Thread: Ergodic reboots. Seems like overheating trouble.

My desktop arrangement goes on bring up randomly. It’s not that it happens while campaigning any special plan or files but it does any time, even when the system is idle. I feel like there is overheating problem with the CPU or something else that i can’t figure out. Is it the same problem that I am judging or anything else could be there? I don’t know much about pc internals.

It could be the heating problem but it cannot be assured as random automatic rebooting is related with many other problems. Like power supply problems, HDD heating, virus/spywares corrupting the system files, etc.

Are there any viruses in your scheme? If there, just tell me the names of that virus species.

The symptoms that you observed give me a doubt that it is most probably a PSU going wrong problem. I have come throughout such problems with the like symptoms and mostly those would be power supply effects only. Check your PSU unit first.

I did the virus scan with Geek Squad MRI - L.A.S.E.R. and it expressed some viruses and spywares. It was surprising that it didn't show it earlier when it got affected since the occupant shield is on. Is this caused due to these viruses and spywares? Also, many times the system would reboot while scanning itself. I could complete the scanning task after several undertakes.

System shutting down or rebooting while scanning advises that there must be some spyware/viruses that reboots the system when it is forcefully erased. It then appears again after system starts.

This can be. However, i feel that these viruses cannot be the induce of system reboot as i have entirely erased all the viruses through L.A.S.E.R. and now no spyware is shown on my PC. Still the problem remains. Also while bringing up; i cannot shut down my PC in any way. The power plug has to be pulled out. This is something very strange.

I had an exchangeable kind of problem. My pc would either shut down or reboot randomly. I was having 3 HDDs which were very close distanced. Very less measure for air passage. So i put in a fan on the PSU unit for furnishing extra cooling and that ceased that problem. So check out your HDDs.
