What to do if the computer reboots spontaneously. Windows constantly reboots immediately after startup. What to do if the computer restarts itself

While using the computer, the user may begin to increasingly notice that the PC reboots on its own. This usually happens while working in the operating system with some “heavy” programs, but the computer may reboot for no apparent reason at first glance. Next, we will consider the possible reasons for this behavior, as well as ways to resolve these problems.

Possible reasons

This problem can be caused by a huge number of reasons. This includes an incorrectly installed update, malware, high load on the system, failure of a component, and much more. Unfortunately, it is not possible to discuss them all within the framework of one article, so only the most common ones will be considered.

Option 1: Exposure to malware

Due to viruses on the computer, it may begin to behave “inappropriately,” including rebooting frequently and for no reason. A virus can be picked up on the network or when installing programs from an untrusted medium, so experts recommend regularly checking for viruses.

If the operating system works more or less stable for some time, and then reboots, then it makes sense to perform a scan from its main interface without going into “Safe Mode”. Since there are many antiviruses, it is impossible to give universal instructions for any specific one, so let’s consider the process using Windows Defender as an example:

1. 1. First, you need to open Windows Defender. In the "ten" this can be done from a special line located in "Taskbars". Just enter the name of the object you are looking for and run it. However, it is worth remembering that in the latest versions of Windows 10 Defender has been renamed to "Windows Defender Security Center".
   2. In the Defender interface, click on the shield icon. It doesn't matter which one.

1. 1. There click on the inscription "Run new advanced scan now".

1. 1. You will be redirected to a window where you need to select the option to scan the system. It is recommended to choose the option "Full Scan". It takes a lot of time, but is the most effective.

1. Wait for the scan to complete. It can last several hours. It is not recommended to use the computer at this time, so as not to accidentally cause it to reboot.
2. When the scan is completed, you will receive a list of all detected malicious and potentially dangerous programs. It is recommended to delete them or put them in “Quarantine”. To do this, select the detected malicious element and click the “Remove” button.
3. Once uninstallation is complete, it is recommended that you restart your computer.

Provided that in normal mode you are unable to scan for viruses because the computer constantly restarts, you will need to try to do this from "Safe Mode". The login process may look different depending on the version of the operating system you are using. In this case, let's look at how you can run "Safe mode" on Windows 8:

1. 1. Restart your computer. Before the Windows logo appears, try to press the keyboard shortcut Shift+F8 or Alt+F8. You will only have a few seconds, so you need to manage this time.

1. 1. You should see a blue screen asking you to select an action. Click on a tile "Diagnostics".

1. 1. From there, go to the tab "Extra options".
   2. Then click on the item "Boot Options".

1. 1. Once the download is complete, you will see a screen with a numbered list of actions. To go to "Safe mode" you need to press a key F4, F5 or F6. Depending on what variety "Safe Mode" you need. To get started, you can try the basic one "Safe mode", which is called by the key F4.

For example, let’s look at how you can enter “Safe Mode” from Windows 10:

1. 1. Start by booting the operating system normally. Call the line "Run" key combination Win+R. In the line that appears, enter the command: msconfing. To apply, click Enter or "OK".

1. 1. A window will open "System configuration". There you need to open a tab.
   2. Pay attention to the block "Boot Options". Check the box next to "Safe mode" and select its type: with default parameters, that is, it will be launched "Desktop", a minimum set of services and drivers;
   3. "Another Shell". Almost similar to the previous option, but additionally support will be included "Command line";
   4. "Active Directory Restore". Loads all the necessary parameters, services, drivers necessary for successful AD recovery;
   5. "Net". Almost everything is the same as "Minimum", but with support for network drivers and Internet access.

1. Press "Apply". Restart your computer.

Now in "Safe Mode" check your computer for viruses. The steps are similar to the first instructions.

Option 2: The system is not updated

If the system has not received updates for a long time, then there is a chance that it will not work correctly. Also, with updates, developers eliminate various bugs and security holes, which usually improves the stability of the OS.

You need to check your operating system for available updates and update it if any are available. This can be done either from normal operation mode or from "Safe". About how to enter "Safe mode" on the computer as described above. Instructions for checking and installing updates are as follows:

1. 1. Open "Control Panel". This can be done by clicking on the icon "Start" right mouse button. From the context menu, select the option "Control Panel". In Windows 7, just click on start and select the option on the right side of the menu "Control Panel".
   2. Here click on the element "Windows Update". For easier searching, you can put it opposite "View" option "Large Icons". There is also a search bar for "Control Panels", which is located in the upper right corner.

