I just bought my new computer on 5th of April, and loaded with Windows 7 and started facing this problem of Automatic restart.
As I was searching online, I did come up someone explaining to disable automatic restart by right click on my computer and blah blah and finally untick the AUTOMATIC RESTART. And I am afraid that is not helping with me. I am still facing the restart problem. This mostly happening when I am playing games at high settings. Like as I was playing DOTA 2 on Steam with everything maxed out in Video option of DOTA 2 , this is the temperature I am getting.

This is the temperature reading while I am in the game, and When I am not playing and just surfing I am getting this temperature.

According to me, I think because of GPU overheating , the PC is restarting. Right? You guys also think that, that temperature is not good? Because I don't have much idea about temp. so hope you guys know better.

For a instance If I believe that because of GPU overheating, my pc is restarting, then why sometimes, when I am just surfing like Facebook , gmail etc. my PC restart suddenly without any warning. I am just confused. I don't know what is going on with my new PC.

Room temperature - 33.7Deg. Celsius (no Air-Condition )

My PC specs:
Intel i5 3570K
Asrock Extreme 4
Sapphire HD 7950
Segate 1TB Internal Hard Drive
Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD
G.Skill 1600Mhz 4x2 = 8GB RAM
Corsair Carbide 400R Cabinet
Cooler Master 650W GX Series
Asus DVD Writer
Deepcool Gammaxx 400 CPU Cooler
Samsung S24B750V (24 Inch LED Monitor)

Please Note: PC is restarting without any warning like BSOD or anything, and after restart, it is not showing any alert or file missing and stuff. The PC is new and was bought on 5th April, 2013. Hope you guys will help.

Hi,
Considering your enviroment temp your GPU temp is ok. And there is no video card that will overheat with that temps. You are ok with that. All temps are fine.

Your restarts may occur from various reasons, software or hardware caused. It may be faulty PSU which does not provide enough power or some service in windows which triggers restart.

Automatic restart option is meant to halt system when BSOD occurs so you would not experience restart.



Have you experienced this kind of behaviour from first day when you bought PC, with fresh loaded windows?

I am not experienced this for the first time. I face this problem, then after goggling, I found that driver issue can also result in restart, so I formatted my PC and loaded new windows. Then after putting new windows, 1-2 days it was doing fine, then yesterday it restarted in t he middle of the game, and then today it happened 6-8 times. Yesterday 3-4 time, it happened.
