That could be an issue of your CPU overheating. There are programs you can download that will show you the temperatures.

This is usually a problem with overheating. Clean your machine

Same. PC turns off when when the helicopter crashes. Everytime. Core i7 11700K, 32 GB RAM, 3070 Ti. The temperature of the CPU and GPU is 48 degrees celsius.

He is using a 3070 ti, which is a very beefy graphics card so i doubt its an overload.

Not optimized GPU memory filling, I guess.

Usually if the PC just shuts down without any error it is a PSU problem.

I would download OCCT and run the PSU stress test to see if it is the PSU, also make sure your power cables to the GPU and motherboard are clicked all the way in.
I have the same problem on my laptop. Even though high temperatures are expected on laptops it still seems like the game is not well optimized for them. My laptop is 1 years old and has a ryzen 9 5900 and a 6800M. It is unlogical to not even be able to start the game.

I found a solution. In AMD software: Adrenalin edition, find Sons of the forest between games. Then go to Tune game performance and select GPU Undervolted and hit apply in the top right corner. This worked for me. I think Nvidia should has similiar settings.
