Hello,

 

I am not sure what is going on but my computer randomly restarts and when I look at the event logs it says Event ID 41 task category 63.

Hi confused_goose

Allow me to ask you a few questions concerning your issue :

When are these shutdown happening ? What are you doing ? Browsing, gaming, watching videos, etc. ?
May we have your computer specs ? Providing a screenshot of Speccy (by Piriform) would be useful. If you don't have it, you can download and install it from here.
What is your current RAM and CPU usage ? You can get these from the Performance tab in the Task Manager.

Hello Aura,

Thank you so much for helping out!! It actually happens at random times. So today when it happened I was taking notes on microsoft word earlier when it happened I was watching a video on youtube and the time before that, when it happened, I was just browsing the internet. 

I have attached the .txt file from Speccy as suggested and a picture of my Performance tab in Task Manager.

Alright

Right-click on your Window Start Menu icon and select System. From there, click on Advanced System Settings (in the left pane). Click on the 3rd Setting button (under Startup and Recovery). Can you tell me if the Automatically Restart option is checked or not ?

Alright, let's run a chkdsk on your Windows partition then. Be aware that a CHKDSK scan can take several hours to complete, and you shall not interrupt it under any circumstances as you could damage your HDD badly.

• Right-click on the Windows Start Menu and select Command Prompt (Administrator);;
• From there, enter the command chkdsk /r C:
• It will tell you that the drive is in use, cannot be locked and asks you if you want to schedule the scan for the next restart;
• Enter y then press on Enter;
• Now simply restart your computer and leave the chkdsk run until it's finished;

Report back after.

Trying chkdisk now. It's been stuck at 10% for a while now (writing this from my tablet) should I be worried?

Don't be worried, it just means that its hitting bad sectors and trying to recover data from them. The best thing to do is to leave it running overnight or while you're at work.

When the computer shutdown, does it produces a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) or not ?
