You have a hardware problem, you can try reseating the memory and unplugging
attached devices to see if you can track down the problem.
Maybe be a faulty motherboard or power supply.

If you have to ask, I would highly recommend you take your PC to a competent
repair shop.

Sorry about your condition, but I have cancer with about six months left.
What restart button are you pushing? I don't remember such an animal.

Sorry to hear that I had a stem cell transplant and so far so good.
I have two buttons one that turns the computer and I always was thinking the
other one was a restart button if you push it the computer screen goes black
and then it restartes windowns

Oh. That's not a 'Restart' button, it's a 'Reset' button to be used only
when you can't restart the computer properly. The Restart in the Shut Down
box goes through a clean shutdown before restarting. The Reset button just
powers the computer off and then on, a 'dirty' shutdown that can cause
damage to Windows.
