My cousins computers has these random reboots, where it just shutsdown and then restarts again some sekunds after. We have checked all the hardware to see if some of it were loose. We think it might have something to do with the power to the computer. Sometimes it does it alot, and sometimes i can go for days without doing in, and he is getting pretty tired of it. So if someone has a cheap second hand solution to it "Zipfero is the biggest fucking golddigger ever" - Mutantius

I would test the memory. Download and run memtest86. May the NFOrce be with you always.

A cheap solution would be to remove your psu from your compter case, remove the cover of the psu, get a vacuum cleaner + a can of high pressure air and clean the lot. I have seen quite some pc's having the same random reboots and when looking at the inside of the psu, you could grow some plants in it. Not to mention a few that cooked off because of to much heat.

might be worth checkin if windows is set to automatically restart instead of BSOD under control panel > system > advanced > startup and recovery do u know the brand/wattage of the psu? some brands like qtec are very misleading, might be worth checking the voltage rails under bios watch out for any 'clunking noises' from the hard-disk and deffo need to run memtest, and also prime95 for the cpu, memtest is part of the ultimate boot cd u can get from majorgeeks.com hope this helps

my brother had the same problem. It is probably a memory problem, and whenever the pc uses that sector of the memory, it reboots. There is a solution though, but cant really remember what it was. Somewhere you had to select 'give message of error blablabla' instead of 'reboot' hope this is some of help
