    I haven't seen any blue screens so far, but windows still restarts when booting up sometimes. I tried running the startup repair but it didn't do anything. It created no minidump either. Any way we can troubleshoot this?

    At what point in the bootup does it restart?

    During the "Windows is starting" splash screen. It may restart once or twice... but eventually it manages to launch windows - it can be very random. There's a critical error in the event viewer (kernel 41), but no minidump is created.

    When you manage to boot into Windows can you run chkdsk Disk Check

    I ran a disk check on the C: partition (where windows is installed). There's also another partition but I only store backup files in there. Came out clean (this is a new HDD, the old one died a few weeks ago). Is there a log I have to upload here?

    Open an elevated command prompt and type in or copy and paste sfc /scannow and hit enter.

    It happens very erratically. Some days it's fine, while others it continuously restarts and ends up going to the Windows diagnosis/repair center. I thought this might be a disk error because my old HDD had the same symphtoms before its time came. One of the times it sent me to the same disk check you suggested here "Windows needs to check D:\ for consistency" or something like that. However this is a brand new hdd so I don't understand why disk errors would be present and no it did not return any errors at the time either.

    I'll keep you posted if this happens again. Thanks a lot for the help so far. :)
