Game keeps Crashing my PC

[Just_Radish22]

every time I go to leave the game I close it in the same way, and every time it either fully crashes my computer or it forces a restart.

The game also fails to save whenever this happens so I have to delete the newest auto save file and hope that i haven't lost too much progress.

This has been going on for about a week now.

I'm doubting that it's the game, might be borked files/drivers, we'd see the issue crop up more often if it was the game. Try verifying files/reinstalling game, for starters, make sure all of your drivers are up to date, and make sure nothing suspicious is running in the background.

Do you get a bluescreen when computer restarts ? Any kind of error code at any point ? Can you give us more details ?

when I select exit to desktop when I go to leave the game I get a blue screen saying my PC has crashed and is collecting data. if I try to close the game by quitting to the main menu and then exiting to desk top my monitors turn black and then come back on, over and over till I restart or shut down my PC. My graphics drivers are up to date and so is my windows 10.

is their anyway i can provide a log?

There's gonna be an error code on that screen, that's what I would ask you to get. Might look something like PAGE_FAULT_ERROR. It will be at the bottom of that screen. I'm not sure how to get logs, I generally troubleshoot without them. Someone else might be better than I am at this. ^^''

But getting a BSOD like that is more indicative of a problem with either windows or your hardware. Drivers might not be up to date, some windows files might be broken, you might be running software that you shouldn't run that is taking too much resources, it could be attributed to like, running this on a potato, etc...

In very rare cases, it might also be windows not having access to the file it's trying to write to, running V as admin might solve that issue (somewhat of a temporary fix, if this works, you might want to fix your user privileges in the longer run), or alternatively, making sure that the windows user profile does have access to write to all the folders V is likely to write to. In any case, that's probably the first thing I would try to troubleshoot this. ^^''

I'm getting the same thing - instant reboot, and no warning, so no time to gather log files and analyse why it's happening. I've tried all sorts of things like installing MSI Autoburner with different settings, changing the GPU options in the game to BARE MINIMUM, setting the DPI to 1366 even, but still, it really wants to crash my PC and reboot :)

I've had the same with 7 Days To Die, only recently, and it seems to point at the Unity game engine, which all these games have in common. Same again with Dune. So, Unity, please have a look at your engine,

Other forums point to: it's your PC's fault, update the GPU drivers, buy a new PSU, increase RAM and more - yes, any of these may work, but it's a shame that when, having nerfed the settings down to the very lowest level, that other games work fine, but Unity-based games suddenly all exhibit the same issue. I'd at least expect just the game to crash, not my entire system, which is pretty serious.

P:S. - one forum recommended this:

Verify game files in Steam.
Disable the Antivirus temporarily.
Update graphics drivers.
For lower graphics settings, use Windowed Mode.
Consider replacing the power supply - !!!
Grant Windows Firewall access.

So people have to consider replacing the PSU?? Seriously? I know this is a game about playing a vampire, but for the game to suck all the power out of my PC and restart it randomly??
