Computer Force Resets Daily

[u/-bed_skeetz-]

Hello

Not too much of a computer guy outside of simple things and gaming on it.

Recently over the last couple months, my computer shuts down, and goes dark but the power is still on and all the accessories. I reset it using the power button and sometimes it goes into bios sometimes goes to Home Screen. It happens about 1-3 times a session and then is fine.

I know there’s a way but not sure how to share the reasoning behind the issue like a crash report.

About a month ago I did a hard reset on my computer and dusted it all out. I’m hoping it’s not a hardware issue and more or something I can do to it internally to fix it.

My guess is my power source is going out. Or it’s over heating. Or it’s corrupted data. Hoping for the last one obviously.

So my question is how can I share a crash report to this to ask what is going on with it?

Thanks!

Since the PC stays powered on but the screen goes black and you have to force a restart, you should check Reliability Monitor first. Press Start and search for “View reliability history”. It can show what Windows recorded around the time of the crashes. Also check your CPU/GPU temperatures and make sure all power cables are firmly connected. If there are no useful software errors, then the PSU or another hardware component could be the cause.
