How to debug "Your PC will automatically restart in one minute"

Question

My @Windows 10 10 on SATA SSD worked without error until I disconnected the drive and ran Linux Mint on an M2 SSD then removed Linux SSD and re-connected win 10 SSD. Now at WIN 10 every startup, 5 mins or so I get @Bluescreen "Your PC will automatically restart in one minute" It reboots and all is fine. then it happens intermittently maybe 2 or 3 times a week. Is there an easy fix for this error, if not, How can I find out what is causing this problem. What logs etc show what is happening please.

Thanks in advance for any help you can be.

Answer 1

Look at the Event Viewer.

Navigate to "Windows Logs" → "System". Here look for the error logs.

Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

Here BSOD dump (.dmp) files are created.

Download and install BlueScreenView (free utility by NirSoft) to analyze.

Hello,

Event Viewer: Check the Event Viewer to look for any critical errors that could be causing the system to restart. You can find it by searching for “Event Viewer” in the Start menu. Once open, check under Windows Logs > System for error messages or critical events around the time the restart occurred.

Ensure all Windows updates are installed, as sometimes patches are released to fix known issues. Also, go to the manufacturer’s website to check for firmware updates for your SSD.

Make sure that all your drivers are up to date, especially those for the SSD and chipset. You can update them through the Device Manager or by downloading the latest versions from the manufacturers’ websites.

Run the System File Checker to find and repair corrupted Windows system files. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run sfc /scannow.

Run CHKDSK to check the integrity of your file system on the SSD. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run chkdsk /f.
