Causes of the problem

Dear friends, if the computer restarts on its own constantly or at some intervals, then there is already a clear cause for concern. Of course, such non-standard behavior of the device can tell you that there are some problems in the operation of the equipment. There are many reasons for this problem.

Let's take a look at the most popular and frequently encountered options, and then in the next block, with the same numbers, the solution for this particular situation will be described. So let's get started:

1. Malfunction in the supply of electricity or the operation of the power supply;
2. Problems with the hardware of the computer or laptop;
3. Problems in the software part of the device.

How to fix them?

Wire problems

• To get started is to subtract from the possible options for problems with the outlet. To do this, connect your device to a different power source. For example, you can connect your computer to a different outlet.

• And it is also worth checking the power cord you are using. Take another and reconnect the device to the network. The same applies to laptops, only here you have to make sure that the battery is working stably: disconnect it from the device and try to work only from the power supply.
• If the problem is solved, then you know what to do. For example, if after changing the cord the computer no longer restarts, you can throw away the old one and use the new one. The wires or connections inside it may have broken, and it cannot support the full operation of your device. If you could not fix the problem in this way, it means that you have a problem with something else.
• Often people put too weak power supply, which does not pull the required loads. In this case, you will need to replace it with a more powerful one that matches the parameters of the device used. Check your power supply will be able to repair computers and other devices.

Problems with the hardware

• Of course, checking and diagnosing the hardware of a computer or laptop is not recommended to do on their own. Your actions can easily damage the internal components of the device. It is best to take it to the service center for verification. If you believe in yourself, you can try to do it yourself.

Service center

• Check the connections of all elements: nothing should stick out. For example, if a block of RAM dangles (that is, it is not fully inserted), then it is not surprising that the computer restarts by itself during operation or on.
• It is worth paying attention to the cooling system of the device. On a stationary computer most often used fan. If a large amount of dust has accumulated on it, then clean it. When using a laptop, replace the thermal grease.

• Additionally, check the computer for overheating using the well-known AIDA utility. If it shows that the temperature of any elements reaches peak values, then these problems also need to be corrected accordingly.
• Be sure to look at the capacitors on the motherboard: they should not be swollen. If so, replace. In principle, any of the elements can be checked by alternate replacement with a new one. Service centers are good because they have all such components in stock. Since there is no such thing at home most often, it is much more difficult to diagnose the problem.

Software issues

• If a computer restarts while a certain game, program or utility is running, then it is logical that it is the source of the problem. No wonder that you have to remove it and try to install another version of the product. There may be a problem with the compatibility of the software and the operating system of your device.
• Check your device for viruses and malicious codes using a special antivirus program. If they are, be sure to clean them.

Antivirus software

• You can try a clean run of the Windows operating system: turn off all services, except system ones, in the startup settings, and also remove all programs from startup. To do this, press the key combination Win and R on the keyboard. In the window that appears, type msconfig and press Enter. In the "Services" tab, you should disable everything except the system ones, and in "Startup", remove the utilities.
• And it will also be necessary to diagnose the system files. To do this: run the command prompt as an administrator, then enter sfc / scannow in the console and press the Enter button.
• If none of this helps, you can try reinstalling Windows. Please note that this can only help if there are problems within the system itself. If you have a problem with one of the components of the device (for example, a video card or a motherboard is broken), then there is no point in reinstalling.

Conclusion

Dear readers, today we tried to answer the question: “Why does the computer restart itself all the time, when turned on or during work?” And we also tried to solve this problem on our own. If you are in doubt, you can always contact a specialized service center or call the equipment repair technician. All actions you do at your own peril and risk. But we hope that everything worked out for you and you managed to solve the problem with a constant reboot. Tell us in the comments what exactly hindered your correct work on a computer or laptop, and how you coped with it.
