When I start it, my PC restarts.
I changed the game settings and my PC just kept restarting. Now, every time I start my PC, it always restarts.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Sounds like a PC issue. My PC used to restart when it was overheated

Do you have any power supply issues?

And with "it always restarts" you mean your PC?
Can it be that you interrupted some Updates of your Operating-System?
Try to shut down your Pc entierly, unplug it, wait a while, then plug it in again and boot it up.
Or boot it into safe-mode. (just to see if you can boot it up)

bad harddrive sector, bad graphic card , the list goes on.

you didn't leave any information other then asking ppl to guess

Okay, sorry, I have an RTX 4090, i14900k, 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM, and 850Watts.
All games run fine except this one. I'll try reinstalling.

Ah. so it just makes a PC restart when you try to boot up the Game.

Question, do you have something like HWInfo64 or HWMonitor or something else to check your Core-Temperatures?

Games tend to push up the Heat in the CPU by the first Game-Start (and after every Graphic-Card-Update), and Intel Cores have a security Messurement (Thermal-Throttling) at 100°C.
Lots of Games react very weird when the CPU gets Thermal-Throttled during Shader-Rendering Processes.

Do you know how hot your CPU can go under full Load?

Yes, I have the CPU limited to 70C.

You mean your Thermal-Throttle will already kick in when it reaches 70°C?

The Goal should be to never get a Thermal-Throttle.
I have an i9-14900k as well, but the limit is its default (100°C), with the MPG Coreliquid D360 (Cooler) tho, the CPU never went higher than max. 80°C no matter how much Load it had to process.
But before i had that Cooling solution i was constantly reaching the Thermal-Throttle, and had a few troubles with certain Games,.. running into the Error-Message "Out of Video-Memmory..." when the Thermal-Throttle kicked in during Shader-Processing and it crashed the Games.

Look at my stats, this happens in the intro after a complete block, everything seems to be fine.
Even your rig has more common sense than you. Damn.

Take the hint, man, stop trying. Just refund and get a better game, like Tsushima.

Well an Intro Video does not do much anyway.
The question is more what it is doing when the Shader rendering starts. In your Picture it says that the Temperature is already on 61°C in the Intro. Does it process shaders in that moment already?

What is your PCs idle Temperature?

And i dont know what BIOS you have, but when i take the on i have as an example.. the MSI BIOS,
to limit the CPU with the old cooling system,.. i use the Light-Load-Control Modes
It was, when selecting "Intel Cooler tuning" set on PL1 and Pl2 to 253 W and Ampere to 307 A
the LLC was on (Auto) and somehow thought Mode 16 would be good.
Setting LLC to a lower Mode, i use Mode 12, was an easy temperature Fix (with the old cooling)... but it still went overboard when the Intel startet to boost a lot for rare tasks as video-rendering in video editing software.

As i said.. the goal is to not get a Thermal-Throttling, cause this Thermal-Throttling is basicly like hitting the breaks on a car. It might make the thing not go over the limit, but the reduction "hit" is hard to accomplish this,..
and certain Games (Shader-Rendering) seem to not know what to do when it happens,.. wouldnt wonder if the Games in their Code then think that the hardware was "not good enough".

Sounds like your PSU is struggling, what's the brand of your PSU? I suggest get a minimum of 1000W for 4090s
