PC Reboots

[koshi832]

This pc keep rebooting. It can be on for 3 minutes or 20 and nothing seems to trigger it. There are no system errors in the log. I am checking the RAM now but any other suggestions? I have all the latest drivers etc.

Thank you

Boot to Safe Mode with Networking. Where the issue may not happen but I would like to know if it is here also.

Do this first

Run CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds (get SLIM at bottom no Yahoo toolbar)
Run twice or more on Cleanup temps, then on left click Registry then Scan for issues also repeat till clean.

Run ATF-Cleaner http://majorgeeks.com/ATF_Cleaner_d4949.html Temp and Registry, repeatedly until no more found.

KCleaner ftp://ftp2.kcsoftwares.com/kcsoftwa/files/kcleaner.exe
Fantastic cleaner.

Then only after the aboove..

Do the TechSpot 8 steps: https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/

Skip no steps (do not install another virus scanner if you already have one, ask me before installing a Firewall).

Most importantly update MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware!

Any reboots return to Safe Mode networking.

The RAM is bad as there were several errors on the diag. Do you still want me to do the above?

Not until Ram is replaced!

But it would be a good idea then. The bad ram could cover up Malware and Malware could incur the bad ram therefore causing more than would happen normally.
