PC Restarts While Mining

Diagnose sudden Windows restarts under sustained mining load. This guide uses a symptom-first workflow for Windows users and avoids assuming that one setting fixes every system.

Check Event Viewer after the restart

Check Event Viewer after the restart. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

Return clocks and voltage to defaults

Return clocks and voltage to defaults. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

Investigate PSU capacity and cabling

Investigate PSU capacity and cabling. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

Test GPU and CPU loads separately

Test GPU and CPU loads separately. Confirm the current state first, make one controlled change, then compare the result with the previous run. Keep notes so a failed change can be reversed.

When to stop testing

Stop if you see unstable power delivery, abnormal temperatures, repeated system crashes, or hardware errors. Restore known-good settings before continuing diagnosis.