1. 1. Check for available updates using the button of the same name.

1. 1. Wait for the search to end. It may take several minutes.

1. 1. If the system has detected any missing updates, then click on the button "Install updates". Otherwise, it will be written that the system does not require updates.

For other versions of Windows operating systems, system updates occur in a similar manner with minor differences.

Option 3: Changing Startup settings

“Startup” is responsible for automatically starting certain programs along with starting the operating system. Typically, programs are added there by the user himself, or some are added automatically by the operating system itself. However, many viruses can also add themselves to "Startup", which causes Windows to not work correctly.

Remove a suspicious program from "Startup" you can use the following instructions:

1. 1. Run "Conductor", using the corresponding button on "Taskbars".

1. 1. In the opened "Explorer" enter the following value in the address bar: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup Instead "UserName" you need to enter the username that you specified when registering the system (first launch). Click Enter to navigate to the specified address.

1. A list of shortcuts for programs that are loaded with the operating system will appear here. Remove those that seem suspicious to you. If you accidentally delete the wrong shortcut, nothing bad will happen. If necessary, you can add it back.

Option 4: Reinstalling drivers

Problems with the operating system may occur after installing a driver package or other software that conflicts with it. Most often, if the problem is truly related to the drivers, they simply need to be updated. Reinstallation is rarely required. Unplanned reboots and other problems with the system can be caused by drivers for the main components of the computer - video card, processor, etc. Let's look at how you can detect problematic drivers and fix them:

1. 1. Run "Device Manager". There are several ways to launch. For example, to start, open the line "Run" (Win+R) and there write the command: devmgmt.msc and click on Enter or "OK" for its use.

1. 1. Reveal what you need "Tree" to access its components. For example, tab "Video adapters" Displays all graphics cards installed in the computer. It is recommended to pay special attention to elements marked with an exclamation mark icon.

1. 1. Right-click on the element and select an option from the context menu "Update drivers".

1. 1. If you do not have any driver installer loaded by default, you will have to use the option in the next window "Automatic search for updated drivers".

1. 1. The operating system will automatically search for missing drivers. You only need to wait for the process to complete.

1. 1. If any drivers were found during the search, you will be asked what to do with them. In this case, you need to select the option "Install".

You can also update all drivers at once using the DriverPack Solution program. The instructions in this case will look like this:

1. 1. Go to the developer's official website. Click on the button “Install all necessary drivers”.

1. 1. The executable file will be downloaded to your computer. It doesn't require installation, so run it as is. If this is your first time launching, the program will check your computer. This will take no more than a minute.

1. 1. DriverPack initially offers automatic installation. However, it is fraught with the fact that other programs that the user does not really need, for example, browsers, will be installed along with the drivers. These are proven programs and they do not harm the computer, but their installation is not always required. To avoid installing them, open "Expert Mode", which is located at the bottom of the program.

1. 1. On the left side of the window, click on the icon that looks like four tiles. Click on it.
   2. Now you need to uncheck all programs that you do not need to install.

1. 1. When finished, click on the wrench icon located in the upper left side.
   2. Click the button here "Install everything".

1. 1. The program will create just in case "Restore point", and then will begin installing drivers. The whole process will take a few minutes.

1. 1. When everything is finished, the program will notify you about it. Click "Further", and then restart your computer.

Option 5: Remove incompatible programs

Software that is incompatible with your operating system can cause various problems, including unscheduled system reboots. This kind of problem can be resolved by removing the “problematic” program. This is done according to the following instructions:

1. 1. Run "Control Panel". How to do this was described in previous instructions.
   2. Here, find and navigate to the element "Programs and Features".

1. 1. A list with all installed programs will be displayed. Select the one that you think is the cause of all the problems. In this case, it is recommended to pay special attention to software installed shortly before the problem appeared.
   2. At the top, click on the item "Delete".

1. Confirm deletion.

Option 6: System Restore

Provided that the previous methods turned out to be useless, roll back the operating system to the previously created “Restore Point”. This operation will not damage user data, but will simply reset the basic system settings and delete some files to the state on the date of creation of a particular “point”.

