For the last couple of days Windows 10 restarts randomly after every couple of minutes. Sometimes it gets into a loop and restarts again before even completing the previous start up.

I have unsuccessfully tried the following to solve this issue:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh Windows 10
  2. Unplugging all the USB devices
  3. Removing the RAM modules, cleaning the slots, and leaving in only one module (plus changing the RAM slot used)
  4. Cleaning the PC with a blower
  5. Removing one of the two hard drives
  6. Running diagnostics (where everything passed)

I don't know what to do now.

Note: Booting in Safe Mode, Windows 10 works fine, with no restarting.

    in what I had already experienced, it might indicate some hardware / driver problems. The fact that on safe mode it's working fine, should that a faulty driver or piece of hardware or special functionality of a hardware doesn't get used in safe mode. It also could mean that your computer power supply is not good enough and can't power all of your equipment. this could happens if you have a high power graphic card, for instance. Not sure enough to make that comment a clear answer, however.

  • The power supply rating (Wattage) and components used would be interesting to know. A friend of mine had a very similar issue, in his case it was a poor power supply.

  • That comes with a 525W power supply and an Intel Xeon 5600 Series CPU. Should be sufficient to me.

I think in the safe mode, windows system just loads a little driver. My instinct tells me that the problem has something with the video driver. Tried to delete the driver.

Also monitor the temperature of CPU and graphics card. Does it exceeds the upper limit.

  • I have installed the latest driver for the video card available on the internet from the manufacturer/vendor site but the problem still exist

  • Based on windows 7 cpu meter gadget Cpu usage is 1 or below 1 while the Ram usage is 9. For the graphics card temperature I don't know where to look

  • not necessarily the latest driver, you need a stable one. Uninstall the driver, let see if it can work smoothly without the driver.

  • Windows 10 automatically update driver if driver is not installed. Before I have updated latest driver from the internet I was using Windows default driver which windows installed on it,s own
