My computer keeps rebooting randomly for no reason. Anyone know why it would do this?

It used to do this sometimes when I put in a cd or dvd rom but now Its doing it alot.

Bad PSU? Check the voltages. Also you might want to check the temperature of your hardware.

You got it setup to show the stop error?

 

That is rather helpfull sometimes :)

Could be it was overheating. I did leave it on all weekend with the world on 2. (not logged in of course) What is a psu? and how do I check the voltages?

Power Supply Unit. And you check the volage in BIOS.

. Tnx now how do I do that? Command prompt?

 

 

 

And so its shutting down as a defense mechanism for overheating?

 

 

 

Ill try turning it off and leaving it off all night and see if that helps.

Good idea, how many times has this done this anyways? because if you have automatic updates going on, after they finish they will restart your computer in 30 seconds if you dont click "restart later"

I sent the error report to microsoft and this is what they found:

 

Error type : Windows stop error (A message appears on a blue screen with error code information)

 

Solution available? : No (see Next steps)

 

What does this error mean? : Windows has encountered an error from which it cannot recover and needs to restart

 

Cause : Unknown device driver

 

Computer symptoms : A message appears on a blue screen with error code information (for example: e.g. 0x0000001E, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)

 

Additional steps for you to take : Important: Please continue to send error reports so analysts at Microsoft can study and try to correct the problem as quickly as possible

I shut the comp off all night and when I turned it on again, it rebooted within the 1st 5 minutes so its still doing it alot.

Have you recently installed new hardware?

Does it do this in safe mode? (press f8 when your computer is booting up)

Have you recently installed new hardware?

 

 

 

nope. nothing. Thats why this is so weird. Actually I never saw a blue screen. It just reboots with no warning whatsoever. Later today it froze, then the next time it was on it went hours with no problems.

It says its the video driver
