PC Shutdown itself after play Fallout 4
OS:Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU:AMD FX-8350 4.00 GHz
GPU:GeForce GTX 750Ti 2 Gb
RAM:8 Gb

Play it on High setting. Yesterday I play it for a first time about 5 hours but my problem started after about 2 hour playing which my PC shutdown instantly. Then I start the game and play it again for 3 hours with no sight of this problem and then I quit it to got some sleep and guess what. Today I play it and keep getting PC shutdown for no reason around every 10 min in the game(mostly happen during fast travel or loading to next area)

Is anyone got this problem?
My Driver is 358.91 version which is up to date so I don't know why.
please send help if you know how to fix it.

Get a INTEL system. AMD is not good system to play this type of graphical intensive game, I should know, used to own a AMD and had same problems a year ago, after upgrading to a better system using INTEL along with 4GB Video Card + 32GB RAM, been running games without any crashing.

My gf has an AMD phenom II that barely meets the system requirements and she's put in about 20 hours now and hasn't crashed at all.

running fine for me, sounds like maybe a hardware issue. I have had hardware that has been borderline and working fine for everthing else, then a new game comes out and does one thing a little different and it hits that spot in your system that you thought was good but was just a little off. (memory,video,sound, motherboard, whatever) For me it might have been a slight overclock I was running fine for years. I would insist that my machine was fine, then I eventually lower the clock rate and the issue goes away.

It could be anything really (hardware ofr software). I'll just say that I have similar system and it is fine for me. (i7/win7ult/660ti/16gbram) (you did mention 'high', my game defaulted to medium, I thn went into advanced and tweaked up a few things, but not as much as the 'high' settings)

this is def a issue on your end, something is overheating causing the shutdown most likely, check your temps to see if its that.

Exactly what my machine started doing.

Played perfectly fine for 2 days straight. Then yesterday evening started shutting off my computer randomly about every 30 minutes.

Not a hardware issue, spent last night trying to get it to happen in other games. No windows error logs at all related to this...just poof, shut down computer.

I have a water-cooled system, with monitors running I can see. Everything stays in the 25-30C range.

Maybe there is a power issue? Like your power block can't hold 100% working computer (f.e it can hold 95% computer's work but not full, and it starts happen only now cause there was no need in usage before).

Your advice is not helping at all and furthermore has absolutely no basis.

I have a 1200w Platinum power supply, I think at full load it barely uses half of that.

It only happens on my old save. I started a new one earlier this morning and no crashes yet.

There is something in the game logic it doesn't like after you complete a certain quest combo or do something in the game (build too much or many settlements?)

Then how does it shutdown? With no any signs or still does some programme finishing (it could be even half seconds long)?

Overheating and cpu clocks failing is the biggest cause to PCs shutting off during gaming.

What is your EXACT power supply?

Monitor your temps. Make sure they are safe.

Run a stress test on your computer and see if it crashes. CHECK TEMPS BEFORE DOING THIS > ie prime95, OCCT,

If your Pc is shutting down 90%...hell 95% chance it's a problem on your end. I used to have an AMD system and was always getting blue screens. It wasn't the games fault. Was infact my PSU and horrid cooling system, boith of which are things people never talk about when PC specs are involved.

If the CPU is failing the PC will simply freeze and have to be shut down manually.
If its temps, it will shut down instantly similar to power failure.

Get your CPU and GPU Temps to display whilst your playing, in general a shutdown is the CPU reaching it's threshold (max temp) and protecting itself by closing down the system. (Thermal shutdown) The CPU cooling fan may be dirty? Or the fan itself may be slowly failing? Check the fan rpm either in the BIOS or via saoftware, you can generaly set an alarm when the fan falls below a set rpm. The other thing i can think of is a bad thermal compound join between heatsink and CPU.
are you monitoring you cpu/gpu temps usages? are you doing ANYTHING to disscern what might be the cause, or after several hours does your pc just shut down and youre like "well. ♥♥♥♥ it. the game is surely the problem and people on steams forums will have the answer"?
