  WOT Computer reboots itself after a cold reboot

  Posted by Steve King on April 11, 2016 at 3:38 pm

  This happens most times after a cold reboot. About 3 to 5 minutes after log-in, the computer shuts itself down and reboots. All work is lost. After that reboot, the computer remains stable for days.

  I know this is off topic but I respect the wide knowledge of this group. Also suggestions on other sites that might appropriately address this problem. Many thanks.

  I would check your windows logs for what issued the reboot, or research your X99 MB for similar issues.

  things to check:

  • Verify RAM is error free with Memtest86+ outside of windows.
  • Verify that temps are good for the MB and CPU.
  • Check for hardware errors in the Windows System logs.
  • Verify all Windows Updates have been applied.
  • Verify you are running the latest Firmware for your x99.
