Sasquatch Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Must be a long time since there was a thread like this: I must be one of the last PC users on here, one reason for this being that they are easy to fix. Until now. suddenly without anything major having been done to it , it has taken to restarting constantly about 30 seconds after booting. Doesn't matter if it's in Windows or the BIOS, or if booted in safe mode. No new hardware , CPU running at normal temp. I haven't a clue even after all my years of bodging PCs, any ideas welcome folks. Edited September 27, 2019 by Sasquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Macs are inventions of the Devil and I don't see how it could be the PSU. Thanks Ratdog, I think it should be Windows too but can't see how. Ananda you are right it should be hardware if it's doing it in BIOS. Maybe the SSD Windows is on is failing. Sancho maybe you're right, it's an old-ish 450w don't know what brand. I've got a spare. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hash72 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I'm a big fan of piratebay it gave me nero and windows, windows is now on a rebootable disc, was a few weeks ago my computer was rebooting I just assumed its a virus, I ran the windows disc and it sorted it for me as usual.
