Win 10 reboots since the ongoing updates

4,010 115 June 2, 2021 at 01:07 PM
I have a HP Compaq 6200 Pro SFF Intel 5 pc - I did upgrade HDD, Ram, Video card
BIOS J01 v02.28 March 24th 2015
Its been working fine.

With this never ending updates, now it reboots in the middle of my work. No blue screen.

How to fix this?

HP has 2014 BIOS - but my PC has March 2015 BIOS - how is it possible?

Update:
- Soon after I bought this on NewEgg, I installed the Video Card - will get back with the year of purchase
- a year ago, I put larger 2nd HDD.
- a year ago, I added more memory

I mentioned "GPU Core 86C, Max allowed 92C" - the max allowed is arbitrarily entered by the software I use,OpenHardwareMonitor
The new card with fan working runs around 50C

The article below states "But the average GPU temp while gaming should be around 65 degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius".

Apparently modern cards fan got turned off at temp below 60C. Mine is not modern and fan motor bearing must have failed resulting in bearing sound.
If the computer has integrated graphics (looks like it probably does, DisplayPort and VGA), the simplest and most effective thing you can try is removing the video card for at lest a few weeks. If the random reboots stop, you found the problem. If the random reboots don't stop when you remove the video card, you're in the market for a new pc.

Years ago, I had a case fan in an older computer seize up resulting in my hard drives being cooked while I was out of town. A MOSFET in the power supply of a computer of mine that's similar in age to yours exploded last year.

Until you try removing the video card to see if it resolves your issues there's really no point in this thread continuing.
