  1. Random things deleted and settings reset everytime I restart


    I don't really know how to put my problem into few words so sorry the titel doesnt really make sense but ill try to explain.

    So basically, everything was fine. I went to bed and the next day when I started my computer, there was an update. Fine, i said. Not exactly new. So I waited. And after the update was finished, I noticed all my settings were reset. And all of my stuff was gone. I didn't really care, I didnt really have anything important on my computer except, you know, everything I have ever fucking worked on. All my pictures and my music I have spent hours upon hours producing, gone.

    Oh well, I was pissed for a bit but then I didnt think about it so much anymore. I reinstalled my apps and went on with my day.

    Until I started my computer the next day. There was no update this time, my computer just took way longer to start, as if it was in the process of deleting all my hard fucking work. And surprise surprise, that was exactly the case.

    This time, only some of my apps were gone, such as my browser and NVIDIA fucking control panel, but all my settings were reset again. I installed my browser again and tried to set it as my default but guess-fucking-what? I can't. I literally can not. I HAVE to choose between Edge or Internet fucking Explorer. Sorry for my language but I am so god damn fucking pissed at windows right now.

    And then I tried restarting my computer again. Same shit, settings reset, only certain apps gone, and my browser has been replaced with Microsoft-Fucking-Edge. Also I can't play any online games anymore for some fucking unexplainable reason.

    What the actual shit is wrong with my computer? Is it the update? Do i have some strange fucking virus? Is Microsoft Edge trying to drive me insane?

    Please help. I am so tired of this shit.

  2. random restarts

    Hi,

    If a Windows computer random restarts, the device usually have some damaged system components. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to the device before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps was already performed to your laptop?

    In the meantime, it will be best to make sure that the latest update of Windows is installed on your device. If the same issue happens after installing Windows Update, we suggest running the power troubleshooter. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Open the Control Panel.
    • Using the search bar at the upper-right corner, type troubleshooting.
    • From the search results, click on Troubleshooting and then select System and Security.
    • Click on Power and then follow the prompts to successfully run the tool.

    We are looking forward to your response.

  3. Random Restarts?

    Just an update, I think to have stabalized things i had my FSB Voltage set@1.3v so I lowered it to 1.2v and then set my processor to 1800Mhz FSB instead of 2000Mhz, Im still at 4Ghz though, no random restarts since.

    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.
