Shuts down PC

[KnownPudding]

It doesn't crash but my pc does a shut down after a while when playing. The game itself runs pretty hot in the GPU and I was watching temps. Sometimes it creeps up to about 80 C out of nowhere. I tried other games and its fine so I'm not sure whats happening. I limited the frame rate and lowered the graphics to no change.

I have 3080 GPU, i9-10900KF CPU

Update: completely closing iCue fixed it for me

Killed my PC. Video went black after 5 minutes into the game. Had to reset the PC. Now I only get a blue screen on boot. Looks like I’m going to have to recover the OS. :(

what does the BSoD say?

I got several different messages from codestop to inv-irql.
However my computer tried to repair several times. Sometimes it would even come up to the logon screen only to bluescreen a minute later saying it needed to restart. Shut it completely down for about an hour. Turn it back on and Windows came up with a screen saying it could try to recover from a previous version.

After about a half hour of "repairing" finally came up with the logon. Working now so far, thank the Microsoft Gods. Windows able to figure out how to recover itself.

Just had to give it some time. Not keen on trying to run RT again though.

while i didn't experience any crashes, slowdowns or the like
i can see my temps getting fairly high, even higher than when playing games like Starfield or Cyberpunk
i9, 3070 (playing maxed out in 1080p)
frankly this might be the game that seems to tax my hardware the most?

yeah Unity is known for running hot on nVidia cards

Glad you got back into windows, sounds like the shutdown corrupted your graphics drivers and possibly something else. Make sure to do a DDU and reinstall from fresh.

If you do try RT again turn off all other programs, from the information I have seen here the shut downs are due to Unity, nVidia graphics cards on newish drivers and running programs that draw high power like iCue. That sort of combination seems to cause fail safes on some PSUs

Well just happened to me. Out of nowhere, had about 15 hours playtime. Wasn't long after I restarted the game. Was in that abandoned hulk mission with the crazy mechanicus servitors.

It's a hot day but my PC is nowhere near overheated, GPU & CPU were in the 50's to 60's, graphics were set to pretty low to avoid overheating, was in a window, no vsync.

Got the rectangular checkerboard pattern and bam, hard reset. Crash/debug info says nothing more than it just being a typical Nvidia driver crash.

Thankfully it appears no permanent damage and windows rebooted normally.

I'm guessing it's typical unity ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, even on the low settings it's as intensive as starfield or cyberpunk. I'm certain this has nothing to do with the hardware.

That is the computer shutting down since the cpu is about to melt down

I figured it out, my prebuilt PC from maingear had some faulty ram timings. XMP was crashing my pc not just in this game but eventually manifested itself to freezing on the desktop with nothing happening.

Putting the ram to 5200mhz instead of 6000 fixed the issue. I advise anyone with stability issues to check the bios for xmp and tune it and see if it fixes it.

PC shutting down can have multiple issues:
- automatic shutdown because of overheating: you can check temps with MSI Afterburner for cpu, gpu too see if any get's too high, depending on the gpu, cpu. The new intels, AMDs are build to run on 100°C / 95°C and throttling after reaching that, don't know the limits for gpus

- psu issue: game pressures gpu, cpu too much and psu is to weak to support the load and shuts down. Games taxes cpu / gpu differently. For example Cyberjunk taxes my system only for 30-40% cpu, 50% gpu on 60fps limit with a i9-13900k + RTX4080 but another game can easily hit 80%+ for no visible reason just because it's build crappy and if it gets to high your pc shuts down.

For example i tried to run my new i9-13900k on my older psu with 750W and only 1x 8pin cpu cable but the mainboard wanted 2x 8pin cables. I could start the pc, even run cyberjunk on max details with the mentioned above 30-40% cpu / 50% gpu usage on ultra + RT Overdrive but as soon as i tried to move files from c: to d: the cpu went above 60-70% usage and bam shutdown. Bought new PSU with all required cables and problem gone.^^

There are also other issues related to PSU, for example depending how old your psu is it can have a too low ampere on the 12V lines. Old psu's have something like 32A on 2x 12V lines and newer psus have 4 lines each 56 ampere. Again, the pc could crash right at the start or you can start but as soon as something draws too much power -> shutdown.

There are benchmark tools to stress test your system load like OCCT which can run cpu+gpu at 100%, if that works your psu power support is alright.

So the driver crashed, but you somehow blame the game?

If the GPU driver crashes there're only 2 possible reasons: a bug in the driver (downgrade to v537, new nVidia drivers have stability issues), or a hardware issue (that checkboard pattern you mention is a typical symptom of VRAM failing).

Well the game is what is running on the driver, but I suppose you are right in a way, I can't be sure if the game crashed the driver, or the driver just crashed spontaneously on it's own. I was considering downgrading the drivers last night so yea I'll probably do that.

I considered hardware fail, game wasn't smashing the GPU, but that could be the case. Or it could be a symptom of the driver crash. Obviously, I hope it's not a hardware fail. Just in time for Nvidia 4xxx Supers to come out and 2 months after the warranty on my 3080 expires

The funny thing for me was, I played Starfield in that first bigger city, my GPU usage was like 90%-95%... but the temps on my Nvidia 3080 where stable around 50-60c. I ran 1080p 60fps max settings, it ran fluid, no frame drops.

i7 11700
4060ti
ddr4 2x8 3600 16/20/20

The first time I started the game, my computer rebooted, the settings in the game, etc. did not affect this.
Temperatures, etc. are always normal, but I remembered that I overclocked the RAM
My basic XMP 3000 18/22/22
On it the game stopped crashing and reboot.
This is strange because I passed all the stress tests including memtest5, but apparently the optimization of rogue trader (unity) takes much more than these tests.
All other games work well. So I adjusted the timings to the xmp level, 3600 18/22/22 leaving the frequency in place and the game stopped crashing and restarting the computer.
Maybe it will help someone

i7 12700k - no overeclock
Geforce 3060 12GB
DDR5 32 GB
Win 10

My computer rebooted a few times, only in this game. I don't have any problem with other games. I noticed the case was pretty hot, and installed a lateral pci fan. This helped, the computer doesn't reboot anymore, but its still hot. I'm trying now to lower video settings in the game. All drivers updated. This game needs a fix urgently. Many people are having this problem and its not their computer's fault.

If your computer overheats when under heavy load, then your cooling is inadequate. It is true this game could be better optimized, but that doesn't change the fact that your cooling can't keep up with the hardware you've placed in your case.
