    Computer randomly restarts, no indication when it's about to happen


    My computer randomly restarts when playing games with no indication that its about to happen. There's no lag, no notifications, no blue screens, it literally just turns off the turns back on. It recently started doing this about a month ago and I am not completely sure what the problem is. At first I thought it was ventilation but there's no signs that point to it being a heat issue. I checked both the event viewer and the reliability monitor. On the event viewer, immediately before and after the restart 3 things show up: Error with an event ID of 6008, then a critical saying "computer was shut down unexpectedly, and then error with the event ID of 1101. I think it may have something to do with security but I'm not 100% sure. Help?

    :)

    random restarts

    Hi Lili,

    Hardware failure or system instability can cause the computer to
    randomly restarts. As our initial troubleshooting step, we suggest you to run the Power troubleshooter on your computer and check if it fixes the issue. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Troubleshoot.
    • Under Find and fix other problems look for
      Power.
    • Then Run the troubleshooter.

    Update us with the outcome and if you need further assistance.

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Computer randomly restarts, no indication when it's about to happen :confused:*Mad Computer randomly restarts, no indication when it's about to happen :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    • When your PC restarts, are you having any error messages?
    • You said you got the computer fixed, do you remember what changes were made to the PC? Is this before changing the power supply or after?
