The screenshot is not really informative, the actual dump needs to be analysed.
One simple thing you can try.
Turn on the PC and while it is turning on, keep pressing F8 (pres 2-3 times per second). At some point it will give you a menu with the boot options, there will be Normal Boot, Safe Mode, etc.
One of the options called "Last known good configuration". Press on it, and keep your fingers crossed :-)0 -
Assuming that the PC is up and running, then go to the desktop right click on the start "button" and select Event Viewer. Go to Windows logs, System and look for error items , then screen print the one that tells you it has rebooted (or an approximation of that)4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex .

"Last known good configuration", think this does not exist any more either in 8 and above

Sorry it seems to have cured itself, not sure how or why. but all it kept doing was rebooting.All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.0 -

Just look in event viewer at the logs and have a read of the red and yellow ones in system to make sure it is not serious
Personally, would do a chkdsk too, especially after multiple reboots.0
