Frequent game crashes HELP

[BetwixtTricks]

Is anyone else having issues with constant crashing? Are there any known fixes for the crash issues? I can play for 15 minutes to an hour before the game crashes and my PC restarts. I have already downloaded and installed all system updates, as well as drivers, which did not fix the problem.

I'm running:
Windows 7, 64bit
AMD-fx 8320, 3.5gig 8core
AMD Radeon R9 200 series, 4gig
16gigs of RAM

From what I have played so far, I'm loving Shadow of War, but I'd like to be able to play it in increments larger than 20 minutes...

the only bug that happens is at the beginning of the game when loading the map, fps lowers a lot

[BetwixtTricks]

I'm positive that isn't the only issue. Just now I was able to play through one nemesis mission before the game crashed and my computer restarted. Maybe 15 minutes of playtime before the crash.

if your PC restart aswell when it crashes its overloading your GPU, try lower textures, Having high on textures use around 4gb and ultra almost 8gb..

Yeah, if your PC is restarting, that is almost 100% related to overheating.

I thought about overheating, though the fans are all blowing cool air out of the case. Is it possible that the 650w PSU I have isn't providing enough juice?

i was getting total freezes, what fixed it for me was disabling my cpu overclocks in bios. I also lowered the graphics a bunch just in case, also limited fps to 80 to lessen the load.

tho dispite overclocks seemingly being the issue, heat certainly was not cpu temps were exactly the same as they usually are and cpu usage was only around 40%

gpu usage hit 100% frequently tho.. on my 1070

That is possible, but 650w should be enough. Do you have something to show you the temps you are at when your PC restarts? If not, Speccy is a good free one.

might give you some insight

Most recent crash:
CPU temp 50C
Motherboard temp 41C
GPU Temp 38C

That seems to put overheating out of the question. The error message is event 41, which seems to imply my PSU just doesn't have enough juice... Damn. Thanks all, looks like I'll have to buy a better power supply.

ISSUE RESOLVED:
Looks like the PSU wasn't the issue. Apparently I tweaked some bios settings a while back, and simply resetting the bios back to defaults has since stopped the crashes. Thanks to everyone who responded.

right on!

yea event id 41 will trigger on any forced shutdown i think including but no nessisarily psu failure.
