PC rebooting ?

[Gaguts]

So, besides all the crashing issues I had with the game since its launch, for the first time my pc simply reboot at a specific point while playing, anyone else experienced something like ?


the reboot happens at the end of "The Terror of the Sun" Quest, after being rescued by Sylens.

Ryzen 7 2700
RX 580 8GB
16GB RAM 3000MHZ

setup at high with few thing on low or turn off

This may not apply to your situation, but I've had issues with my PC rebooting when I enabled XMP for my RAM. Disabling that in the BIOS solved that problem for me.

good call, I'll try it

Disabling XMP on a ryzen chip is NEVER a good call.

maybe the game is making my xmp instable, doesn't hurt to try it, at least the skip this specific session

It's more about it actually being unstable under load regardless of game solely depending on what gets pushed to its limits.

If it is unstable on 3000MTs and both the mem sticks and CPU are cooled sufficiently, go for warranty claim (or test things out, different mem stiucks, CPU, mobo, BIOS).

Indeed however Zen+ didn't go as far as Zen2 does with supported memclk speeds so the percentage gain is less of an issue.

Besides as the man said, testing is not a bad thing.

You might be right, although I had more load on my system with diff games and didn't had issues, I believe is related to the game cuz happens at the same specific point (and is pretty annoying to kill the behemoth bunch of times just to test is rebooting or not) but thanks alot for all your help :D

Unless there the type to run vanilla BIOS on first gen ryzen

A game will not knock down the PC like that, even if it is is rendered using Vulkan/DX12. It either crashes the driver or the system into BSOD and that's the only extend of issues it can cause.

It's merely a load for the PC.

Not lately in any games I've seen. Last time I saw that was initial 1080 release when MSI released a bunch of bad cards.

Rebooting is usually a pretty serious issue pointing to overheating and/or instability. The fact that it occurs as the same point is very unusual though in my experience, unless that just happens to be the same amount of time played (still that's unusual).

Have you run software to see if you are running close to any temperature limits?

Yes! I ran the game with MSI afterburner few times to check, was neither temperature or load, cpu load as below 40% and temps was 75C and 40C, I'm gonna play with low settings and check if was a load issue, then play again without XMP to check if the game is making my system unstable

Thank You all for your replies and help

[Gaguts]

Thanks again for all the replies, I end up just skipping the cut scene and had no issues, back to playing normally.

And again, it's not the game :3

Do stress test your PC, because soner or later the instability will manifest in something much worse (running unstable OC for example, will wear out components faster).
