[SOLVED] Solved, Linux mint 19.3 rebooting problem. Information.
by flatstan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51GD5)
When mint 19.3 was issued I upgraded my mint 19.2 to it immediately I experienced problems with random reboots usually when double clicking something in Firefox, Evolution or even Open Office, my system immediately rebooted back to the password screen.
Not a big problem but annoying. The other day getting totally infuriated with this I browsed the net to find that other people had the same problem, it was being blamed on hardware problems.
I found a spare HDD and did a fresh install of Mint 19.2 on it, on setting this up & using for a few days I found no problems at all, no rebooting. So this obviously negates the hardware solution and places the case squarely down to 19.3 or perhaps how 19.3 reacts to my system.
I found also that there seemed no obvious difference between 19.3 & 19.2 for me as a general user.
I hope this is useful.
