[Starkey 0]

Today i was playing warcraft and wham computer reboots out of now where, no big deal, just hard reset it, i get the windows logo and it goes black and it reboots.

Hmm ok it comes to the F8 screen safe mode, so i run last known config and it loads up too windows logo and then reboots and goes back to f8 ok safe mode this time will fix it not reboot, i was out of options so i decided to reinstall windows ok that fixs it sorta.

But it still reboots i have a pic of my device manager if that helps

Try disabling the automatic restart on system failure:

 

Click Start, then Run and type:

wmic recoveros set AutoReboot = False

 

This should stop on the BSOD.

 

Then tell us what driver is causing this.

I had this same error last week. Talked to one of my buddies and told me to reformat the comp. You have to delete the partiton windows is on and then remake the partiton. Its a registry error if I remeber right
