We have a network with Crestron module and 4 computers. We start the computers from the Creston sending a WOL command to the computers. They are all on the same network. My problem is the PC starts to open and shut off automatically after few seconds. We have to start them manually. When computers are started, we can stoop and restart it with no problem from the Crestron.

Do you know why my computer start booting and suddenly stops intermittently?

My suggestion would be to take a look at the Event Viewer log(s) in the computers.

See what the logs record with respect to the WOL and then what is subsequently recorded just before or at the time of the shutdown.

Look for processes and services that start up and/or shutdown. Especially some dependencies within the overall startup/boot process. Some service or process failing to start and all comes to a halt.

You may need to browse around the logs some to find the applicable log entries. However with four computers very good chance that there should be some immediate pattern or consistency in the log entries. Any Error codes will be quite helpful.

Then see what fixes are or may be available.

Use one computer as a test...

Use one computer as a test unit for making configuration changes and only change one thing at a time. When the issue is resolved then apply that fix to the remaining three computers.
