    unexplained shutdown

    Am ruining Dell OptiPlex 755 with Win 7 pro 32…explorer 11..McAfee suite…PC Matic..CC cleaner …
    In the last few days my computer has started shutting down and rebooting on its own..then tells it is recovering from an unexplained shutdown. I have not added any programs in a long time..
    Any help will be greatly appreciated..
    Thanks;
    Hefs

    Hi Hilton and welcome to PCHF

    Let’s first get you started on BSOD prework as that what causes the automatic rebooting that you’re experiencing.

    Please follow the BSOD Prework and then wait for new logs to be generated. You can then attach them to your next post here

          No problem We’re here to help

          When you go to the folder that contains those dmp files , come back here and click Upload a File. Then find those files in the window that appears and click upload.
