SPONTANEOUS REBOOT OF THE COMPUTER
Spontaneous reboot (reboot) makes even experienced users nervous. It is always unpleasant when a technique hints at a malfunction. It is especially sad if data is lost after a reboot.
Most programs have autosave, but it’s a shame to lose even the last 5-15 minutes of work. What can we say about the interrupted missions of computer games.
Informative article: Replacing RAM on a PC: 7 easy steps + solving possible problems
Why does the computer itself restart?
Reboot is a typical response to a software or hardware failure.
In most cases, a reboot occurs due to an error in the operation of system or application software, less often the reason lies in the hardware. You can eliminate software problems by reinstalling Windows. Also, at the reinstallation stage, problems with iron may surface: in case of serious malfunctions, nothing will come of this venture. Consider typical situations that lead to reboots. nine0003
Overheating
The computer usually overheats the processor or video card. The typical reason is dust. When a “fur coat” of microparticles accumulates on coolers, they interfere with the normal operation of the fans and shorten their service life. In addition, dust interferes with cooling. Spontaneous reboot of a clogged computer is a typical phenomenon. Putting things in order «under the hood», without delving into the nuances, is quite simple. This task can be handled by a user who is not experienced in computer hardware. nine0003
How to fix?
There are two types of system unit cleaning: superficial and thorough.
In any case, the first step is to first disconnect the computer from the mains, and also disconnect the cables of the mouse, keyboard, monitor and other devices from the system unit. Next, unscrew the screws that secure the revision cover of the system unit. We remove static electricity from our hands by touching the battery radiator, and proceed to cleaning.
Dust can be collected with a vacuum cleaner. It is only important to work carefully — without touching the fragile PC components with the nozzle of the household appliance. To clean hard-to-reach places, you can use a paint brush. Express cleaning involves:
- cleaning dust from all internal surfaces of the system unit,
- vacuuming through external connectors and grilles
Such cleaning often helps with overheating, but after the first 5 years of operation, the computer needs a more thorough service, including the replacement of the processor thermal paste. To do this, you need to remove the cooler.
A discrete graphics card needs a similar procedure. For inexperienced users, it is better to contact a service center for a complete cleaning. The situation is similar with laptops. In this case, disassembly / assembly requires certain skills. nine0003

Power problems
Windows can go into reboot due to power problems. Possible reasons:
1. Illiterate upgrade
For example, we decided to install a powerful discrete video card, and the voltage from the old power supply was not enough.
2. External factors
The computer works in the private sector, where electric lamps barely glow. Also, the reason for the lack of voltage may be in connecting the PC to the old electrical wiring. You can eliminate the problem by checking the outlet with a multimeter. nine0003
3. Poor assembly of the PC
The assembler incorrectly supplied power to the components.
Loose wire contacts can also be attributed here.
How to fix?
Here are three recommendations that will help you figure out what to do if the PC reboots itself due to power supply:
- If you are planning to add a powerful video card to your computer, consider before that whether the power supply unit is strong enough to pull it. You may have to buy a new PSU at the same time. nine0030
- External factors are more difficult to overcome. You can solve the problem of poor voltage in the house by installing a powerful stabilizer. Or use a laptop instead of a desktop PC. An uninterruptible power supply will save you from the vagaries of electrical wiring and power surges.
- In case of a clumsy assembly, you should contact the service center.

Problems with RAM
Memory sticks purchased from hand after a long period of operation are faulty RAM.
When upgrading, it is advisable to buy a new RAM with a guarantee. In case of marriage, the system starts to reboot periodically: from 1-2 to 5-10 times a day.
To identify the problem, you can use specialized software, such as Prime95 or MemTest86+. If one bar is enough for the operating system to work, you can experiment with hardware by removing some of the memory and checking how the PC will function without it. The speed of work will drop, but reboots may stop. nine0003
The computer itself can also be rebooted for other reasons related to RAM:
- RAM sticks from different manufacturers are installed in the PC, they differ in volume, have different frequencies;
- The RAM slot is defective or there is dust in the slot.
Memory problems lead not only to reboots: the computer may turn off on its own or not turn on at all.
How to fix?
If the memory is defective, the best solution is to replace the stick with a new one.
When inserting new GB, you should pay attention to the state of the slot. If it is clogged with dust, it must first be pulled out with a vacuum cleaner. nine0003

