1446925 2018-03-02 03:34:00 Hi there, I have a brand new HP laptop that sometimes randomly restarts itself.. :confused:
Anyone know what's likely to cause this... am I best to get it looked at under warranty?

Are you sure its not restarting after doing some sort of update ?

Is there anything you are doing and it causes it to shutdown every time ?


Like a Dell Laptop I have here, the motherboard is faulty, its NOT the OS either, its does the same thing in W10, W7 AND Linux. In fact its worse in Linux. :(

1446927 2018-03-02 03:56:00 Hey WT. Possibly, I think I installed pretty much all of the updates before it started - about a day or 2 later lol. The first time it happened I had only just booted it up & it restarted.

Today it had been going fine since this morning no prob then all of a sudden...

1446928 2018-03-02 05:48:00 HP linked me to an update for the bios....so will see if that fixes it. Thanks! pct (16854)
1446929 2018-03-02 06:27:00 You can check the logs to see if it says anything.

Click Search type in Reli Open the Reliability History result ( there will only be one) look at the logs/Graph see if anything is marked with a X or some other indication at the time it rebooted, look to see if it gives any sort of info about something crashing.
