This game causes my computer to just shut down

[stubby]

Like title said. Running i7-12700F and RTX 4090, with shaders built. The game runs smoothly but I can't help but noticing it maxes my CPU constantly.
After playing 2-3 hours my computer will just shut down completely.

No other game or application does this.

Edit:
For further clarification, my PSU is Platinum rated 1,300W and my temps average around 60C while playing the game, despite my CPU being at 100% usage.

Video games don't crash PC's. Video games don't cause blue screens and video games don't cause over heating, inadequate cooling does.

A conjuction of both actually. If there is some bug causing abnormally high system load then game is an actual stress test for the hardware.

its not an abnormally high system load, when avx2 instruction sets are used extra "turbo" is engaged and so you see higher than non turbo resources. also i still say he run prim95 to test full system if he still wants to solve it.

It's not about AVX2. There is literally a video on YouTube where Joel is standing in a small empty dark room and one of the CPU cores is at 100% load (13th Gen CPU, RTX 4090).

so how does that explain it not being avx2? or even full memory usage?

It is just that - abnormally high CPU usage due to some bug in the code.

Don't listen to idiots that think they know a thing or two about pc's because they aren't.
BSOD can be caused by many things rarely it's hardware fault.
Usually it's bad software like this game, drivers, software collisions etc..
I recently purchased a pc that costs probably much more then these guys cars and got BSOD with this game.
So yeah just search the forum here many people with high end pc's get this.
Of course no other game does that and I have almost 4000 games to choose from,
As a matter of fact this is my first BSOD in the last decade which is a big shame for the game developers.

BSOD is literally that - a hardware problem. Get a clue.

I found your post after having the same issue. The only games that gave me this issue are Hogwarts Legacy and this one. I fixed the problem with Hogwarts Legacy by capping the FPS to 120 and by turning al RTX settings to off inside the ini file. I will try to do the same with this one, but they behave differently:
HL: BSOD
The Last of Us: insta shut down and auto reboot

Don't pay attention to all those people telling you "it is your hardware". It is not. Some games are just bad optimized and that's it.

Yes, your HW is unstable.

Capping framerate and disabling RT is lowering system usage.
So you likely didn't stress test your pc at all.

lmao, no dude, it's always your hardware if the system crashes, like the guy above me says: Capping framerate and lowering settings reduces system power usage and therefor your unstable hardware isn't crashing and is not recieving the heat it would under full load.
Man man man, it's really tiring how people try to justify their expensive hardware by blaming games that supposedly crash their entire system.
It's simply not possible.

A BSOD can indeed be a driver issue that pops up when running a certain game.
A system shutdown however, without any blue screen is NEVER a software issue.
Also, BSOD's while gaming are still very questionable with regard to hardware, as software related blue screens are not necessarily happening when the hardware is under heavy load.

[acowsik]

BSODs usually relate to a hardware or driver issue or it can also be due to instable overclocks. Idk if the OP had any mention of his hardware being overclocked to unstable levels.

As far as complete system shutdown happening, thats either the CPU overheating or as few have already said above... the OCP on the PSU is being triggered.

I have the same GPU as the OP albeit running a higher TDP CPU and despite having a pretty aggressive OC, my system doesn't shutdown. Am running a 1500W PSU in single rail mode to avoid any chance of the 12V rail being overloaded.

I'm having this issue too.

Rtx 3080ti
amd 7800x3d
Corsair 850w gold PSU

I'll be playing for some random amount of time and suddenly everything turns off for a moment and then flips back on but my PC won't boot and no display. I have to turn it off manually and then restart it again.

No other game does this.

I had this issue with my custom fan curve and running regular speed.

My gpu hovers around 80c

I uninstalled the game fed up with this issue, and I haven't gotten to watch my CPU's temps the moment this happens but it seemed to hover at around 80ish as well.

Event viewer isn't catching anything leading up to the shutdown. It just reports critical error unexpected shutdown yadda yadda. Does this mean it's my psu?

This is 100% PSU. It is shutting down due to OCP/OPP that has been tripped and you cannot turn the system back on immediately. You might be overloading the 12V rail which is causing this.

hmm so what's the solution to this? Is it a bad PSU and I need a replacement?

Shutdowns are a sign of insufficient power delivery or overheating.

Except when games cause these. I have adequate cooling for GPU and CPU and for example NSFW Heat causes my PC to just shut down.

Optimization is to blame.
