There could be several things going on that causes this. So I will post what to do and check in the appropriate order.

1. Get a can of air and blow out all the dust inside the PC and be sure to do a good job around the CPU's heatsink too.

2. Pull out the RAM ensure that there is no debris on that or in the slots.

3. If all that fails then it's possible that either your RAM is going bad or PSU ( Power Supply )

4. Not that it will fix the computer rebooting issue but update to DNC 2.9.8.2.


Keep us posted as I love to help and hear what was the problem etc....

It may be cause by something in your computer:

try to upgrade the bios to the newest version.

-Bad memory
-Low quality/to weak powersupply.
-Overclocked system.

It may also be a driver problem:
ASPI drivers
IDE drivers

if you goto:

start>settings>control panel>system

click the 'advanced' tab and then the settings button under "start up and recovery".

Uncheck the automatically restart option and that will stop if from rebooting on crash.
but that will prevent the reboot.

Thanks ReadMeToo this is your area to be honest. :Bow:

But my gut says " power supply"

[Charlie]

Most likely and usually 90% of the time correct. You don't think it's dust?

ive pulled a 2 inch thick layer of dust and lent off a mother board before that was doing the same thing but it was the power supply , under powered but dust did not help!!!

built one that had so much dust and lent it looked like an AC filter , when I removed it started emitting showers an sparks. it was in and endless reboot
