Strangely, no. Everything’s been running perfectly since I sent my last post reporting the restarts. I don’t really want to waste this site’s expert’s time anymore, so is there anyway to sort of mark it as ‘Solved until otherwise proven’ ?Originally posted by jmarketAny updates for us @everways?Comment

I’m re-opening this thread per everway’s PM to me.
As briefly as possible:Unfortunately, the problem has returned, in full force. I’m probably going to have to take it in to a shop to get it looked at.
I got a single restart yesterday after installing Unity, after reboot everything turned out fine, so I thought it might just have been a blip.
Jumping to today, I boot up the PC, login and search Unity in the windows searchbar. Nothing comes up. Midway through going into program files, I get a restart. It restarts, and I begin logging in when it restarts again. Restarts continue to occur, without a BSOD, with less and less time after boot. My initial thought was that it was the RAM problem I had a few weeks back, but when I press the reset button to try trigger the ‘Diagnosing your PC’ routine, I get (my first for this issues duration) a BSOD. The BSOD Stop Code reads “Critical Process Died”. I now get this every single time I try boot, which triggers the Automatic Repair routine.
I’ve tried every option on the repair screen. It won’t let me reset the machine, I can’t revert to a previous version of windows, and
Code:
sfc /scannow
has no effect.
The one last attempt I’m going to make is to boot from a USB ISO of windows, after sending this.
A friend said it was a SSD issue, I haven’t tested anything along those lines yet. I did clean the RAM, which fixed my previous ‘can’t boot’ issue.
If you know of this problem and have any idea what I could do, please could you advise me what steps I could take to fix this problem, although I’m fairly certain it’s hardware at this point.

Thank you, I’ve been able to get windows back with a recovery ISO and encountered no problems in 3 hours of use. I think if the problem persists it’s either a hardware issue, which I think is the more likely option, or one of 4 apps since that’s all I have on the disk aside from a small photo album.Originally posted by jmarketI’m re-opening this thread per everway’s PM to me.

There’s a small hardware shop a few minutes drive from my home, so I’ll most likely take it there if removing the programs doesn’t fix anything. As per @phillpower2 's suggestion, I no longer have either Malwarebytes or Avast. I’ve looked at Bitdefender as a possible option, but if you think that Window’s Defender is sufficient, then I’ll leave it be. I believe auto-update is on, and now have an activated version of Windows. The one thing I can’t get rid of is Java, since I need it for a game. I’d like to thank anyone who’s put any thought into this issue, I actually learnt a fair bit about Windows during the time dealing with this. If anything, I’d like to request a few tips I could use to avoid any problems of this sort again, assuming it was some sort of problem from something that I did?
I guess sorry for the possible false alarm,

Back up regular and create back ups of your back ups for your most important data and always create a new restore point before updating or installing any new software.Originally posted by everwaysIf anything, I’d like to request a few tips I could use to avoid any problems of this sort again, assuming it was some sort of problem from something that I did?Comment
