KCD restarting my pc

[Miks04]

Hey, is there enyone else here who just cant play the game?
I have a R 5 7600 and RX 6800 and the game runs very well on high settings (around 90 fps with FSR on quality) until, without any warning, my PC just restarts. + after restart I can access bios, but when windows loads the screen is black and i have to kill my PC the button way.
I just wanted to reach out to know if anyone else is having the same problem. Other games run fine and Im 99% sure its not a PSU problem or anything else regarding my PC.
Maybe the 3 months old AMD drivers are the culprit?

This don't mean ♥♥♥♥. This is so over used and completely wrong. Other game running fine doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. That's not how PC gaming works.

Fact is yes something is wrong with ur system. PC restarting from playing a game even if it's just one. Should be a red flag telling u something ain't right with ur system..

U even mentioned having to hard reset ur PC using the button. That is a definite sign something is wrong with ur system. Can be as simple as outdated drivers

U mention 2 red flags that signal a rig issue. One is a dead giveaway the hard reset

Do u have ur drivers updated. Kcd2 at least for Nvidia had driver support day of launch

Me too, I give up, going back to kcd1, I have:

Processor ManufacturerIntel Core i7-6700
Graphics Card: GPU ManufacturerAMD Radeon RX 6600
Memory: 32 GB RAM

Got heating issue, fix that: got cooler, from 80c to now around 50-60c
Thought ssd had a problem, got a new ssd.
Bench my cpu for 30 minutes no problem. Bench ram: NO problem. Bench gpu: no PROBLEM. Bench PSU: NO PROBLEM.

I even did a clean install of amd driver. Got into safe mode, uninstall the drive using DDU. Back to window, install the adreneline driver.
So the problem lies with KCD2 not optimized for amd cards. Something in the code when trigger ♥♥♥♥ the system and send it to restart!

Did any of you bother to check windows event viewer?

Also have AMD; R 7700x and RX 6900, running the game on Ultra settings in 4k without issues with the last drivers from November (version 24.12.1). 68 hours in, not a single crash.

Yeah I checked it MULTIPLE times yeah? For 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ days yeah? It said miscelenious issue, but I bench my GPU, if it does have it issue, wouldn't that happen in my 1 hour bench???

Ok I calm down, thank you for the suggestion, I have check it again, carefully.

The issue is Kernel-Power. The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

I will further investigate

BTw: my gig is 1 650w psu. Rx 6600, 2 hard drive, 1 SSD

I think the issue lies with my motherboard because the bios is so old, that it's currently incompatible with the window new updates that this game uses. My motherboard is a 250m-turf-gaming from Gigabyte. The last bios update was in 2018.

I rule out the PSU because using occt, I bench it again for 15 minutes, full power, runs like a dream.

Running a game will never shut down your RIG. It is purely your system that has the issue, not the software...

Yea I know right? It’s so annoying how devs refuse to optimize games for 10 year old quad core CPUs and budget Radeon cards. 😭😭😭

I have this exact same problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

I fixed my problem, I found out an 8-pin pcie that connected to my motherboard was loose, when it's not using much power or in using my old rx 560 which doesn't demand so much power, it was fine.

So after properly connecting the wire, everything works like a dream, the part the used to sent my pc restarting(after autosave number 10: Have breakfast with everyone), now runs smoothly without a problem.

Listin to the lads, if you're pc having critical error number 41: Kernel-power, it's a hardware problem, your rig have a problem.

This problem took me 5 days to troubleshoot and 8 months to fix HOLY ♥♥♥♥

Another problem was surprisingly enough: the MSI afterburner, which mf, allowed my GPU to reach a clock speed of 2684Mhz, which is insane. The boost clock recommended by the retailer is only 2491Mhz.

After uninstalling MSI afterburner, I went into my number 1 crash test savefile(after autosave number 10: Have breakfast with everyone), test and it ran for 5 minutes without breaking a sweat

Im having my pc crash after 20min playtime every single time, does anyone have a fix yet ? I’m on. 5600g, 6650xt, 24gb ram and NVmE, it was working really good the first 10 hours then it went downhill
