Computer randomly restarting without warning? (amd processors)

[MisterVIP]

If you're running a computer with AMD processor and have been experiencing random, unannounced restarts, try the steps listed below.

It doesn't matter if your computer is not HP. This is primarily a Windows 10 issue with AMD processors.

"After the recent Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) especially laptops equipped with an AMD processor have been suffering from similar symptoms.

At least some seem to have been helped by disabling the Fast Startup feature of Windows 10 which makes the computer start somewhat faster.

Does not hurt to try disabling it.

Do as follows:

1. Right click the Windows icon down left

2. Select Search

3. Type Control Panel and hit Enter

4. Click on Power Options

5. Choose what the power button does

6. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable

7. Unselect the Turn on fast start-up

8. Select Save changes

9. Restart"

Yeah, because this sort of thing never happens with Intel.

Oh wait, yes it does:

"Intel has revealed that even its newer CPUs are affected by the frequent reboot problems brought about by the Spectre/Meltdown patches."

they happen more often with amd regardless of spectre and meltdown because they use cheap materials

I love reading computer-related threads because I have no freaking idea what you're talking about. But it intrigues me that people know so much more than me behind the scenes in technology. It's like reading a foreign language. I'm not real fluent, but I can pick out bits and pieces!
