The file is attached, I was sending you the same in pm but your mailbox quota is full. Please check and confirm whether the hardware needs any upgrade or not. We only need it for typing and nothing else.
Well please guide me on a VM i.e. how exactly to use it, I highly doubt that the folks will try it. Will try to convince them.
I am having trouble with Hindi, Punjabi fonts. Also with softwares like Summit script manager, 4clipika etc. in 7 and above editions of Windows OS.

Max VID 1.288 VIt says here that your CPU is a Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400. This was released in 2009 according to Intel's information site and is currently in "End-of-life" status. Did you get this CPU brand new in 2014? If you got it new, then I doubt that it would be faulty. It could be a problem with some other component. Also, let's not rule out viruses or malware.
As for creating VM, you can find detailed steps on the VirtualBox site. You can refer this page: Chapter*1.*First steps

We told the computer shop from where we purchased the computer that we just need the pc for typing and according to our budget he assembled the best components. No, virus's as we are scanning the pc with K7 almost every week. Malware, IDK I think I should scan it via Malwarebytes.
Thanks for VM, I will check that out. Any last piece of advice so that I could save it from crashing next time.

Who shuts down the pc at night?

Damm bro. IDK what's up with the computer.
People who type. They shut it down the way it is supposed to be shut down. Did you check my reply above? Waited after clicking safe mode, but it was restarting.

I read it alright. I am looking for specific answer, not a generic one.
I am thinking like - do everyone diligently wait till all the fans stop turning or does someone just give a shutdown command and turn off the mains? So each time you see the screen like you have posted in the first page, thr first thing you need to do is track down who turned off at night and ask them specific questions.
Also you said that the computer just restarts after safe boot. I need to know if there was a message just before the computer restarted. It is important to know.

Agreed!
As we are already looking into s/w issues and h/w ones.
Let's not rule out human error. If possible just be there one day when the PC shut down at night. Just to verify the process is followed properly.
b/w also note down if this safe mode is an everyday issue or has a pattern.
Like every Mon, Wed and Fri it happens etc. Try to take log of at least 2-3 weeks and compare what were different in those days.

I asked about this and everyone said that they waited for the fans to stop before turning the mains off. I will make sure that the shutting down is done as it should be.
No message dear, after showing the last line of mup.sys it just restarted.
We do not get the safe mode/black screen until and unless we are screwed. It happens within 20-30 days.

That mup.sys gives a better clue as I search the internet. See the details are important.
The possibilities now look like the following for me (since they continue to occur beyond total reinstalls they are hardware related)
1. Faulty power supply - ask your computer guy to test the PSU or replace it with a new better one. Go for a reputed brand rather than Chinese.
2. Faulty peripherals - list everything that is connected by cable to your computer. The next time your computer does this, pull out the cables and see if the computer boots into safe mode rather than restarting. USB based things are the most important but check everything anyway.

Here are some links for your reading pleasure
