[Kaynos]

Video card is a GTX 770

I had that problem with Tomb Raider. It would turn my computer off every time it got to the main menu. A few weeks later, my PSU blew out. I got a new one and haven't had that problem since.

Lets put it this way a game cant turn off your computer so its a hardware problem on your end.

[DonTheDon]

Hate to say it, but its 99% hardware. A 'bug' would not force your PC to shut down, no matter how crazy. Something is about to go on your Rig buddy. I feel for ya

[Ceilnguy]

if your computer turns off...then it most likely IS a heat issue

Open your computer and hand clean the dust out. Then go into your settings and turn your fan settings up. If it still crashes then you're having a hardware issue.

It's your power supply. I've seen this several times. You need to match the PSU's rail with the video card and make sure that rail has enough juice. Today, you should probably have a single rail PSU so you just need to check that it supplies enough amps. Mine is a dual rail, but I made sure it supported my video card.

If you have a single rail PSU, then you'll need to look on your PSU and look at how many amps it can deliver. You'll need at least 20amps just for your video card, so the actual value on the PSU should be higher to also support your other devices. 770 requires 250W. That's 21 amps on 12v. If you're at or below 21 amps, you'll need a dual rail PSU or get a single rail PSU with around 40amps an the 12V rail. Your video card has a power connector, right? That's for the second rail.

Take a look at the 12V rail. Says 40A. That's more than enough for your video card. That PSU might be a little on the pricy side (because it's modular), but it's just an example. You can get much cheaper ones, but you need to know what rails suppy what and make sure you know that you have enough juice for each device.

So that's your simplest bet. Find a PSU with 30 to 40A or more on the 12V rail.

It's not a hardware issue. There are thousands of complaints in this forum about bugs with this game.

If the machine turns off, it's a hardware issue.

This.

I had the same issue with my old pentium 4 after I put a 7950gt in it. My psu was 300 watts and I think the video card need 350. I was only 15 at the time and didn't know much about computers. I had a Dell and bought the video card upgrade that Dell reccommended for my computer. After a couple months, my PC started shutting itself down while gaming and eventually my PSU blew out. Luckily it was still under warranty.

It COULD also be a heat issue, but I have a gtx 770 too and it has always performed at perfectly stable temps. I have EVGA brand which came with the precision x software that allows me to monitor the video card temps and I have never seen anything alarming.

I've had a game crash to the point where I had to reboot (The forest), never had a problem with it straight turning off. though I do avoid reference gpu coolers like the plague, always have a after market cpu cooler and avoid psu's made by anyone but corsair or cooler master

[Twist]

If it was software related there would be BSODs, but you describe it as the computer turning off by itself. There are only three options, and they are hardware related, no matter how much you reject reality and substitute your own.

A) PSU is failing.
B) PSU is too weak to crank out enough juice for the GPU when maxing it out, or close to maxing it.
C) Overheating.

The most logical conclusion based upon your description is (A. Sorry, bud.

Posts like these are why I cringe at the thought of the steam forums...

[Sir_Chester]

I had that happen with all games, then my PSU died.

[AquaKingMan]

It is a PSU issue probably not powerful enough for you 770

[Rickounet]

All ur driver is ok ?