It is also worth considering that in all operating systems the rollback process occurs slightly differently, although the structure of the actions is the same in most cases. It is not always the case that a created “Restore Point” ends up on the computer, so below we will consider an option where the installation image of the operating system, previously recorded on a flash drive, is used as such a “point”:

1. 1. Insert the USB flash drive with the image of your operating system and restart the computer.
   2. Before the Windows logo appears, press the keys from F2 before F12 or Delete. The specific key or combination for entering the BIOS must be written in the documentation for the computer and/or motherboard. You need to enter the BIOS in order to set the boot priority. This will allow you to start your computer from a bootable USB flash drive.
   3. In BIOS go to the tab "Advanced" or "Boot". The section you need may have a slightly different name, but these are the keywords you need to focus on. Control is carried out using the arrow keys and Enter.
   4. Next, find the parameter called "1st Boot Device"(or similar). Select it and click Enter.

1. 1. A menu will open where you need to select your flash drive.
   2. Exit the BIOS and save the settings. To do this, click on F10 or select item "Save changes & exit" on the menu.
   3. The computer will start from the bootable USB flash drive. Select the language and keyboard layout that suits you and press "Further".

1. 1. In the next window, click on the item "System Restore". It is located in the lower left corner.

1. 1. A window will open where you will be asked to select further actions. Click on "Troubleshooting".

1. 1. Then click "System Image Restore".

1. A window will appear where you need to confirm your intentions to perform a system restore. Click "Further", and then "Ready". Wait for the procedure to complete.

Option 7: BIOS problems

If the operating system does not start at all, and the computer endlessly reboots, then the problem is most likely either in the hardware or in the BIOS settings. In this case, the BIOS settings will have to be reset to factory settings. This will not affect the operation of the computer in any way, but it will help get rid of the problem if it really arose due to the BIOS.

Instructions:

1. 1. Login to BIOS. To do this, restart your computer and before Windows starts loading, press the keys from F2 before F12 or Delete. The specific key depends on the device manufacturer. Typically it should be specified in the documentation for the device.
   2. The BIOS interface may also differ depending on versions. Most likely, the required item will be in the tab "Exit". If there is none, then look for the inscription "Load Setup Defaults" or with a very similar name.

1. Select this item using the arrow keys and press Enter for his selection.
2. A window will open asking you whether to use the selected command. Press Y to confirm application.
3. Now you need to find and use the item "Save Changes & Exit". Instead, you can simply click on F10. The settings will be saved and the computer will restart.

Option 8: Checking the hard drive

Provided that the above methods did not help, then most likely the problem lies in the hardware component. Computer components could fail for one reason or another. They must be checked for functionality, especially if we are talking about important components.

Most often, the hard drive is the cause of the problem with restarting the computer, so you need to check it first. It is quite possible that there are bad sectors on which system files were written. If this exact situation occurred, then there is still a chance to fix everything by using the standard system tools. However, the option cannot be ruled out when you have to think about purchasing a new media or having the current one repaired.

The hard drive is analyzed using a specialized command from the Command Line interface. The only problem is launching it, since you cannot enter the operating system. Alternatively, you can insert a “broken” hard drive into a work computer and try to run the scan from it. However, not everyone may have an additional computer at hand where they could insert a disc. In this case, you can use the operating system image, with which you can launch the “Command Prompt” without entering the main interface of the operating system. Let's look at how to do this below:

1. 1. Insert the USB flash drive with the image and restart the computer. Open the BIOS, where you will need to change the boot priority so that the computer starts from the inserted flash drive. More details on how to do this were described in the instructions above.
   2. When the installer loads you will need to use the keyboard shortcut Shift+F10 to go to "Command line" from Windows Installer.
   3. Here enter the following command: chkdsk c: /r /f and click on Enter for use.

1. The disk recovery procedure will start. Wait for it to complete. In some cases it can last up to an hour. During the scan, all detected bad sectors will be eliminated. However, not all of them can be successfully restored. In this case, you will have to submit the disk for repair.
2. Remove the flash drive and restart your computer. If the procedure went without problems, then the operating system should boot normally.

Option 9: Checking RAM

If the problem lies in the RAM, then you will not be able to start the operating system, therefore, check the functionality of the RAM strips too. Provided that this is the reason, you will have to change the bar.

Checking the functionality of the bar is only possible if you install it in another computer. When you do this, you will need to run a system tool to check your RAM for errors and fix them. This procedure is performed as follows:

1. 1. Run the line "Run" Win+R. There you will need to enter the command: mdsched and click Enter or button "OK".

1. 1. A window will open where you are asked to select one of the verification options. In this case, you can use the first option - "Reboot and check".

1. 1. After selecting this option, your computer will automatically restart. A special screen will appear where you will need to press a key F1.
   2. Use the arrow keys to select a test option. To start the scan, press the key F10.

