Product Name:- HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0026AX
Operating System:- Windows 10 Home 64bit
CPU:- Ryzen 5 3550h
GPU:- Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050(3GB)
Bios :- latest updated
Purchased on:- Jan 2020
I am facing an issue which irritates me most of the time.
Whenever i am playing any game for 30mins or more , then i shut-down the laptop normally.
But then, after sometime when i start my laptop it doesn't boot normally it boots like it is restarting ( just like when we restart any system and it boots with longer time than usual) but it boots successfully no issue of not booting in windows. It just that it boots like its restarting after heavy work,gaming.
I am facing this restart like boot issue everytime when i play game or do a heavy task for long duration.
For solving this i contacted HP Support on whatsapp , applied their provided solutions
But it doesn't work .
I have done the Full windows recovery using the HP cloud Recovery Tool .But it doesn't work either.
If someone has same issue and resolved in some way , plz help me.

Welcome to HP Community
I have gone through your Post and would like to help
After the System Recovery have you updated all the drivers?
Please download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...
HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook
Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.
Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.
Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.
Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.
Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.
Also ensure Windows is up to date.
Select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available
Keep me posted how it goes
Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

Since all the Tests pass and the issue persists, I suggest you perform a Reset and check if that works

Since you had already performed the System Recovery, I suggest you run an extensive System Test to confirm the Hardware Functionality
- Shut down the Notebook completely
- Turn it back on, then tap the Esc key repeatedly until the Startup menu screen is displayed.
- Press F2 to select System Diagnostics.
- Click System Tests, then click Extensive Test.
Thank you
