PC shuts down when I start the first descandant
Don't know what to do anymore, played till yesterday, then the pc shut down and rebooted mid game. Since then I can't start the game without the pc shutting off.

Hardware
10600KF
3080ti
Mainboard: asus rog strix b460-f gaming
650W PSU

updated all the available drivers no changes.
Every other game works perfectly also run a 10 hour extreme stress test with OCCT, everything perfect, but not with first descandant. Thought that easy anti cheat would cause this tried other games with EAC and they work.
Windows event log shows nothing, first thought RAM however ran memtest86 and no errors.

I guess either heating issue with graphic card or outtage because your power supply is too low.

I calculated for nvidia 3080 ti and intel 10600kf . You need at least 632 W. If you have some harddrives, fans etc. and getting your system under pressure, it might shut down. I would at least go to a 800 W

650W PSU you might not have enough watts to run it

182 W cpu
350 W GPU
532 W total. thats not including every thing else. you need to turn down GPU or beef up PSU

I was having that problem with my GPU mine was the power connector to my 4090 the sense pins where not making contact. I have mine in a riser so i was able to put the power strait up and down. maybe check your connectors but I know that 650 w is at its limit

disable intel turbo boost from your bios it should be the cause (like in many other titles before... google it) also it should decrease your pc overall power consumption...

ps: maybe try cleaning your psu (turn it off and blow in it at the very least) i remember a friend psu caught fire cuz he never cleaned it and it had become a gloryfied dustblock before catching fire ahahah but no joke once at school a burned insect was shortcircuiting the motherboard ahahahah

(btw there is a 90% chance that your motherboard manufacturer went wild with the voltage regulation for the sake of "stability" causing even more power draw maybe setting it at 1.25V is enough. --> if not confident don't do this and just try disabling intel turbo boost)

How did you get to 532W? I used bequiet https://www.bequiet.com/de/psucalculator with

{"cpu":2,"cpu_socket":106,"cpu_model":8124,"gpu":[14,0,0,0],"gpu_model":[8167,0,0,0],"gpu_count":0,"ram":0,"sata":0,"pata":0,"m2":0,"fan":0,"wk":0,"usb31":0,"overclock":null}

It told me you need 632 W minimum, as I described in my post above.

makes sense his PL2 could be at over 200w for all we know.

that is a bios that will fix any "asus optimized setting" that came with the board its a new bios that turns the power down on Intel CPU's If you dont trust my link just search asus rog strix b460-f gaming bios update

Is downgrading your power really your way to go, or presented as temporary sollution till new supply? I would rather buy a new supply, since after years the supply also goes down. So it might become an endless downgrading. Only people who are really cheap would save money on power supply and I guess someone buying a 3080 TI is not a poor beggar.

yeah correct. he needs a new PSU for sure, and the Bios update. I believe when that PSU finally goes out, and it will fast. it could take the entire computer with it. In no way am I saying not to replace that PSU. you have to.

shutting down like that is either heat or PSU.

i would put my bet on the PSU.

Has already been confirmed by 3 people that it is the PSU. It is not strong enough under pressure to be supported by 650W .
brother it's your psu please upgrade it it's not enough to handle the demand

Or can't handle the wattage increase which is my guess. I used to be on a UPS and it would trip the UPS when I started gaming.

Get a 1k watt and GG, proly never have to worry about wattage again.
Check the event viewer, especially critical errors.
