So, my PC is about 6 months old and it is my first PC. Over the last week I haven noiced that it keeps restarting every 30 mins or so. I have researched that there is a virus which does this however my anti-virus isn't finding anything. All of my temps are fine. My OS is Windows 10. Please help :/

My suggestion is to check the Event Viewer logs.

I am a firm believer in using those logs to troubleshoot problems.

Here is a link from this forum that will help:

What you will be looking for are error patterns the repeat every 30 minutes or so.

Do not be intimidated by the logs. Just peruse and look. You will quickly begin to understand the organizations and format.

Once you identify some entries/errors "of interest", right click those entries for more details. Then google any error codes or messages.

Avoid, and do not fall for, any websites that pop up claiming that some download will fix the error. Such sites will pop up no matter what error you are...
