Windows 10: Minecraft causes my pc to power cycle

ive been having an issue with minecraft causing my entire system to crash. after about 5 minutes of playing my fans will kick into high gear and a few seconds later my pc power cycles. I never see a blue screen, and the pc just starts itself like normal after i hit the power button again. I have updated every driver on my pc including, graphics drivers, display drivers, and audio drivers so i dont think its a driver issue.

once i had my pc crash and it was unable to recover, i had to seek assistance from a microsoft live chat and was eventually able to recover my pc. the person who helped me said that minecraft was "accessing files it should not be able to"

the strangest thing about this issue is ive had this pc for about 4 years and i have installed and played minecraft before with no issues. this has only become a problem after ive reinstalled it recently.

if theres anything i can do to fix this issue please let me know i just wanna know what is happening.

:)

 

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

 

I THINK MY PC RESET IS FROZEN?

Hello,

To help you resolve your concern, we suggest that you follow the instructions below:

Power cycle your device. Here are the steps:

• Force shutdown your computer by pressing and holding the power button down for 5 to 10 seconds.
• Remove all the attached cables for 2 minutes then put them back on.

If the same thing happens, we suggest that you perform the reset again.

Let us know how it goes.

 

win 10 starts normally then after minutes begins to cycle the desktop

Completed all steps. Checker tool found no problems. The DNS flush was completed.

Machine still cycles the desktop and doesn't allow any programs to run.

Since it does not cycle in safe mode, that suggests some background program is the problem. What program would cause a repeated resetting of the desktop?

Suggestions?
