Whys and Wherefores

The Windows 7 operating system suddenly restarts on its own during use.

Cause

The cause of the problem is that Windows 7 is set by default to automatically restart the operating system after a system failure.

Solution

It is recommended that you cancel automatic restart. If you restart after every system failure, then you will not be able to see some error messages. At "Start" -> "Computer" --> right click on "Properties", and then tap "Advanced system settings".
