PC having issues

[Cupe]

Ok, these are the symptoms:

Turn the PC

It loads to desktop (most times)

Then it logs off the user (even though it's not setup to have users)

Then restarts

Does this on a loop.

Got it cleaned out, got rid of all the dust, let it cool down for a while

Next turn on it ran for about 3 minutes, then the above happened again

Thoughts?

I don't have physical access to the computer so I can't fuck with it

I just need ideas of why this is happening

[Mitch]

Probably heat issues. Once the sensors reach a certain temp is shuts computer down. maybe cpu fan/heatsink is faulty

or still a virus potentially

[Cupe]

I duno why all of a sudden after a billion years the heatsink would just fuck up

If I can at least reset bios to default we'll see if it's overclocking related

or boot in safe mode and check evntvwr.msc or whatever it is

[Jaz]

But you said it never had users set up?

Enter in safe mode and disabled users n see if that does anything

[Cupe]

It loads up to safe mode and doesn't do the restart thing so that's one good thing

Really not sure what could be causing this
