Easy PC Troubleshooting

First thing you need to check is your network cable. There are cases where twisted or kink-laden cables (caused by office wear and tear) cause PCs to self-reboot. The simple solution is to replace the cable. I’m sure the supplies personnel in your office would not begrudge you of such a simple request. Or if you’re the one shouldering the cost, I assure you that your wallet won’t feel the loss.

If it isn’t the cable, then it must be the network card. Experts from Answers that Work suggest the 3com network card for servers. Just ask form your technician regarding this.

Cause number 3 is a faulty Uninterruptible Power Supply or UPS. This usually happens when the PC’s UPS has outlived its two year warranty. This happened to me years ago when I was working on my undergraduate thesis. My PC would self-reboot at the most inopportune times. The cause of my agony was a simple faulty battery. The best solution to this problem is to replace the UPS when it turns 18 months old. This will prevent having your work interrupted by a sudden reboot only to find out that you had not saved any of your data for the last hour.
