Windows 11 keeps rebooting (I am tired)

xboxown · Mar 24, 2023

I am going to buy later an external hard drive of 4 TB and do full backup of my data...just in case a need for format and fresh install of OS. I pray I never reach there.....IT IS SO NOT FUN.

Don't put backups off until later. Backup NOW! Unless your data isn't that important to you.

FYI this is telling your your AMD graphics card needs updated drivers. Since you basically reinstalled Win11 did you install the latest AMD Chipset drivers? Have you even gone to Microsoft Update to update the OS/system drivers? That should offer to update the graphics drivers for the GPU.

You need a video card driver. If you don't know what video card you have - use the Auto-Detect tool - just click on the big Download Now button:

Then proceed with the install.

Do What the message tells you.
Go to the MSI download page for your model and download the AMD Graphics Driver B450 TOMAHAWK MAX | Motherboard | MSI Global

Thank you all for your work and help. I went out shopping and returned and still have not rebooted yet. Usually, it would have rebooted 450 times by now in less than two-minute spectrum. I am doing hawk observation on this device. Thank you all for guiding me with that error message, especially @Spunk for the link. Much appreciate it. As for not valuing my data, I valued it dearly in my heart actually. My problem is that I don't have money yet to buy external hard drive to back it up. I need to buy it first and once I do I will immediately backup everything. That is a promise to myself.

I installed the drivers and still the prompt message pops up. I guess it is ok, I don't mind as long as my system is functional it is just an annoying prompt message whenever a reboot is needed. No big deal.

MSI will not be able to supply his system with a video driver. The Ryzen 3600 does not include an iGPU. He needs to get a driver either through MS update or from AMD directly.

Which of these I need to select? Graphics? Professional Graphics? Chipsets? Processor? I am confused.

xboxown · Mar 24, 2023

Hmmm. I cannot find the 3600 anywhere. Could it be it is already discontinued six months right after purchase from the store?!

xboxown · Mar 24, 2023

This one?

Try this link: AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600 Drivers & Support

You might have only purchased the processor 6 months ago, but it was launched in 2019, so in design terms it's around 4 years old. The last Driver and Software update is dated 5/2/2022.

Even a 2022 official OEM driver is better than a 2023 generic driver from Windows Update.

Windows 11 is not the one giving you that message but installing the graphic card driver should resolve the problem.

Exactly what I wwas thinking. I just bought a Samsung T7 1TB portable SSD and I have all my super important stuff on it that I have lost many times in the past, even with backup software I lost ALOT. Now I use a portable SSD along with EaseUs Todo Pro Backup (Daily Backups) to a second drive, so backed up twice.

It rebooted again.......problem is no solved. I wanted to give it a week worth to see if it reboot....but it failed. Even though it toke a long time now to reboot...it still rebooted.

xboxown · Mar 24, 2023

I can say it is much an improvement than before....it is somewhat useable but still rebooting.

I ask this before but is there a memory dump files in C:\Windows\MiniDump folder?

On the link from my previous post there's a huge DOWNLOAD NOW button for Auto-Detect and Install for Windows® 10/11 - which downloads and installs the required drivers automatically.

Never mind, i give up.
