PC turns off while playing DBD

[Kiyommi]

It's not every time but quite often, when I find a match, my monitor goes black as if I turned it off and my mouse, headset and keyboard turn off too. My desktop is on and running with lights and fan on. It's all the add ons (monitor, mouse, keyboard and headset) that turn off for some reason. All other games run just fine but DBD is the only game that causes this. It's not over heated and Power supply is fine. Any fix?

Are you sure the PSU is fine? Cause that really sounds like a PSU problem. I'm not sure why DBD would cause it while other games wouldn't (aside from spaghetti code).

Usually one of these.

1. PSU is not enough power for the PC to run everything.

2. Graphics card is overheating (Bad cooling or maybe the thermal paste is old if you have had the card for a long time as in a few years)

3. too many programs running and the CPU and GPU cant keep up.

4. You overclocked the PC and the OC is not stable.

5. The Graphics card is going bad and need replaced.

I have had the issue with this in the past and #2 was the issue once and #5 was an issue I had with my EVGA 2080ti not long ago and I had to send it back after it was shutting down at only 60 degrees because it was going bad. MOST people however that have this issue, it is caused because of #1 and the PSU is either to weak or going bad itself. I would start there.

It does sound like overheating a lot though, weird. This or gpu problem in general, maybe run some stress tests and check it, idk.
And true, it could be psu issue as well, but it still doesn't explain why only dbd causes it. It sounds like purely electronic malfunction, so exceptions like this are unlikely.

My PC doesn't shut down. But what happens is perhaps worse. It keeps requiring me to update my game. THEN it requires me to vallidate my files. NOW, it says that apearently my steam apps folder is just missing & won't play at all. The thing is, the update in question is from NOVEMBER ! I've updated my game three times now. Complete with file validation every time. Now it won't even play. Any help at ALL, would be much apreciated.

Could it be a bad stick of RAM? Bad Ram has been known to at the very least to Blue screen the computer or force it to restart.

Possibly errors on your hard drive? I haven't heard of this issue before. Try running user benchmark and see how it rates your hard drive.