1. Wait for the test to complete. After this, a reboot will occur. When the operating system starts, the scan result will open. If any errors are found, you will most likely have to buy a new stick of RAM.

Option 10: Check the video card

Due to problems with the video card, cyclic reboots of the computer may also occur. Most often you can log in, but after a short time it will automatically reboot. Also, during operation, you may observe colored stripes appearing on the screen.
Rebooting can solve the problem "Safe mode", but it can only be used for performance testing, not for permanent operation. The cause of the malfunction may be an unupdated video card driver, which can be very easily fixed. More details about this were written in the instructions above.

If the problem does not lie in the drivers, then the only thing you can do is test your video card to see if it is the source of the problem:

1. 1. Login to "Safe mode".
   2. Launch the window "Run" using the keyboard shortcut Win+R.
   3. Enter the dxdiag command and click Enter or "OK".

1. 1. A window will open "Diagnostic Tools". Here you need to go to the tab "Screen".
   2. At the bottom of the window, pay attention to the signature field "Notes". All detected problems should be written there, including problems with drivers, if any.

Option 11: Perform dust cleaning

Oddly enough, dust accumulated in the inside of the system unit can affect the operation of the computer. It starts to slow down, and corresponding problems appear, for example, a constant system reboot. It’s not for nothing that it is recommended to clean your computer from dust at least once a year.

Here are a few instructions for removing dust from the system unit:

1. 1. Arm yourself with dry specialized wipes, soft rags and brushes. Additionally, you can use a vacuum cleaner, but at very low power.
   2. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and other peripherals. If we are talking about a laptop, then you will need to disconnect the battery.
   3. Disassemble the case to gain access to the main components of the PC. Additionally, you can put it in a horizontal position to make it more convenient for you to work with it.

1. 1. If there is a lot of dust, it is better to use a vacuum cleaner. Use it on low power and be careful not to accidentally suck up any PC components.

1. After removing the main layer of dust, you can proceed directly to cleaning smaller parts. Use rags, napkins and brushes to go over the places where you find dust contamination. They must be completely dry.
2. You may have to additionally dismantle other components of the system unit where contamination has accumulated. For example, radiators and fans. They will need to be cleaned separately.
3. When you're done cleaning, put your computer back together and try to start it. Check if the problem was resolved by rebooting the system.

Option 12: Replace thermal paste

Thermal paste serves to dissipate heat from the processor and video card. It has already been applied, but over time it dries out. Depending on many parameters, this process can last several years, but in rare cases more than 5. When the paste dries completely, the computer may well begin to behave inappropriately, that is, it gets very hot, slows down, constantly reboots, randomly turns off, etc.

Initially, you will need to buy thermal paste. The cheapest options are not recommended for purchase. Not only will they have to be changed again in a few months, but they can also harm the computer and processor/video card.

The process of replacing thermal paste is quite labor-intensive. If you do not have sufficient experience, you risk damaging the device, especially for laptops. In this case, it is better to take it to a service center, where professionals will do the work. In addition, if the computer is still under warranty, then changing thermal paste, cleaning dust and conducting diagnostics will be completely free.

First, let's look at how to apply a new layer of thermal paste to the processor chip:

1. 1. Disconnect the computer from power and disassemble it to gain full access to all the “internals”.
   2. Most likely, the processor will have some kind of cooling system installed. It needs to be dismantled. If you have an AMD processor, then simply turn the lever counterclockwise. If you are using an Intel processor, you will have to unscrew the mounting bolts.

1. 1. Clean the surface from the layer of dried thermal paste. Use a napkin, cotton pad or eraser for this. They can be pre-moistened in alcohol to increase efficiency.
   2. Apply a thin layer of thermal paste. This should be done using a thin, soft brush. Often it can come complete with packaging. A special spatula is also sometimes used.

1. When you are finished applying thermal paste, reinstall the cooler.

Now you can proceed to the process of replacing the thermal paste on the video card. Here everything looks a little more complicated, since the design of different video cards is different, so to get to the chip you will have to do different things. It is difficult to give universal instructions in this case. Let's look at the generalized instructions for replacing the thermal paste of a video card:

1. 1. Disassemble the case to gain access to the video card. Disconnect it first.
   2. Locate the video card and disconnect all wires leading to it. Then unscrew the bolts holding the video card in its cell.

1. 1. Some video cards can be additionally secured in the case using a special lock. Click on it to finally remove the video adapter from the system unit.

