Pc restarts every 5-15 mins of me playing

[$Boy Red$]

This is gonna be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I apologize. So ever since I downloaded the game my pc restarts after 5-15 mins of me playing. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled the game 4-5 times. I’ve had one good day where I played it no problem after the 2nd uninstall. I have even played other games and I’ve had no problem with them
I’ve asked my brother who is a pc nerd and he doesn’t even know. My pc is nothing insane,
CPU is AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
GPU is Radeon RX 5600 XT
windows 10 and that’s really all I know

Rofl good luck with that. Get a refund and move on

I wanna sell drugs damnit. I should be getting a new cpu soon so we’ll see what happens

Does it restart like, just black screen and boots up again? If that's the case it's very unusual for a software error to cause that with modern operating systems.

It's likely you have a hardware gremlin somewhere that the game is triggering it. I had this kind of thing happen when I had a faulty curve in MSI Afterburner and only one game made the graphics card run at the dodgy frequency.

Yeah I play game freezes for a split second everything goes black then it reboots

idk how good you are with PCs but if it was my computer I would start stress testing it to see where the issue is. Prime95 for the CPU, memtest86 for the ram and furmark for the graphics card. Check temps to see if they are good with aida64. A pure black restart is usually something pretty low level, if you are not even getting a blue screen.

If there is a really short bluescreen that is too fast to read, you might have some luck using an app called BlueScreenView that lets you see what the bluescreen says next time the computer starts. It will either have some info maybe it will help, or if it has nothing it means it can't even write the bluescreen info to your hard drive before it bails out.

Do you get a good play run on cooler days? I once had a computer that I could only use on cool days because it would just insta-turn off when it got too warm.

Had this issue too with an older computer, try this:
- Avoid objects clip other objects (like doors clipping racks)
- Clear paths for NPCs, follow NPC and verify clear paths (e.g. issues with drying racks)
- If NPCs are not working properly, fire and hire. Reassigning doesn't help
- Remove Steam Overlay (and other overlays)
- Try graphic setting on Medium

Have you checked the temps when running the game? Its possible that its overheating and rebooting to protect the system. If that is the case, despite settings in the game, thats more to do with needing to clean your fans or make sure exhaust ports aren't blocked or a space heater isn't near the pc among other situations. Could even indicate an additional fan needing to be added to the PC to sucking cooler air in or blowing hotter air out depending on the bottleneck.

I recently built my new computer and had an issue that sounds similar to yours. Runs for a few minutes, freeze, flash of blue screen, restart. It ended up being an issue with raidport according to Windows Event Viewer. Downloading a firmware update for my SSD solved it. I have a Western Digital SSD and downloaded their Dashboard software.

That I don’t know I haven’t really paid attention to that. I’ve only had one good day where nothing happened.

just adding my random experience in:
if all of your hardware stress testing / benchmarking comes in perfectly, it might also be that your power supply is too weak.
it's easy and common for people to skimp on the power supply, so that the entire PC fails when the graphics card starts drawing more power.

but first really check what other people have said - it is definitely a hardware issue tho. either a faulty graphics card or processor or something else.

Its probably your power supply
