Hi ZhaoYu Chen,

I understand that despite having same versions of MATLAB and Windows on your new and old system, you are able to able to run it successfully on your old desktop whereas it reboots in case of the new one.

Cases where reboot might happen and how to stop it:

1. Check whether other software installed on your new system is interrupting MATLAB process, causing it to crash and the system to reboot. This could be due to issues with device drivers (especially graphics drivers), antivirus software, or other background applications. Update your software drivers and operating system patches. Try disabling other background applications to check for software conflicts.
2. A bug in MATLAB or a corrupted installation of MATLAB in newer system could cause the software to crash and the system to reboot. This is more likely if the crashes occur consistently when performing a specific action in MATLAB. Reinstall MATLAB to fix any potential corruption issues.
3. Check if new system has a hardware problem, such as faulty RAM or an overheating CPU, it could cause system instability when running resource-intensive applications like MATLAB. Run hardware diagnostics to check for any hardware faults.

Compare the hardware specifications of the old and the new system to identify any potential differences that might impact code execution. Double-check the configuration settings in MATLAB and ensure they match between the two computers.
