Windows Reboot Test Software

Hi all I have a PC in my workshop that has random BSODS on startup from time to time. Does anybody know of a program that auto reboots your computer once windows has loaded up?

Thanks in advance

Not quite following the question. Do you want to recover from the BSOD automatically?

If so then Windows can be configured to do that, it's in the advanced startup and recovery options in the System properties.

Restarting from a BSOD is usually the default behaviour in Windows.

The real question is why do you want restart Windows when it loads? If it has loaded, then it hasn't BSoD'ed thus you don't need to restart. If it did BSoD, any applications for restarting wont run :/

Just not getting this at all ???????

I think he wants it to reboot unattended until it blue screens again. Is the dump file not there? I'd look in the event viewer, if it has BSOD'd in the past there should be some clues in there.

A simple batch script will do that for him then.

Code:

shutdown -r -t 30

Will restart the computer 30 seconds after the script runs.

Cheers SiriusB I knew the shutdown command and reboot didnt know -t guess its time is it? Wonderfull btw. And yes this is just to test a "Random" Bsod that occurs like 1 in 20 boots the event log shows the system error 102 but no info when i look into it. Ive made some changes to the pc that I think have sorted it but dont want to sit there rebooting to find it doesnt do it after 20 attempts so the batch script will run just fine so I can crack on with other work.

Gracias
