Complete the following steps:

  1. Original UEFI settings are still present. If a customer intends to continue using the original settings, select Save Settings.
  2. If User did not intentionally trigger the reboots, check logs for probable cause. For example, if there is a battery fault event, follow the steps to resolve that event.
