My old laptop keeps restarting, but after many restarts it comes back to normal.

When did it start doing this? When did you install Windows 7?

Just this mid 2014, but its just only few restarts, until it becomes annoying like 5-10 restarts.

I installed windows 7 to this laptop about 2013 I think, I cant remember accurately.

Sorry for late respond. It has Intel Core 2 Duo. Minimum is 51-43 and maximum is 74, Celcius. Via RealTemp.

I got new observations:
1. The very first start up it goes to windows error recovery ( The ones with Startup Repair)
2. its normal on safe mode, no restarts.

Its getting a bit hot. Fair chance its the cause of your problem. Remove the covers and blow the case out. Get a good laptop cooler.

Is there a chance that the fan is not functioning normally? Because I reapplied the thermal pastes and removed the dusts from the fan, heat sink, and vent only.

But when I go to safe mode, its all normal. Wierd, maybe its on software?

You can do a checkdisk with repair. And a virus scan.

Then from Safe Mode try a Computer Repair. Then Last Known Good Configuration (System Restore) per http/windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7

Then you can check all the devices in Device Manager - to see if they're working properly and if their drivers are up to date.

That'd be a good start to checking software.

Thanks, doing it right now. Is there by chance that the CMOS is the problem? Because the clock keeps resetting.

Tried this, and the software repair that you said via safe mode. Still no luck. It seems my laptop needs more serious attention.

And I cant find the CMOS Battery.

You'd need to remove covers to see the battery.

Maybe time to take it to a repair shop.