Malfunction of components purchased from AliExpress, reboot diagnostics The purchase of the necessary PC elements on this site is like a lottery.
To find the reason why the computer itself periodically restarts, the «blue screen of death» will help. If it does not appear before the reboot, the matter is most likely in the OS settings. To fix them, click Control Panel → System → System Protection → Advanced → Boot Options. nine0003
Remove the checkmark from auto-reboot. After that, most likely, the computer will crash with a “blue screen of death” and hang without rebooting. Based on the contents of the BSoD screen, you can search for the cause by typing the error code into Google.

Software problems
Software failures that cause the PC to restart itself can occur for various reasons:
- It is easier to defeat a spontaneous reboot if it occurs at the time of launching a single program. Maybe it was written for another operating system, for example, some obsolete unsupported Windows.
- Another typical situation is a spontaneous reboot due to Windows 10 updates. In the «top ten», starting with version 1703, you can choose the period of activity. By default, it corresponds to a normal working day — from 8 to 17-00. Accordingly, if the system needs to reboot after the update, it will most likely do this after 17-00. nine0030
- Spontaneous reboots are due to viruses and antivirus programs. In the first case, the malware restarts the computer to, for example, make changes to system files or edit the BIOS.
Antivirus reboots the PC to complete the update process. - Driver-related crashes occur when they are installed incorrectly. Sometimes, before installing new drivers, you need to remove the old ones. Sometimes “firewood” downloaded from dubious sources that do not have a digital signature do not take root. nine0030
- Clutter in the system. Spontaneous reboots are caused by failures associated with a mess in the system registry, with autoload, in which there is a lot of superfluous, with a full hard drive.
How to fix?
1. If the culprit of spontaneous reboot is a specific program, stable operation of the OS is achieved by reinstalling or abandoning questionable software. Perhaps there is another version of the software that will make friends with Windows installed on the PC, or a similar program from another developer. nine0003
2. From sudden reboots associated with updating Windows 10, there are many recipes:
a) Disable auto-update and carry it out manually through the Windows Update Center.
b) Completely abandon new things. See here for how to opt out.
c) Configure auto-update so that the reboot does not start if the user is in the system. There is a «Do Not Execute…» setting in Group Policies. You need to turn it on.
d) Set the appropriate period of activity in the Windows Update Center. To do this, click «Change activity period» and select an interval no longer than 12 hours. At the selected time, the system will not give a command to restart due to updates. nine0003
3. Driver problems? Roll back the system to the previous state:
a) If Windows creates restore points, right-click on «Computer», and then: «Properties» → «System Protection» → «Restore». The recovery wizard will start.
b) If the creation of restore points is disabled — right-click on «Start», select: «Settings» → «Update. and safe.» → «Recovery» → «Start».
Option B — very hard. You can lose personal information.
4. Windows needs to be cleaned periodically, for example, using CCleaner.
This program removes temporary files, cleans up the registry. But autoload needs to be cleaned manually, when disabling / deleting obscure lines, focusing on the application developer. The overflow of the hard drive is treated by deleting large files that are no longer needed. Usually these are films, videos, etc. nine0003
5. Are you worried about viruses? Install an adequate antivirus program, preferably one that won’t restart your PC whenever it pleases.
Results of testing of popular antiviruses (assessment according to the 12-Bala system):
| Protection level | PC | Ease of use, including false triggering | 12 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVG | 12 | 11 | 12 |
| Avira | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| Eset | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| Kaspersky | 12 | 12 | 12 |
Thus, hardware frills come down to these two components, RAM, poor assembly, or loose contacts.
