what I've noticed it only happens when I'm playing a game. When I check event viewer nothing pops up as the culprit aside from a volmgr error, but when I checked a previous time it crashed that error wasn't there. I previously had an issue where my computer would blue screen at random times due to corrupted memory that I've now resolved, but now I'm at a complete loss as there isn't even an error code to go off of. Any help would be much appreciated.

    :)
     

  2. Blackscreen - Auto-Restart

    Thank you for the suggested 'fixes'. I'll try them after I try Google's Chrome browser. I'm told it's more suited to a desktop environment than the Microsoft EDGE browser (more suited to Tablet use). I don't know if it's related to the "BlackScreen Auto-Restart"
    problem, but hopefully it will reduce/eliminate the "Can't Reach This Page" message which I frequently get using EDGE [I tried restarting my modem and router, as well as clearing browsing history, but the problem persists with EDGE.

    Hi Ralph,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Share this information to assist you better.

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Are you able to boot to the desktop?
    If not, I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    Try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking and perform the Clean Boot.

    Press and hold the shift key while clicking on Restart
    at the login Screen (Bottom right corner).

    1. Select Troubleshootand click on
    Advanced Options.

    2. Select Startup Settingsand click on
    Restart.

    3. After restarting, choose Enable Safe modewith networking.

    If the issue does not persists in Safe Mode, then perform a Clean Boot to check if any third party application is causing the issue, as Clean Boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.

    Step 2:

    Put the computer in Clean Boot and check if it helps.

    By setting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

    Note: After Clean Boot troubleshooting step, refer to "How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with Clean Boot" from the article.

    Method 2: You may try to boot from the Windows 10 media and try performing a Startup repair from Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).

    To perform Startup repair on Windows 10 computer follow these steps:

    a) Insert the media such as (USB or DVD) and restart your computer

    b) Press F12 key (typically this is F12, but it can differ between computer manufacturers) and choose the drive that you inserted the installation media into.

    Once the Windows Setup window appears, follow these steps:

    c) Click Next and select Repair your computer.

    d) You will then see a blue screen and an option to choose. Choose the option
    Troubleshoot
    and select Advanced options.

    e) You may choose Startup Repair from Advanced boot option.
