    Windows restarting immediately after shutdown, with critical and error "The previous system...


    For the past while now my computer has been having issues shutting down. When I click "shut down" via the windows power menu, it shuts down like normal. However, my PC doesn't actually shut down but instead reboots immediately. When I shut it down again it shuts down normally. Here is a log of events that happened tonight that resulted in the error:


    ~ 12:30 - I put my PC into sleep via windows power menu.

    ~ 1:17 - I wake it up, log in, and shut down via windows power menu.

    ~ 1:17 - PC reboots, I log in and look at event viewer


    Error messages in Event Viewer:

    • Error, event ID 6008, at 6/22/2020 1:17:20 - "The previous system shutdown at 12:34:43 AM on ‎6/‎22/‎2020 was unexpected."
    • Critical, event ID 41, at 6/22/2020 1:17:11 - "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

    Just a note, the Critical error shows up further up in Event Viewer higher, despite being at an earlier time.


    How can I resolve this issue? I'm worried that it could damage my PC.

    :)

    Shutdown then Immediately Restarts

    Try below command:

    Code:
    If above command wont work try below suggestion.


    1. Click the “K” menu in the bottom left corner.
    2. Click “Logout”.
    3. Knoppix will begin shutting down.
    4. The Knoppix CD will be ejected.
    5. Remove the CD and close the tray.
    6. Press Enter on the keyboard.
    7. Knoppix will attempt to turn off the computer automatically. If it doesn't turn off automatically, it is now safe to turn off the computer yourself using the power button.

    ok i went in Event Viewer and found 4 Critical so i went and looked at Reliability Monitor as well and seen that all 4 Critical line up with when my pc rebooted on me. all the reboots seem to happen about 20 min's after it say's The Previous system shutdown