1. 1. On the video board, find the mounting points where the radiator and cooler would normally be attached. They stand out strongly against the general background. Usually there are special bolts or rivets located there.

1. 1. Unfasten the heatsink from the video card. You will also need to disconnect the wire that connects the cooler to the main board.

1. 1. You need to remove the dried paste from the chipset using a cotton pad slightly moistened with alcohol.
   2. Apply a thin layer of new thermal paste to the chip.

1. Put everything back together. Try starting your computer and check if the problem persists.

A huge number of factors can provoke an unplanned computer restart. However, there may be more solutions to this problem than these factors. It is quite difficult to immediately determine the reason for this behavior of the computer, which causes difficulties in finding a way to solve the problem. The article provides methods ranging from simple to more complex.

Sometimes it happens that the computer restarts by itself, regardless of the user's actions. What could be the reason? Listed below are the main problems that cause such a defect in the operation of the device.

Software error

Starting from the version of Windows XP, an error such as BSoD has become common in the system configuration. Luckily, it's easy to fix in both XP, Vista, 7 and 8. To fix this issue, follow these steps. On your desktop, right-click on the “My Computer” icon. Select the “Properties” option, then “Advanced system settings”. In the settings, find the “Boot and Recovery” group, uncheck the box located with the “Perform automatic reboot” item. Click Ok.

Hardware error

Any malfunction of a hardware component in a computer can cause it to unexpectedly generate an error or reboot without warning. If you've recently tried to add a new device, remove it to make sure it's not causing the problem. If your computer restarts on its own, make sure you're not encountering any hardware conflicts by checking Device Manager for errors.

Drivers

Newer drivers can also cause this problem, so you may want to try older versions to rule out this problem. Study the information on the official websites of these programs, especially compatibility issues. If you've updated your drivers and removed any hardware that might be causing your computer to restart on its own, but the problem isn't resolved, it's likely because your device's memory is weak. Finally, hardware devices that are not installed properly can also cause random reboots. Make sure all cables and expansion cards are connected correctly. The best way to determine this is to disconnect and reconnect them.

Computer virus

Malicious programs can also cause a computer to reboot on its own without warning. Typically, in such cases, a restart occurs every 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes after the system boots. If you think your computer may be infected with a virus, make sure your antivirus programs are up to date. Update your antivirus using the Internet or download a new antivirus scanner.

Device overheating

Many computers today are designed to shut down and reboot if the processor or other device reaches too high a temperature. If you hear any strange noises, especially when you turn on the device, this may indicate a hardware problem. First, check the fan by opening the back panel of the system unit. It should spin and move smoothly. If no noticeable deviations are visible, but the computer restarts on its own anyway, you need to check the operation of the processor. To do this, it is advisable to contact a specialist, since there is a risk of accidentally damaging the device.

Problems with the operating system

If, after following each of the above recommendations, your computer restarts by itself (Windows 7 especially), it is likely that the problem lies with the operating system. In this case, the only solution is to reinstall the OS.

Hi all! In this article I will try to describe why the computer reboots by itself and the most common reasons for an unexpected computer reboot.

The computer keeps rebooting - what should I do?

1. Software problems

Your computer is installing important security updates

If at any point your computer starts to reboot, pay attention to how it does it. If it reboots like you would if you clicked restart, ending your session, then the computer is likely currently installing some security updates. It should report this before and during the reboot.


Typically, most updates do not require an immediate reboot, but in some cases the opposite happens. The computer schedules a reboot and gives us time to save all important documents.
In this case, you don’t need to do anything, just wait until the updates are installed.
Do not under any circumstances unplug your computer while installing updates! This can lead to damage to the operating system.

A blue screen appears and the computer restarts

If the Blue Screen of Death appears before rebooting, pay attention to the error code at the bottom of the screen. Write it down. Please note that a blue screen may indicate hardware problems.


After this, you can see what this error means. If the information found does not clearly indicate what the problem is, you can try to re-induce the freeze. Start the computer and carefully monitor the progress of its operation, try to perform the same steps after which the computer rebooted. You can also try running a resource-intensive task, such as an antivirus scan.

If the error code has changed, this is a clear sign of damage to the internal components of the computer. In this case, you need to contact a service center specialist for repairs.

Also try to track after running which program the computer reboots. If you can establish a pattern of reboots, do not use the program that caused the failure or remove it from startup.

2. Problems with hardware

If the computer restarts instantly while running(the monitor went off and Windows started loading), this indicates problems with the hardware or software.

