I bought my computer half a month ago, and it randomly restarts every few days.

The computer is brand new and has only been assembled for half a month. I tested it first and found no problems, but sometimes it restarts automatically. It happens randomly. It may restart half an hour after booting up, or it may not restart for two or three days. It restarted once while I was playing a game and once while I was reading a document. Is this automatic restart caused by the hard drive?

  • No, automatic restarts like you describe are almost never caused by the hard drive. Hard drive failures typically cause file corruption, blue screens (BSODs), slow performance, or boot failures—not random, spontaneous reboots.
