Why does the computer turn off by itself?

Just the other day I was asked to see one problem client computer. The problem is that the computer on the operating system Windows 10 turns off by itself When starting or reboots after a while after switching on, and at the most inappropriate moment - in the working hours of small cafes. And the entire local grid is tied to it for the sale of Fastfud.

As practice shows, a phenomenon when the computer reboots when you turn on or even completely turns off after a few minutes after the start, not uncommon, therefore I decided to disassemble in detail in this article, what could be the reasons for spontaneously turn off the computer during the game or work and what to do if reboots Windows 10, as well as 7 or 8?

So, let's go to the problem in stages and divide our searches into two parts - software and iron. However, now I can make one generalization - the computer is most often turned off or reboots in itself when loading - in games, or when working on complex graphics and processing a large amount of data.

Computer reloads Windows 10 due to software errors

  1. In the event that Windows 10 spontaneously reboots after some time after switching on, first of all, I recommend checking it for viruses, since in most cases related to the work of the programs, they are guilty of it. If antivirus is installed on your PC, then run it and check everything that it can scan - yes, let it long, but effectively. If there is no antivirus, then I recommend using free Dr.Web Cure IT utilities or analogues from Kaspersky Lab - Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and Kaspersky Security SCAN. And even better all these programs in turn. Make it easily - just download these downloads free utilities and run on your computer. They will check it for viruses using the latest databases.

    If the computer does not want to work at all and turns off by itself immediately after switching on, then download the Kaspersky Rescue Disk or Dr.Web Live CD programs. Write them down on CD blanks and configure the computer to the BIOS to start not from the "C:" or "D:" disk, and from the CD-ROM drive. It will also allow you to check the computer without running infected Windows. To get to the BIOS can be repeatedly pressing the "DEL" key at the first seconds of Windows startup.

  2. Another probable reason is the installation of a new driver or a program that is incompatible with the iron of your computer, or which made some system errors in the operation of the operating system. So often large programs that have system requirements higher than the capabilities of your PC, can load the processor to values \u200b\u200bclose to 100% of its performance, as a result of which it overheats and the system responds to it to turn off the computer. In this case, remember which programs you have recently installed and delete them. How to remove the programs from the computer correctly described in detail.

    You can also help the option of downloading Windows in the "Loading of the last successful configuration (with operational parameters)". To start this mode at the very beginning of the computer start, press the "F8" key many times, after which the download option will appear.

    Another way is to restore the system from a previously saved backup (if, of course, you did it), for example, using the Acronis True Image program. Ideally, of course, make a backup system on a removable media or an external hard disk before installing each new program.

    And click the "Running system restore" button

    A list of automatic or manually created backups will be displayed here, which you can roll back.

  3. Finally, another fairly common cause is the reason why the computer itself restarts, this is when you independently installed Windows 7, but did not activate it, or entered not your license key. In this case, protection is triggered from duplicate keys, which does not allow you to work normally. To solve the problem, you need to deactivate Windows and then activate again with another key. In order to do this, there are separate programs, but I will not advertise them, because, as it seems to me, this method is not quite legal - look at the Internet yourself.

Windows 10 on the computer reboots or turns off after a few minutes due to farest problems

If all of the above methods did not work, it means most likely the reason in the gland, that is, filling, computer equipment. Most often, spontaneous reboot occurs due to overheating processor or video card. For example, I can with confidence of 70% say that it is "it's the most" when a regular computer turns off during the game (30% will leave for incompatibility of the power supply with your viduha). To check, download the Everest program or already discussed in one of the previous SPECCY lessons. These utilities are other than that define information about all the equipment from which your computer consists, show the current temperature of each of them.


For normal operation, the temperature of the processor (CPU) should not be above 60 degrees Celsius. If you have higher, then you need to look for the causes of excessive heating. The most common case is dusting. The computer is regularly, at least once a year, it is necessary to go through something - to clean with dust by blowing the vacuum cleaner and lubricate the thermocons of the processor and the cooling radiator.

Also, the cause of overheating can be the failed one of the fans - external and internal. Check out their work and replace if necessary. Other reasons for overheating can be:

  • Not enough steady mounting of the radiator on the processor (for example, one of the latches bounced off)
  • Faulty motherboard
  • Incorrect installations in the BIOS, which can be corrected to reset it in the original state

We have considered all the most common cases, therefore, if the problem remains anyway, it is rare, but the fault happens in the following:


Other possible reasons for rebooting a computer after a while

  • Fault of the video card when it consumes too high and thereby puts the power supply. Checked by installing a working card.
  • Fault
  • power supply
  • - Checked by connecting the working BP.

  • Faulty RAM module. If several RAM modules are installed on your computer or laptop, you can find the faulty simply by removing them alternately and checking the performance without each of them. You can also test the memory of one of the programs - Memtest86, Memcheck, Sandra.
  • Motherboard fault - for example, due to electrolytic power filter capacitors.
    You can also detect this problem alone. Open the cover of the computer and find the cylindrical radiator on the radiator on the processor, which are addressed to you. Tsley they swept the bottom, then they are not suitable for work.
  • BIOS work failure - either change the battery, or reset the settings using a special jumper (see the information system fee)
  • Processor malfunction - diagnosed by installing a working processor
  • Hard disk malfunction - When breakdown, the system can load very long, and the hard disk is made by characteristic flaccup sounds.

So we reviewed all the most common causes, why the computer with Windows OS turns off or reboots while playing or working with documents, and what to do in this case. I hope these tips will help you!