Power supply problem

If the screen goes out instantly without displaying any messages, there is most likely a problem with the power supply of the system unit. The first thing to do is check the power cable going to the system unit. It is possible that it is not inserted all the way. If it is inserted all the way into the power supply connector, but it “swings” a lot and sparks, it is best to replace it.

Also, the computer may restart on its own due to unstable voltage in the house. In this case, it is advisable to use . Also always choose good quality power supplies. For example, the company FSP.

Computer overheating

Broken hard drive

You can also try running a check on your hard drive for errors.
To do this, go to the “My Computer” folder. Right-click on the operating system drive (usually Local Drive C:), click Properties.

In the window that opens, go to the “Tools” tab and click “Check Disk”.

Check all the boxes and click “Ok”. The computer will warn you to restart.

Depending on the disk size, the check can last from 15 minutes to several hours. The process may vary slightly on different operating systems.

If after this check the blue screen repeats, then check the hard drive for dead pixels here, and you can try to fix it.

RAM

If after all the manipulations you cannot fix the problem, try checking.

Motherboard, BIOS, device compatibility

And finally, look carefully at the motherboard to see if there are any swollen parts or microcracks;

You can try resetting the BIOS and updating to the latest version;

I also saw cases where there were incompatible parts with the motherboard. To find out, you need to go to the official website of your motherboard and find a list of compatible equipment. If, for example, you find that the RAM is not compatible, for example, write to the technical support of this company and report it. It is quite possible that after some time a new BIOS will appear that will be compatible with this RAM.

Of course, there can be many reasons why the computer restarts on its own. In this article, I described those actions that you can handle yourself. If the problem cannot be solved, you need to seek help from professionals.

Good day to all! Today I would like to look at the question of why the computer reboots itself. The century of high technology is the 21st century. Nowadays we cannot do without technology. There are quite a lot of different types of equipment produced, but the most common is considered to be the computer. Almost all people are increasingly using computers in everyday life.

Computer (PC)– this is quite a convenient and irreplaceable thing, with the help of which it is possible to carry out various functions: work, study, play and much more. Unfortunately, the computer may not always function perfectly, and therefore, sometimes it may have some glitches. In particular, and reboot.

By the way, if your computer has been working for a whole day recently, then, of course, it will start to reboot when it wants. It’s simply impossible to work with such failures, and you won’t last long with them. Imagine how the computer starts to reboot during operation. Therefore, let's try to solve this problem together with you.

Reasons for spontaneous reboot

It’s not for nothing that the computer began to reboot itself, which means there are reasons for this. You will need to make an initial diagnosis, noticing all the factors that influence a PC failure, because there are quite a few reasons for such a failure. When performing diagnostics, you need to pay attention to the following: after what actions the problem arises, under what conditions, functions, at what moment. Having studied the problem, you can safely move on to the reasons:

System overheating. This reason, one might say, is at the forefront in terms of prevalence. Most often this happens during games. First you need to find out what exactly is being rebooted in the system unit. This is done through a special program, which can be found on the global network. As an example, I will give a processor with a normal temperature of 50 degrees. If within a couple of minutes it clearly rises to 80 degrees, then the whole problem is in the processor.

1. Problems with your home network. This problem, like the previous one, is the most popular. It occurs in quite a lot of people often, and lately even more so. This is all due to the fact that today’s apartments are overcrowded with appliances, and they, in turn, are fussy about wiring. Let's imagine this situation: evening came, all the residents of the house came to their home and connected everything they could. So much for the glitches. Of course, such a load affects failures, and this is not surprising. The reboot is accomplished due to clear current jumps. Most of all, such jumps are reflected in the light bulbs, which begin to blink. By the way, such problems are relevant at the present time and nothing can be done about it.
2. Incompatibility of drivers or devices. This problem pops up immediately after installing some new device or driver on your computer. For example, your system unit has three hard drives and a powerful video card. You want to install an even more powerful video card. And now you insert it into the motherboard, load the drivers, but suddenly you begin to notice a systematic reboot that appears spontaneously. If the problem is with the drivers, then I advise you to remove them or roll them back. To do this, in the “Device Manager” you need to select the component and click on “Properties”. In the “Driver” tab, you must select one of the proposed options: “Roll Back” or “Delete”. By the way, the entire procedure is best done in safe mode.
3. Viruses or Trojans. If your computer freezes and reboots, then it’s a matter of viruses. Yes, hackers are now advanced, and they have gone so far as to create viruses that can do similar things. I advise you to install a good antivirus program, update your browser and check your PC for viruses.
4. Other reasons. To be honest, there are quite a lot of reasons for the problem, it’s impossible to list them all. It is possible that the problem is in the hardware itself. In addition, the OS can also affect this problem.

