  1. Computer restarting randomly. Unsure what is causing it to restart.


    This has been happening for the last week. I boot the computer and for a while it behaves normally when at random the computer will crash and go black screen and restart. Usually after the restart it is fine for the rest of the day. I have attempted to fix it myself with updating the graphics drivers hoping that was the issue yet sadly it still persists. I don't really understand what is the cause so I'd appreciate some help. Thank you. Included below are two problem signatures from today 11/09/2021 when it happened again.

    Random shut down and restart??

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz
    2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
    Windows xp

    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 restarting randomly. Unsure what is causing it to restart. :confused:*Mad Computer restarting randomly. Unsure what is causing it to restart. :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

    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.
