PC restarting when playing

[Konrad]

Hi

I play Witcher 3 from yesterday, and sadly my PC restart itself after less than 30min. Where can be problem? That never happen to me in any other games. I found some advice that can be faulty PSU, but if that's true, problem shoud appear in every AAA game, and that's not happen.
RTX 2060
ryzen 5 2600X
PSU 500W

Just because is a AAA game doesn't mean ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If you have a cheapo PSU do you a favour and get a decent certified one.

It can still be a damaged or weak PSU. Doesnt matter if it only happens while playing TW3.

First things first :

Open cmd with Admin Rights an enter "wmic RecoverOS set AutoReboot = False".
That will disable the automatic restart after a crash. If you still get no BS, its most likely your Ram or PSU.

- Temps of GPU and CPU while playing

A video game in and of itself can not make your computer restart. Its literally an impossibility. There is no programming in any game that can cause your computer to restart. There is no bug, glitch nor can the video game crashing cause your computer to restart.


the absolute bottom line only way a video game causes your computer to restart. Is playing the video game close or over your system specs can over working your system. And your system shutsdown or restarts to protect itself. Not because of the game or any programming in said game but because your system is being over worked running said game.


It could be anything ranging from your computer was to hot, faulty hardware, it could even be because your computer is dusty and needs to be cleaned out. And others.



You need to look at your system the solution to your problem is with your system.

PC restarting wouldn't be the game. The posts above say it all.

Yep, probably PSU, 500w is a bit low as for an RTX. Might also be RAM

I followed Schrute_Farms_B&B advice and I disable automatic restart, after that I played over 1H session without any issue. Maybe that was luck but that's my longest session so far.

Cpu temperature when playing is 70 - 75C
PSU - Aerocool Integrator 500W

And one interesting thing, when I used speccy program to check CPU temperature, it showed me 101C without run any game. Ryzen master and HWiNFO show same temperature, thats mean about 70C when playing, 40 - 45C normal work.

101 celcius is 213.8 fahrenheit your computer is melting!!!!

Probably a good idea to figure out which one is correct. Find out the reason your having different computer temps.

Basically, I can feel when computer is warm. Speccy showing over 100 degrees even when computer is cold. That's mean Speccy is wrong but I don't know why.

Anyway PC restart again, even with auto restart disable, so that is faulty PSU probably.

I just check out, and Speccy have problem with Ryzen CPU readings.

btw a computer at full load meaning running at max shouldnt rise much above 80 c you say its at 70 -75.

I wouldnt say your comfortably under safe temps.

[Konrad]

Maybe not, but still not supposed to restart PC anyway. Thats happen after reach 95C.

Try this You already did one of the steps

Basically instead of restarting you will get a blue screen . Should tell you the cause your computer is crapping out.


Then you can see what the internet says about how to fix what it says the problem is. if you yourself dont know.

Problem is I disabled auto restart, but PC restart anyway. So, I believe PSU is faulty. I got no blue screen at all

I turned off Nvidia HairWorks, and that fixed a problem... Thank You all for help anyway.

Still i think you should change the psu.
