How to troubleshoot your computer restarting problem?

How to troubleshoot your computer restarting problem?

If you are reading this article then you are probably must be facing this problem of your computer rebooting time and again.

Your computer suffers from the restarting problem mainly due to the system overheating. When your processor gets overheated it automatically reboots.  So first and foremost check if your CPU fan is working properly. If that doesn’t resolve your problem next move to where your processor is located on your motherboard. You will find a small heat sink and a fan mounted on top of your processor. Power on your CPU and see if the processor fan is functioning properly. If the fan isn’t functioning properly get it replaced and that will most probably get your problem resolved.


If both your computer fan and your processor fan are working properly but even than your computer restarts than you will have to do a little more work. You will have to remove the fan mounted on top of the processor. Now remove the heat sink.  Normally a thick layer of paste needs to be applied in between the processor and the heat sink. So, when this layer of paste dries up you faces this problem of your processor overheating which ultimately leads to the computer restarting problem. If the layer of paste has dries up all you need is to buy this paste (easily available in any computer hardware store) and apply it before replacing your heat sink and fan.


Connect all the cable and power on your computer. If you follow these simple steps 95 times out of hundred you can solve the problem of frequent reboots of your computer. 

P.S- if the problem still persists than you will need expertise help. Take your PC to your nearest Computer retailer and get it serviced.
