    Why is my PC shutting down randomly?


    Hi there,
    My PC is randomly rebooting, why such a discusting behavior?

    I have no idea how to proceed. I have tried: memory configuration tests, chech disk and relocating memory modules.

    Would you please join me in this journey?

    Thanks

    In Event Viewer, you want to look at errors. Specifically you want to find errors that are causing the computer to re-start. If there are lots of errors in Event Viewer, then you may want to use Reliability Monitor to pin down the exact time and date of the shutdowns.

    All system errors I see are:

    The previous system shutdown at 10:13:52 AM on ‎3/‎23/‎2020 was unexpected.

    The RealtekWlanU service failed to start due to the following error:
    The system cannot find the file specified.

    The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

    The previous system shutdown at 3:55:09 AM on ‎3/‎23/‎2020 was unexpected.

    The RealtekWlanU service failed to start due to the following error:
    The system cannot find the file specified.

    and so on.......

    What Event ID is provided? Event ID 2, Event ID 41, whatever ....?

    The Event seems to be blaming RealtekWlanU as culprit. This is a wireless driver, if you are NOT using wireless to connect to internet, or using NOT bluetooth with any device, then you may wish to disable this feature in Device Manager. Otherwise, try re-installing the device driver for the Realtek WLAN device.

    Thanks for that! That could save a lot of time, possibly looking at the wrong error message here, although it might still be related.

    What about this one:

    Can you retrieve the details and error message to this Event, please?

    Hello,
    Lately, once i start the computer, it inmediately shutsdown before it enters OS, and then goes to the "Windows did not Shut Cown Correctly" black window.

    About the details you asked me, I could not find (strangely) exactly the one you wanted but here is the same at a different time:

    The previous system shutdown at 3:55:09 AM on ‎3/‎23/‎2020 was unexpected.

    Unfortunately the message does not say what caused the Error,

    Lets try a different tact, is the Motherboard BIOS Firmware up-to-date? You can check the Firmware version using System Info.
