I just built a gaming pc with a pentium g4400, gtx 1050, 8gb ram, Gigabyte H110M-A, 1tb hard drive, and Evga 430w w1 80+ psu. The first time I turn on my computer for the day it runs for a little then turn off then back on randomly multiple times and then it lets me use it with no problem. I go into setting on my pc to look at the errors and it says it was a unknown error and it had to reboot/shutdown. Is this a issue with unupdated bios cause I just got the part? If it is how do I know what bios/drivers to update?

I gave you a link to the support web site and a list of drivers to download and install in a previous reply.
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110M-A-rev-10#support-dl

Go to that web site, select your operating system, and download the drivers. Open the zip files and run the setup program.

You looked where ?

Are you getting blue screens ?

Have you disabled automatic restarts ?

Just got the part ? You mean MoBo ? If so did you wipe the drive and reinstall Windows fresh ? If not, do so.



1. Prepare for Windows installation with USB tool or use whatever media you may have

2. Connect boot drive data cable to lowest numbered SATA port .... but don't connect:
-Ethernet cable
-SATA Data Cable for any other drives

3. Install Windows to boot drive

4. Turn off Windows ability to install Hardware drivers

5. Install all hardware drivers from original media in boxes See Item 7 below

6. Connect ethernet cable and run Windows Update till it stops doing anything

7. Install latest drivers for ALL hardware from manufacturers web sites. The reason we didn't do this in step 5 is 3 fold:
-Sometimes MoBo CD comes with licensed utilities with product key embedded and these are not on web site versions
-Its advisable to establish a working out of box conditions
-Sometimes newer drivers require latest Windows Updates

If you have a 2nd drive ....

8. Shut down and connect HD data cable to 2nd lowest numbered SATA port.

9. Boot to BIOS and make sure that SSD is the 1st boot device, if not fix it

10. Boot to Windows

Get the motherboard model information and search the manufacturers website. They should have all of these available for download and should tell you which ones you need.

Ok thanks. And since my pc has been resetting randomly and coming up with a error that says it is unknown and had to reboot. Will turning off automatic restart on my pcs setting stop this and with it get damaged because it won't be able to restart?

Yes. And do you know if turning off automatic restart if the system fails help or will it damage my pc because it can't reboot? I heard that it displays the error message on your screen.

Read the link, what you are describing is not "automatic restart".

Back in the day, when PC would crash or blue screen, it would sit there and display the blue screen with the error message telling you what is wrong. MS decided it would be a good thing to hide this information. So now when automatic restart is engaged, the PC restarts before you get a chance to get the information necessary to troubleshot the problem.

See steps 5 - 7 on the above list as to why you don't normally want to download latest drivers. However, considering that this is a budget H110 board, I highly doubt there's anything worthwhile on that CD, so if that's the case you could skip steps 5 and 6.

Make sure to download the utilities also,

AppCenter, EasyTune should be automatics but you may foins many of the others useful also.

Finally, learn how to use Event Viewer so analyze windows logs. look for any Error aor Warning messages particualarly on the systems log. You can copy the error / warning details and use web search for suggestions

If there is an error message/bluescreen and you have disabled Automatic Restart, the error message will stay on the screen until you manually restart your computer (which you must in order to get the system up and running again).

Did you install the drivers for your motherboard?

No I did not install the drivers. How do I install drives? My MoBo is gigabyte H110m-a. And do you know what this error is? "The system had to reboot at 'Time' on 'Date' unexpectedly.

A. No. This is the steps your PC goes thru now all w/o Auto restart disabled

1. System Failure
2. BSOD Error message
3. Shutdown
4. Restart
5. Arrive at Windows desktop

This what happens when disabled

1. System Failure
2. BSOD Error message

STOP AND AWAIT USER ACTION

3. Shutdown
4. Restart
5. Arrive at Windows desktop

B. See previous posts on how to install the drivers. Choices

1. Borrow a portable USB Optical drive ad copy / paste from the provided CD to thumb drive.

2. Have a friend copy the CD to to a Thumb drive

3. Download them from manufacturer's web site

C. When machine boots go into BIOS and make sure date and time is correct. Copy / paste the exact long error message from Event Viewer and do a web search. As I am getting 0 hits searching on what you wrote, I gotta believe the message is not accurately conveyed
