Thanks Dalchina, and thank you for all your help. I know I have learnt a lot from this whole episode. I will take a look at the link you have given me. My PC is going well now. I'm glad about...

Having stripped down the PC and thoroughly cleaning the computer, I can report that it is running reliably and the only reboot that happened was 10 minutes after I started the PC. It must have...

Well I'm just going to have to make the best of it, with the resources I have.

Hey Farrellart, thanks for dropping in! Your suggestion about dust is a pertinent one. I had a computer guy drop over the other day and he said exactly what you just said, "the dust". He had a...

Thanks Dalchina.

I'm going to have a go at checking out the Power Supply over the weekend. Having read quite a few posts about random restart there is a surprising number of them had PSU issues. ...

I was working on a document in Word, yesterday and it just rebooted. The Reliability Monitor in Control Panel just said Windows didn't shut down properly. It may as well have said nothing.

If I...

Hi Dalchina, I just experienced a random reboot a moment ago. I was typing an Outlook email and it just dropped out and rebooted. I went to the Control Panel - System Reliability and it marked the...

chkdsk /? Is there a space after chkdsk (or it doesn't matter) and do I include the question mark? I just want to make sure I have the syntax correct. :-)

Hi Dalchina, you said that whilst not definitive (think coincidence, loading). I'm not sure what you mean there.

I'll need to run through the tutorials for chkdsk and Powershell, I'm certainly...

I'm frightened to ask how long "long enough" is? I'm not sure that the PSU has been ruled out yet? I was going to get my Multi-Meter out tomorrow and see if I can find something. I haven't created...

I've just run 24 hours on Safe Mode between 3:00pm 9th Feb 2020 and 3:00pm 10th Feb 2020. Subsequently I ran Event Viewer and filtered for Error Codes 1074, 6006 and 6008 for between the times as...

I went into MSConfig and ticked Load System Services and now I have access to the internet again. Just another question, when I leave this going overnight the power settings of the PC will put the...

I'm going to boot to Safe Mode with Networking. Will this allow me to continue with the internet, I suppose it does if it is with Networking. So I will return to this page once I'm in Safe Mode. ...

I'll admit my ignorance, what is a BSOD?

*** It is OK I just looked it up, Blue Screen Of Death.

By the way, I stepped away from the PC and it did it again, a random restart. Just when I was...

Dalchina, thanks for the directions to Verifier, I just need some education on how it works, what options to select etc.

For what it is worth, I'm wondering whether it could be the power supply...

I've completed running the Memtest, both RAM and CPU checked out OK.
I'll continue looking at other tests tomorrow
The test didn't allow for exporting files, only with the Pro version.
Thanks to...

Dalchina, I went to the Softpedia site and clicked the button in question and it took me to another site (possibly still Softpedia), and then another, it put me off, I was assuming I could just click...

When I tried it, there was no response. I'm sure you are right, I'm not trying to play games with this. I'm simply interested in determining whether I can continue using my PC. If I implied the...

Hi Dalchina,

I was hoping I'd hear from you. I've certainly done some of the things you've asked but not all. I was somewhat overwhelmed. I can say that a further Windows 10 update became...

I wonder whether I should run the backup of my C: Drive (It is the system drive). I haven't done any backups since this reboot behaviour started. The PC has run continuously since I did the last...

Thank you Golden. I've just noticed you are in SA, I always like running into other Aussies in cyberspace :-)

Thanks Golden,
I've installed it and it is loading the events, there are a couple of errors which I will list. Can I ask you whether I have done anything Risky where one of my screenshots has my...

Thanks Golden,

I haven't made any recent changes or any changes to RAM since purchased.

I installed a Windows Update a couple of hours ago. The PC has been running continually since then, I am...

Hi,
I think I should clarify what is happening a bit more carefully. The PC can function OK for a while, half an hour or longer, then it reboots and once again, as I'm doing now it will run again...