Attention: if the computer suddenly reboots during operation, then this is a problem with the hardware itself. Here you need to urgently contact a specialist.

The computer restarts when turned on

Very often the computer does not turn on due to failures. If your computer restarts when you turn it off and on, then start solving the problem immediately. I analyzed the reasons above, now I propose to move on to ways to solve them:

• Overheat

If you have a PC instead of turning on it reboots due to overheating, then it is urgent to prevent this problem with all possible options. If you have a laptop, then purchase a stand designed for it. So, through the stand the air will circulate. It will also prevent warm, light masses from settling inside the laptop.

I also suggest you read a very useful article on how to reset your password on Windows 10 http://pcprostor.ru/kak-sbrosit-parol-na-windows-10.html

As for a desktop computer, there are other ways to solve the problem. You can try moving it away from the enclosed space. You can also remove the side panel from the system unit. However, in the future you will need to systematically clean the equipment. You can clean your PC yourself, but I recommend taking your laptop to a professional. This way the problem will be solved and at startup your PC will not restart.

• Lack of power

What to do if everything also keeps rebooting? I’ll answer right away, you need to check the power supply. Cheap blocks break very often. You can try taking the hardware to be repaired. If your block has come to an end, then go to the store and choose something inexpensive, but at the same time something of high quality.

• Blue screen appears

If blue screen lights up, then the problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible. First of all, you need to find out what the problem itself is. First you need to turn off automatic PC reboot via F8, maybe that’s what’s wrong. After viewing, restart your PC. It is very easy to identify hardware failures - even after connecting the CD, the computer will continue to display this screen.

You need to see exactly what error you have. This is quite possible to do through a reference book or the Internet. So, you will determine the error code. When the problem is software, there are several ways to resolve it. You need to either find the damage and repair it, or roll back or restore the OS.

If everything is the same for you blue screen pops up, then these could be viruses, failures in the BIOS, and much, much more.

Laptop restarts in windows 7

In addition, you can try another solution if the computer does not turn on and reboots. If you have the opportunity to open access to OS settings, then for Windows 7 there is such a path as:

1. Go to “Start” and find “Control Panel” there;
2. Select "System and Security"
3. Click on “System”;
4. On the left side of the panel, click on “Advanced system settings”;
5. In the “Advanced” tab, find “System Boot” and click on “Options”;
6. Now all that remains is to uncheck the box next to “Perform automatic reboot.”

Such simple tricks will help you eliminate automatic PC reboot.

Computer restarts in windows 10

If, when loading Windows, you have problems rebooting, then you will need to do the following steps:

1. In the “Control Panel”, find “System and Security”;
2. Select "Administration";
3. Select “Task Scheduler”;
4. Now expand the “Task Scheduler Library” and select “Microsoft-Windows” - “UpdateOrchestrator”;
5. Disable "Reboot".

The system will now function normally.

It is worth noting that it can often happen when the computer does not turn off, but reboots. Until now, the true reason for such a spontaneous reboot is unknown even to specialists who know the Ten OS thoroughly.

But there are a lot of experts who are inclined to the same judgment: the behavior of the system is associated with NVIDIA and failures of system components with unofficial versions of Windows OS.

Drivers also play a big role. The PC may reboot when loading Windows, when making a Skype call, when playing music in the browser, when watching a video, when shutting down, etc. The problem can be solved by updating the drivers. This can be done in the “Device Manager”, or through specialized programs, in particular Driver Booster.

Why does the computer restart by itself while playing?

If the system automatically starts restarting during the game, then most likely the problem is the game itself. Non-compliance with the system can be caused by an “easy” game. The problem does not occur when the PC starts, but after a while of starting the game. Often the RAM is reloaded by a “heavy” game, so to speak. In addition, it affects the functionality of the fan. Yes, the PC simply cannot cope with the “weight”, and therefore, when starting the game, it reboots every 5 or 10 minutes.

Tip: In such cases, it is best to delete the application immediately.

So, now we can summarize briefly, in this article I looked at why the computer reboots itself. If your computer gives an error, a blue screen, then something is wrong here. First, identify the cause, and only then begin to solve the problem itself. I hope that you can solve everything with ease. But, if the problem is not resolved, try reinstalling the OS, otherwise contact the wizard. Thank you all for your attention, all the best and don’t forget to ask questions in the comments!

