    PC automatically restarts
    « on: August 31, 2013, 04:00:55 PM »
    OK so my computer randomly automatically reboots itself, sometimes when I'm in the middle of a program and other times when it's doing nothing at all and I just leave it and come back to find it starting itself up. Sometimes it gets into this rebooting loop, and I have to leave it off for the rest of the day, but it's usually fine by the next day. It used to occur very scarcely, like once every few months, and a friend of mine mentioned something about the system being updated and it was nothing to worry about, but it's become quite a habit now, it restarted only three days after it last did it, and I'm getting kind of freaked out...  :-\ Why does it do this and what can I do?

    Download BlueScreenView:
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
    unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe to run the program.
    when scanning is done, go to EDIT - Select All
    Go to FILE - SAVE Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt
    Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all of the content, and paste it into your next reply

      I don't know, it's restarted itself more than that, it's missed lots of times... Sometimes it's a bluescreen crash and others it just reboots.

      I asked you to copy and paste the report into this thread, but okay. There is only one bsod from this year, so it would appear that's not the problem. If it happened more frequently than every third day I'd suggest leaving it in safe mode to see if it still happens. But your problem is intermittent and that makes it very difficult to diagnose.
