This particular problem is commonly identified with the Windows Operating System. More stable systems like Linux and Unix generally do not have this problem. In any case, the architecture of the various operating systems are different and as such each has its own share of problems at one time or another. “My Computer Keeps Restarting After Software Installation” is one of the more common concerns that I have encountered people having from time to time. In most cases, the reason why this happens is that a System file may have become corrupted as a result of the installation or the installation was not done properly or that it was not meant for the particular operating system that it was installed on. There are times too when the installation files themselves may be corrupt and as a result disrupt the normal operation of the operating system. Some of the times simply uninstalling the software solves the problem, but there are times when that alone is not enough.

What would you do in such a case? The quickest and usually more effective thing to do is to use the System Restore feature that comes with the Windows OS. It allows you to roll back to a time when the computer was working fine so that you will be able to use the computer again. I have spoken about it before in one of my previous posts entitled System Restore. You may read it to see how to perform the operation. One way to help prevent a recurrence of the problem is to follow all the installation instructions carefully. All too often people believe that because they have years of experience using computers that they know it all. None of us are too old to learn. In addition, always ensure that the software you are going to install is compatible with the Operating System that you are using. Conflicts can result in your computer restarting by itself from now till eternity. These few tips can help save you hours (or even days) worth of headache trying to rectify a problem you could have prevented in the first place.
