Game switches my computer off randomly

[d4nield4lton]

Been having random shutdowns during cut scenes running a high end PC. Particularly frustrating after beat the Stone Wall Cliff Boss for my PC to turn off and have to do it again. Anyone else having this issue? I feel like i have to skip all cut scenes in fear of losing progress. I've never know a game to power my PC down, really odd.

its probably overheating,

turn your computer CPU fan and GPU Fan up to maximum.


if your on a laptop, go get a laptop lapfan.

Are you on the lastest Nvidia drivers ? (latest as non fixed version) : 576.02 ?

If so, search for the fixed one 576.15 (which doesn't appear on released versions or in the nvidia app)

The .02 version has a bug, it doesn't report the gpu temp correctly , cooling staying on standby even at high temp and you might hit the temp limit and then pc crashing (protecting the hardware)

Infos from Nvidia and link to the fix :

Possibly, but seems unlikely, as I've played more demanding games all day and never had this problem, plus it happened in the first cut scene. Fans are at max. Cheers for replying.

Oh OK thanks. I'll check it out. Thanks.

If it's just straight up shutting off, it's almost always heat related.

[Moriendor]

Yup. Heat or a PSU issue. It could be slowly failing or simply not adequate enough to handle the load. It definitely has nothing to do with the game but with the hardware.

[d4nield4lton]

OK thanks everyone. Odd it's just this game. But could be the latest driver bug mentioned.

I have this problem too, just this game and the one of conan, i think is the psu and game optimization as i'm also playing other new games and nothing bad happens. With this game, it reboots at random intervals.

Just happened to me as well, I found the hot fix 576.16 driver gonna try it out. I just built the pc and I’m testing it so I was freaking out a bit. I was watching the temps and they never got to hot to cause a shut down so I think it’s the driver.

The same thing happens to me, just with this game.
My graphics card is AMD... so I don't know...

[ThaaTyyN]

The exact same thing happens to me only with this game, I've been playing Wukong quietly but I play E33 and it shuts off every 3 or 4 hours

[shadowsfm]

I'm also thankful for this thread

Same here. My PC shuts down after ~1 hour of gameplay, sometimes even less. Also shuts down in certain cutscenes: the one at the beginning when you meet the girlfriend and the first cutscene at the camp.

And yeah, it's the only game so far I had this issue with.

I'll probably wait for patches and get some thermal paste for the CPU in the meantime.

[Pasanius96]

Same thing happens to me with amd. only this game too. kinda glad it happens to more people as i was concerned whether my pc is trash lol

[Mr. K]

Just wanted to throw in my two cents that I've been having this issue too.

Ryzen 5 5600 3.5GHz
RX 6650XT
32GB RAM
Windows 10

Been watching my temps while playing using hwinfo and it never goes above 65 for the CPU or 85 for the GPU, I've reached higher temps with other games that never shut my PC off like MH Wilds.

It only happens with this game and seemingly at random but almost always during combat.
