PC restarts randomly everyday

[dvv1d]

My computer has been randomly restarting without any notice everyday (average like 2 times a day).

It's been happening ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 recently (2 months ago). My computer used to restart randomly before the upgrade but it rarely happened like every 2 months. 

It doesn't matter what I'm doing, whether I'm watching a YouTube video, playing a game, or literally doing nothing with nothing open, it will randomly restart.

 

I don't know what the problem is. Is this a software problem? or is there something wrong with my power supply?

The upgrade path from Windows 7 to Winblows 10 is not the way to do things.  Your whole OS gets tangled and fuked up and sh*T doesn't work and what not.  You must do a clean format.  Youll have fun it is ok, youll install shit its fun.

To make the board relatively brighter, Windows 10 has a repair feature. It wouldn't delete your files but you'd get a clean OS with all your programs removed, but at least you'll keep your files. Anyway over the years I've learned that you can expect your PC to work properly with any version of Windows installed. If it wasn't for the Adobe products I'd be back to Linux right now.

Wait when you said "you can expect your PC to work properly with any version of Windows installed" you mean that my programs should be compatible with Windows 10 and is not tangled?

I made a typo. I mean't "can't". The point is whatever you do you will always having issues with Windows at some point.

Ohh... you got me excited for a sec.... 

when you said it will keep my files but remove my programs so all the pictures and documents on my computer will be saved but programs like after effects and their plugins will be removed?

Yes, that's what I meant. You will have the choice between removing everything or keeping the files and removing the programs only.

So I reset my computer but kept all my personal files and the random restarts still happen hahahha

Which only confirms how crappy an OS Windows is.

Have you looked at the event viewer? Perhaps that'll shed some light on the issue. As it'll list the time and date of events look for warnings/errors that took place around the time your system restarts.

i checked the event viewer and it says the event ID is 41 and the source is Kernal-Power

[TheDelphiDude]

The error with event code 41 is the one you get upon rebooting/starting the system after it wasn't shut down properly. See if anything odd happened before then.

 

Some more information on event code 41 here. And a tool which may shed some more light on the issue causing the reboot can be found here.

i just looked thru all the scenarios for event code 41 and everything seems to be fine 

i also installed BSOD viewer and it was empty? i dont get a blue screen but my computer just shutdowns completely to black and comes back automatically

 

also my computer restarted just now so i got some fresh event ids hahahaaaa

i found event ID 6008 and after some light googling, some people saying its a power supply issue or a graphics driver issue.

i reset my pc so i didnt even have a graphics driver lol just installed it

Update:

It's been 2 months and I still haven't found a solution to this problem...

I tried...

- resetting windows 10, deleting all my computer programs 

- replaced my power supply with a new one 

- did a memtest for my RAM and got no errors

- stressed tested my CPU and GPU and got normal temperatures (CPU: 74C GPU: 75C). The longest I've been able to stress test is like 30 mins tho because my PC would just restart

 

but recently the closest thing that got to a solution was... turning off this power setting called fast startup. My computer lasted 7 days without restarting on its own... for second I thought I fixed it... but literally 30 mins ago it randomly restarted on its own... 

here is the video of the power setting:

 

Looking through the internet, there seems to be a lot of people with this problem but no solutions... what the fuck is going on hahahaha bruh.... this power setting is the closest thing I got to fixing it. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next?

Same thing here, having issue ID 41 which is "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly." then 5-6 seconds later issue id 6008 "The previous system shutdown at xx:xx:xx AM/PM on ‎xx/‎xx/‎20xx was unexpected."

Are you able to test a totally separate power circuit in your house or someone elses house? If that seems to stop the restarts would you be able to purchase a UPS? You might have an issue with the power in your home.

So my computer stopped restarting but I have no idea what fixed the issue. I changed my power supply, thermal paste, CPU cooler but none of them fixed the issue. But there was an issue with my microphone driver or something that popped up a few weeks ago which led me to restart my computer everyday on my own and ever since then my computer has stop restarting on its own. So I'd say to try restarting on your computer manually everyday and see if that fixes it. If this doesn't fix it, I have no idea what fixed it and just randomly decided to stop restarting on its own after 6 months.

The issue's been fixed but I have no idea what fixed it. My comment above says what I think fixed it but I don't know. I tried different outlets, different houses, and a different power supply so I don't think it was a power issue.
