Please check your ram memory just run with one stick at a time and see iff issues disappear, if it does replace ram stick not installed.


Also check hdd using manufacturer's tool you can download on another computer is yours is having problems and transfer after burning to cd.

You can download memtest86 to test your ram one stick installed at a time and do five passes. Again download and burn from another computer.

Ram have no problem, tested.
HDD manufacturer's tool I need to use another computer to download and burn into a cd and test it on my PC?

Hello, my computer recently always restart without any errors. Sometimes it restart by itself when entering the BIOS setting, sometime restart directly when it goes to the Windows right after "Windows is Starting", sometime is restart after using the Windows for a few minutes or so on.
I not sure what is the problem, is it the HDD problem or is it the power supply causing the problem?


When I first buy the PC nothing happens, impossible is the power supply problem? Because I have another one PC which is exactly the same with the current one that I use. Or is there any damage to the HD and the power supply and I need to replace it?

Put the HDD from the failing computer into the computer that is working and see if you can copy all of your files to another HDD.

Check that all of the cables to the HDD are firmly connected, should be two, one for power and a data cable, check both ends.
If that doesn't help then replace the data cable with a new or known working one.
Is there another power cable in the case that you can connect to the HDD.

If the failing computer HDD works fine in the other computer, then it can be a cable, connection, or the Power Supply Unit (PSU).
Also run the HDD test while the HDD in the other computer.

I think I know what is the problem that cause restart and turn the HDD to RAW system file is because my my main HDD causes the problem. If the main HDD is fixed, then the next step is to format the RAW to NFST.
Can't we copy the file from DOS?

Both Western Digital and Seagate have a free version of Acronis, you must have one of these HDDs in your system for the program to work.

Acronis True Image WD Edition Software

Seagate DiscWizard works with Maxtor and Seagate disc drives.

Okay guys, all the problem have been solved. Thanks for all the help :)

No problem glad it was resolved for you and the hdd is repaired now?

Yes, all resolve.
But one problem is, maybe my power supply is the main problem too, the HDD fixed and no random restart, but sometimes it restart after a long time. It mean the power supply might be a problem, need to get it check.
