Unexplained Reboot.

[Gilbertpwns]

Starting today my pc had those random reboots while in windows 7. It started when I was away. When I got home I logged in and 5 minutes later it would reboot. I am now in Vista and do not have the same problem.

Ok I went through windows repair and it said I had a startup problem. Repaired it and Ill test it for a while.

Hi Gilbertpwns,

There are some reasons why it would be automatically rebooting such as hardware failure, software compatibilty issues, malware. Here's a little article on some common reasons. You can uncheck this box to probably stop it from automatically rebooting but the initial problem might still exist. You said there was a startup problem fixed, you may also want to run SFC/scannow and checkdisk as well. Maybe even a scan with an antivirus program.

My Computer Automatically Reboots

Ok I think I have narrowed it down to a driver problem, because the BSOD says IRQL_lessthanoreaualto. I will also use the things you gave me thanks, but it usually happens all of a sudden prob 4 minutes after login so it may be hard for me to fix it that way. Ill keep you posted.

Ok oddly it was my EXT Maxtor Drive. If anyone has a fix let me know.

Yeah, you might want to check in the Device Manager to see if you find any problems there. Also running a system Health Report might give some clues as well. You can post the BSOD, take a picture to let us see what it says.

This will cause random reboot. Disable "automatically reboot" and you will see this on the blue screen. Assuming you have removed WAT.
