    I know the commands to do this in Windows 7, but apparently it doesn't work in Windows 10?

    Is there anything I can do besides restating the system?

    This is not the first time this happened.

    PC Randomly Restarting after installing new Ram!

    Tried your suggestions, but still had a restart! Also ran memtest overnight (13 hours according to memtest) and had no errors! Also ran Passmark Burn in test for a couple hours testing everything and had no errors or restart. Could fitting the new ram have triggered something to go bad like my mobo or psu?