When using a PC, problems often occur. But one of the most annoying problems is that the computer restarts when turned on.

What causes the problem?

It is not always possible to immediately determine why the device reboots when turned on. Everything happens as follows: the operating system boots in normal mode, programs open normally, everything works. And then, click – and the PC starts to reboot. It is possible that when turned on, at the stage when the operating system logo appears, the computer reboots again and so on indefinitely.
Let's look at the main reasons why a PC reboots when turned on.

Equipment conflict

Failures in hardware functionality most often entail regular rebooting of the computer when turned on in cases where new hardware has recently been installed.
The fact is that the north bridge cannot ensure full interaction of hardware elements with equipment that is damaged or does not meet the requirements of the motherboard when the computer is turned on; it reboots.
A serious conflict arises at the hardware level, the operating system reacts to this immediately and the PC spontaneously reboots, trying to solve the error in the simplest way.

Eating disorder

The root of the problem is often the power supply, causing the computer to constantly reboot when turned on. The power supply becomes inoperable due to several specific faults:

• Damage to capacitors. Contacts are broken or they simply dry out, especially in budget components of poor build quality.
• The cooling system may malfunction or be seriously clogged with dust and microparticles of various debris.
• Broken contacts between the power supply and motherboard. Again, unless the system PCB is of high quality. Or the power supply does not meet the system's power needs.

Contact failure

Often, when you turn on the computer, the operating system reboots endlessly due to broken contacts of some equipment. Power outages, voltage fluctuations, and cyclical connection and disconnection of equipment are not perceived correctly by the OS. She reacts instantly to a failure. It is possible that the power button has shorted.

Overheat

This, as statistics demonstrate, is a key factor in this type of malfunction. Faults can be classified into the following types:

• Exhaustion of cooling system fans or their factory defects.
• A simple clogging of the cooling system if the components have not been thoroughly cleaned for a long time.
• Perhaps the device is in a warm place - this is not the best option, because there are no conditions for proper ventilation. This occurs if the computer is exposed to sunlight, near a heat source, or in an isolated area.
• Thermal paste has dried out. This is a viscous substance that is applied between the radiator and the processor to increase heat transfer properties and quickly and efficiently cool the central microprocessor.

Malicious software

There is a possibility that the system may be damaged by malware that disrupts the functionality of components or causes failures in the operating system.

Ways to eliminate spontaneous computer restarts

Malware

You need to update the currently installed antivirus program and conduct a full scan of all logical drives.
In the case when it doesn’t even come to the desktop, you need to log in through safe mode. To get there in Windows 10, follow these steps:

In Windows 7, to load safe mode, the F8 button works, which must be pressed immediately when you turn on the PC.

Bios problems

If voltage surges or malicious software have damaged the basic I/O system, the BIOS needs to be replaced. In cases where there is no physical damage, it can be flashed using a programmer at a service center.

power unit

You need to take a flashlight and look through the protective grille at the level of contamination and whether the cooling fan is rotating.


You can also observe the capacitors - if they are swollen, then it’s time for the power supply to go to the dump. Relevant for desktop PCs. You need to try connecting a different charger on your laptop.
A sound alert will help identify power failures, which is displayed when turned on and signals a failure:

• A cyclic signal with alternately intertwined single low- and high-pitched alerts is evidence of problems with the central microprocessor.
• Cyclic long sounds are incorrect RAM functionality.
• Short repeating signals are a power supply problem.
  In this case, after the power-on signal and the appearance of the operating system logo, the computer spontaneously reboots.

Overheat

To eliminate the increased temperature conditions of the functionality of the component parts, due to which the computer constantly reboots when turned on, you need to immediately clean the cooling system from clogging. To do this, you should dismantle the lid, take a brush and clean everything as thoroughly as possible. If possible, you need to get an antistatic vacuum cleaner and vacuum. It is better not to use a regular household vacuum cleaner as it can damage the microcircuits.
If the fans rotate safely, and your desktop computer or laptop constantly reboots when turned on, you need to change the thermal paste. It is placed on the radiator grille and the processor. It must be applied in a very thin layer.

Equipment conflict

If the wrong drivers are installed, you need to install the original correct ones, downloaded from the official website or downloaded from the disk that came with the kit. You can use the Driver Booster program.

It automatically checks all drivers, looks for outdated ones and updates.




If new equipment was installed, and then when you turn on the computer, it systematically reboots - you need to remove it and try to start the system without it.
