computer makes a wierd noise restarts while playing

[mrp8196]

I 'll be playing along and all off a sudden a strange noise and the Pc restarts so damn annoying

[InstableMonster]

Try verifying the files, updating drivers

Could it be overheating?

What kind of strange noise? You'll need to describe it. Do you think it sounds electrical in nature, like a whine or buzzing, a hairdryer like noise, or something that sound more like a switch flicking?

Oh, and how old is your computer? What PSU wattage, CPU and GPU are you using?

[Kuthuwu]

Can you define the noise, and where its coming from? Is it a noise from the game itself like it comes from your headset, or is it a sound your computer itself makes. What does it sound like? Is it more of a grinding sound, clicking sound, perhaps a bit of a whining sound? Its really difficult to identify the problem without details.

The game seems to want to kill CPUs. Ironically I think i just fixed an issue by opening task manager and setting the CPU priority for this game to below normal and it seems to have fixed my issues with random crashes in cites and hard game lock ups.

two regular game crashes . I have not been able to get any progress cause of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crashes

I agree with the posters, try to describe the noise itself and it help everyone guess. This game has awful optimization so it might be overheating your system(which would explain the restart). Usually an out of Ram or a sufficient crash causes a bluescreen error. If it's shutting down without any message it's likely temperature safety controls or some just plain gremlin software conflict.

In fact speaking of that, what else is generally running when you run this game? I recently got clued into a driver outdated(like....12 years outdated) when Deep Rock Galactic would crash 2 other proggrams along with it. So it's not off the table.

Weird. Do you mind if I ask what cooler and CPU are you using?

Something in your computer is probably overheating, or your PSU doesn't have enough capacity to supply the load your card and CPU are under during play.

That's what I suspect too - I believe this is probably the #1 issue.

PSU dying
Fans spinning out of control due to overheating
you not capping your framerate, causing the above

its hard to tell

Sounds likely. You can use CPUID HWMonitor to monitor your computer's temperatures whilst playing the game -- that way you'll be able to pin down whether or not its the GPU or the CPU that's getting too hot. With your GPU it can often be just turning up the fans or undervolting the GPU.

And since it's on the floor, have you cleaned the fan filters lately (if its a positive pressure case) or cleaned its interior with dry compressed air? (I'm guilty of the former a few times - it was just hotter than usual though) If you can, don't place your system unit on the floor, as the floor collects and gathers the most dust --- had to have this conversation with my brother after he fried the GPU I gifted him one time.

The desk is simple flat desk. at least it won't run the risk of fall damage. Actually its on a rug. Worse though is the nearby power outlet is shot. So its getting double surge protected.
