When errors occur, a PC usually crashes and then restarts. This is not usually a cause for concern, but there may be a problem.
Unexpected error: PC crashes and restarts
Most computer users are familiar with this scenario: The PC crashes and restarts. Under Windows 11 and its predecessors, this is often associated with a blue screen and an error message. In most cases, everything is fine again after restarting the computer.
- Check the event log first to understand what problem caused the computer to crash.
- Update all important drivers and the operating system. In addition to security vulnerabilities, errors from previous versions are often corrected, which can cause the PC to crash and restart abruptly.
- Unfortunately, updates can also cause the PC to crash and restart. In this case, you can also reset Windows updates
- Sometimes the only thing that helps is a complete reset by resetting Windows.
Other reasons that the PC crashes
In addition to the software, it may also be the hardware that causes the PC to crash and restart.
- Check how hot your components are on the mainboard or with the help of programs. Overheated hardware can lead to a restart. In this case, you should check whether you can install additional fans in the PC.
- For frequent restarts, you should also consider the power supply unit as a source of error. If this is defective, some components are not supplied with power and the computer crashes.
- If the PC keeps restarting for no apparent reason, it is worth visiting a workshop. With a notebook, however, it is difficult to replace components in the event of some faults.
