The potential is for registry keys being damaged (removed/faulty settings) or files to be in a state of transitions. In this scenario, fixing the registry in isolation gives no guarantee it’ll resolve the issue though.

At the very least, you could try its <a href="http://tinyurl.com/reimagefreescan" rel="nofollow">free scan</a> to diagnose if it’s the registry and/or faulty files that are causing the issue then chose for yourself how to fix it (by yourself or using Reimage).

I was quite worried over this for a while. Actually my UPS is not functioning properly, and power supply also flactuates quite often, so my PC restarts again and again.
Now, I think I don’t need to worry that my PC is getting harmed.
Thanks for inputs
