PC Shut Down

[KrazyEddie]

Since the new season 6 came out. Battlefield shuts my whole PC down when playing WTF!
Never had a problem like this since the last up date.

What do you mean by shut down?
Does windows do a controlled shut down or does your PC just turn off?

Upgrade your power supply.

reset Windows registry if you've modified it

If your PC instantly shuts itself off, it's not the game. There's a few reasons why a PC would shut down without a blue/green screen.

1a: PSU is dying (which can progressively get worse and worse until it finally wont start back up again).

2a. It's OVP/UVP (Voltage Protection) or OCP (Current Protection), the PSU sending too much voltage into the computer, or too much current being sent into the PSU and shuts itself down to protect your other components or the PSU itself.

1b: If PSU is dying, it will generally just instantly reset the PC, not shut it off although this can be unpredictable, friend of mine just had his PSU blow up entirely, bending the chassi in the process and cracking the motherboard.

When a PSU is slowly dying it begins with certain high-draw games, and eventually it will progress to not even being able to stay on in idle.

2b: If it's OVP/UVP or OCP then the computer will completely shut off and stay off for a few seconds, it wont respond to the power button for a while.

3. Another thing it could be is CPU reaching unsafe temperatures (or the bios thinking it does), this will also immediately shut down your PC to protect the CPU. This happens at different temperatures, generally +95C, but it depends on the motherboard bios. If this is the case, just clean your dustfilters. And if you don't have dustfilters, clean the heatsinks. Avoid spinning the fans with a vacuum cleaner. Replacing thermal paste is also a good idea if it's been more than 2 years.

Comments like these are so useless.
You dont know what OP did and even if OP edited the registry the chances of those changes, which you dont know anything about, shutting down a system are VERY slim.

Comments like these are so useless ... slim CHANCE you agree

I bet that the chances of me winning in the lottery 10 times in a row and getting those new organs I need are far better than the chances of OP having edited his registry in a way that causes his PC to shut down when launching one specific game xD
Especialy since OP didnt mention anything of that nature.

Its best to hold back your recomendations until you know more about the exact problems.
"Shut down" could really mean anything and is, besides updating the game, the only piece of information that OP has given to us.

Can you check the Event Viewer? what does it say on specific time that your PC shut down?

If ASUS board there are some files you have to remove.
It has something to do with their anti-cheat and Asus software.

That is not true, the game works fine for tons of people with asus boards and no further removal of any files.
Sigh...

PC just turning off is usually a temperature issue.
