    Windows 11 laptop keeps shutting down or restarting when idle


    Hi, I'm not very Windows literate but need some help with this problem, as I rely on my computer for work and am worried it will start happening when I am working on a client's project.As the subject line states: I'm using a laptop running Windows 11 and almost every time I leave it for more than a couple of minutes, it shuts down or restarts. Bearing in mind I really have no idea what I'm doing, following online advice from articles etc., I've tried:-- running the following command lines on several separate occasionsWindows 11 laptop keeps shutting down or restarting when idle :DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealthDISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanH

    Random shut down and restart??

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz
    2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
    Windows xp

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Windows 11 laptop keeps shutting down or restarting when idle :confused:*Mad Windows 11 laptop keeps shutting down or restarting when idle :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

    Windows 10 issue: laptop -- after a few hours idle, have to restart

    I just downloaded windows 10. I changed the settings so that the computer does
    not shut down/hibernate after x amount of minutes. However, after being idle for several hours, my laptop is still on, but is frozen -- nothing on the screen and will not respond. I must restart it. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
    I never had this problem with windows 8!

    Won't shut down or restart -- error X0X

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I would like to ask what are the methods that you have tried to solve the issue.

    The issue might occur if the computer is not shut down properly. so, I suggest you to perform a power drain by follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    • Shut down the Computer.
    • Remove all power source (including battery if it is a laptop).
    • Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
    • Connect the power source and start the computer.
    • After the computer boots to the desktop, suggest you to install all the pending updates.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
