I got really hard times with my PC, It kept restarting itself many times. I format it and installed windows 10, the issue has not solved! it became worse.
Now, I get this error " the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error" after I finished installing windows 10.
Any solution?

Hi
Not sure which model you have, but there is troubleshooting here...
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-24-g000-all-in-one-desktop-pc-series/10734619/model/11975660
There are lots of possible driver conflicts EG:
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver (Windows 10 v1709/ v1803) | 23.20.16.4849 Rev.A | 306.3 MB | Jan 12, 2018 |
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver for APL (Windows 10 v1607/ v1703 / v1709 / v1803) | 22.20.16.4836 Rev.A | 281.6 MB | Feb 9, 2018 |
So matching you your OS would be a good place to start. Maybe use this tool?

Hi
I dont know what model number you have. Below is 1 of 7 choices.
So if you ID your model number, then maybe try and install the correct drivers.
Try WinKey + R type msinfo32 and read the SKU: from line 9.

Hi
First of all let's all laugh about the message.
Encountered an unexpected error, if only Microsoft would tell us in advance of the expected errors.
So
Step 1 Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.
Step 2 Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Step 3 Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Step 4 Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).
Step 5 Windows Logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B
Step 6 If you’re using multiple displays, try projecting video to a different monitor.
Press the Windows Logo key + P, select a display, and then press Enter.

Make a repair or Recovery DVD/USB or better still use the one you made when the PC was new.
