Windows 10: Spontaneous Reboot Windows 10

Frequently Experiencing spontaneous reboots where the screen will completely black out for around 3 seconds, then it will boot to the motherboard's screen. I recently replaced my power supply thinking that would solve the issue and it ran smoothly for a good many months but the spontaneous reboots are returning in increasing frequency. When these occur the reliability manager only notes that windows closed improperly and notices no issues before this, no crash dump information is produced.

Windows spontaneously reboots

Windows 10 spontaneously reboots without an error message on screen or in the logs. I've reinstalled all drivers, replaced components, added cooling, removed GPU, removed tablet, removed Wi-FI card, run system, memory, and CPU tests, repaired window, and
re-installed windows. Nothing has solved the issue. It does not appear to occur in Safe Mode, yet it's not clear which windows component or driver left would be causing the issue.

Any suggestions for diagnosis?

 

Spontaneous Reboots (Asus K8N, Athlon 64, Win2k)

My computer reboots spontaneously. I had this nifty idea to re-install windows, and it's rebooting spontaneously during installation of windows 2000.

I haven't made any recent hardware changes, but I got a new video card (Radeon X1050) a couple months ago, and installed a beta version of Vista at that time, a month later it wanted me to pay to upgrade, so I rolled back to my old OS: Windows 2000. It seemed to have been running fine, but Internet Explorer didn't install. I said: "fine" cuz I use FireFox anyway. Last week the computer started spontaneuosly rebooting (especially during gaming), and I had this idea in my head that it was the Windows installation, so I decided to go ahead and re-install the OS. The re-install failed, due to a spontaneous reboot, just a little after halfway through "Installing Devices".

Chip: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (2200 MHz)
Mobo: Asus K8N
Video: Radeon X1050
Memory: Corsair 3x

I can't get much more detailed info from Windows ... it's rebooting right now (and forever). I got the chip & mobo from the BIOS and the video & memory from eyeballing the equipment. Doesn't look like there's much else in there: that mobo has everything built-in. I did remove all of the memory sticks and re-tried rebooting with each one individually (to test for bad memory).

Any tips?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
