Random System Reboots Without Error Logs?

Modified on Thu, 24 Jul at 2:58 PM

1. Disable Auto-Restart on Failure

Press Win + R → type sysdm.cpl → Enter.


Go to Advanced tab → Click Startup and Recovery > Settings.


Uncheck Automatically restart → Click OK.


2. Check for Overheating


Download and run HWMonitor or CoreTemp.


Check CPU/GPU temperatures under load — anything over 85–90°C could cause shutdowns.


Clean fans, reseat thermal paste, and ensure good airflow.


3. Check Event Viewer Logs


Press Win + X → Select Event Viewer.


Go to Windows Logs > System.


Look for Event ID 41 - Kernel-Power or any critical errors around reboot time.


4. Test RAM


Open Start → Search Windows Memory Diagnostic → Restart and scan.


For deeper tests, use MemTest86 on USB boot.


Inspect the Power Supply


5. Try another known-working PSU (especially if reboots happen under heavy load).


If using surge protectors or extension cords, plug directly into wall outlet.
