Semi-Emergency.
What has happened to cause this rebooting problem?
For the last 5 to 10 boot times, Debian 12 boots and I get to the login. Enter credentials. Cinnamon Desktop comes on-screen. All is working. Then, screen goes blank. System reboots. Does not power down. Reboots. Same as before. Some days, OS works normally. 30Sep24, over an hour of reboots. I've run journalctl -xb and see nothing related (warnings about bluetooth). As this is a dual boot Win10 and Debian 12 laotop, even Windows shut down (and rebooted into the default Debian). I've tried the earlier linuz-6.1.0-25-amd64, too. No joy. I have run an grub-update.
In one instance of boot time and dropping to "C" and getting a grub prompt, on exiting I was taken to an initramfs prompt. Could not exit that and CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot out of that.

I have my /home on an external device. I'm happy to reinstall Debian. My question is, how do I get the new (newer) install to wipe sda5 ( which is /) and sda6 (which is /home), reinstall Debian 12. and not overlook the Windows partitions, efi, etc.? I read that the new Deb installer does not have os-prober set "ON" by default.
This newer, 7 year old laptop, does not have a CMOS battery on the motherboard. The RTC runs from the main laptop battery, which holds, at this time, about an 84% charge. The OS seems stable for now 15:18 UTC. I'll stay online, as long as the OS will be stable. Thank you, Linux/Debian Community
PS OS offline 15:36 UTC. I have photos of normalcy -xb. I’ll transcribe them and post here after transcription.
