PC shuts down when playing inZOI

[Scoup]

I have noticed that my pc would just shuts itself down without any error messages. This only happens in inZOI and not any other titles. I have played other titles such as Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones, Cities Skylines 1&2, Sims 4, EA FC25, F1 24, World of Warcraft, Marvel Rivals and none of them causes this issue. At first I thought it was due to overheating but thermals look fine.

Overheating CPU can cause a shutdown of the system to prevent damage. Had this often with an older laptop which cpu cooler did not work properly. What are your system specifications?

PC problem.

How can it be a PC problem when this game is the only game where this problem occurs?

bro it can still be PC problem even if its only this game like what are you on about?

i had an over heating problem. it would only happen in newer games that was graphic and cpu intensive. would shut down intermittently. turns out i needed a better cooling system for my computer that solved the problem.

What I am trying to say that if the PC does not overheat in games with similar or more demanding specs, than I do not think it would be classified as a PC problem.

I have said above i7 13650HX and 4080 and I have undervolted the cpu to not overheat and cranked the fans to run as hard as possible. I am monitoring my temps while playing and there is no overheating issue

i suggest to take it to a computer tech to figure it out

If your PC is initiating an emergency thermal shutdown that is a hardware problem. That should never even be possible if you've got adequate cooling.

The PC is doing that because it can't thermal throttle to manage the current situation and is shutting down to protect your components from being damaged.

Edit: You can check Windows event viewer and it may tell you specifically why it initiated the shutdown.

Did you calculate your power supply? Sounds like your supply was just barely enough and under high performance you have a power shortage. Also can happen many years later, either because you got new components or the supply got worse over years.

Sounds like a overheating problem. I had same issues when i used fan control software from gigabyte. Since i use MSI afterburner, everything is ok.

[AntonioKingsley]

Definitely a hardware issue. Something is overheating when you're playing Inzoi. What I would recommend is:

1. Use some sort of fan control (MSI Afterburner is a really good one.) and set a custom fan curve so it runs harder depending on what temp your GPU/CPU reaches.

2: Lower the settings on your game. It's obviously pushing too hard to run the game so lowering the settings should help.

If those don't work it might be a more serious issue.

It is not always overheat, it could also be a power shortage. Most always write "it is overheat" or "get a better card", but if the system runs normally with 700W but need 800W on heavy performance, it also shuts down on 750W supply.

Overheating usually goes into throttling. This is more likely a PSU problem. Only one game causing this means nothing. Every game has different power strain on your system. Your GPU at 100% usage can still draw different ammounts of power depending on what it's doing, this game is defo one of those that draw more power on gpu. You can try limiting FPS to 30 and see if it stops crashing cause that will lessen the load on your power supply from GPU.

Oh ♥♥♥♥, I just read that OP has a laptop. This might be even motherboard dying from heat. Even if your thermals look fine~ish.

That's your problem. Laptops (with limited continuous-wattage output, plug-in PSUs) and real gaming PCs (desktops usually with a PSU upwards of 800W of continuous power output) are not the same animal, never have been, and never will be. Lower your settings and live with it, or buy and use a real gaming rig built for high-power applications.

Ideally nothing will ever continuously slurp down 800 watts, but Video Games are really weird now. All other tech is getting increasingly more energy efficient even if that's not their stated goal, but game devs aim for the moon every time if you can understand what I'm getting at. Or... Would the culprit be PC Hardware Manufactures specifically? I'd hope not, bad enough the performance gains in newer hardware are all illusions, be pissed silly if the gains were fake AND the hardware sucks down power like a Magnum V8 does Gas the second you floor it.
