Since I was not getting any errors that were telling why and what was happening to make the computer restart .. especially since it was so random, I opened up my computer to check that everything was seated properly.
I found that I had a heatsink with a built in fan? and it has a wire...
@antspants , @FreeBooter , @wiganken Thanks for responding
Ok so I started following the steps in the video you shared.
Automatic restart on System Failure was already disabled.
I'm going to try reapplying thermal paste to the CPU I had not thought to do that. It has been 6-7 since I built...
Ok so this is my other older computer. It's not that old you can see the specs on my 2nd system here.
I did check the power supply with a Power Supply Tester and everything seems fine.
Here are the kind of errors I get after the computer restarts:
Ok I think I got everything working properly again. It's been two weeks without any problems.
What did I do?
I went and reformatted and reinstalled Windows 11. This time when it asked it I wanted to set up the computer as a new user (?) or use the profile I already had I told it to set the...

Ok so the good news I was able to reinstall Windows 11!
@spapakons There were so many little odd partitions besides the main ones. I guess they were created by my repeatedly trying and failing to install the OS. Anyhow I deleted all of them, left the hard drive as unallocated and installed...
Nope this doesn't work.
I tried using Hiren's Boot CD to reformat the OS partition (again).
At first it looked like this helped. I restarted the computer with the Windows 11 Boot USB I made. This time it made it to 83% installation only to restart again.
Then I get this message

Well I'd prefer not to do that as it's a 4 TB drive and I don't remember what's on the other partitions but I have a lot of work on this computer.
I'm thinking I may just set up another hard drive just as the dedicated OS drive. I'll try this out once this memory test clears.
@Ghot Ok good to know.
So that means this not the issue with the computer still continuously restarting and not being able to complete a Windows 11 Install.
What can I try next?
