I've just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my computer and now I'm experiencing that my computer reboots every few hours by itself. What is the cause of this and how can I fix this?

  • We need more information, is it a sudden shutdown, without any loading screens? or does it take it's time. If it's the first one, it is most likely a hardware issue, if it is the second one, ubuntu may be shutting down due to overheating, or an error. if you have a different pc power supply, or laptop battery, you should try using those, good luck, and please give a bit more info. – Zalgo Apr 24 '16 at 03:36
  • I'm seeing hard resets every once in a while. Happens every few hours, usually while I'm doing something heavy-ish or when I log in to x. It actually started right after the last kernel upgrade on the previous version of ubuntu. I figured upgrading might get me a new, unbugged kernel but no dice. – Nik May 06 '16 at 14:09

it does a restart every now and then. I'm using a laptop. the laptop does feel very warm sometimes. so I guess it's probably a temperature issue as you mentioned.

  • As you said the laptop does feel very warm sometimes. So check its temperature before it reboots, every 5-10 minutes. here is one nice answer that may help you. – Sxl Apr 13 '17 at 09:45
