I switched to Windows 11 about a year ago. A few months ago my PC started randomly crashing and rebooting, without any blue screens.

Am I the only one? Does someone know anything about this?

Pretty sure I can rule out power surges or overheating or stuff like that. There’s been no indication. The system log is empty as well, apart from Windows being annoyed that it just got restarted without any notice.

    Couple of guesses I have:

    • potential graphics driver issues
      • s: could try reinstalling/updating graphics drivers
    • Microsoft
      • s1: full system refresh via Windows reinstall (after backing up all user files)
      • s2: for beginners; Linux Mint

    hard to say what else without any additional info (or having your device in front of me to figure out what’s happening)

    • for example, did you happen to install anything or was there a recent Windows update?

    Obligatory: You should ditch windows and install Linux instead

    Now, with that out of the way:
    Sounds like a hardware problem. Is this a stationary or a laptop? How have you ruled out overheating? Keep in mind that there are more things than the CPU that can overheat.
