Combat forces my computer to reboot

[Starlight]

Whenever I am in combat, and only in combat, my computer will randomly switch off and then reboot itself. I really enjoy this game but this is literally making it impossible to progress. Anyone else deal with something similar that could offer me some advice?

I am not a tech expert, but could be a ram issue, a power issue or a heat issue(the 2 last ones are the most likely).
If you are using an old setup with near minimum requirements, it is possible that some of your hardware has degraded to the point that it can no longer handle the strain.

It's not that as I've played far more graphically intensive games with no issue. I've even recently installed a new CPU cooler and extra RAM.

Graphically intensive is not always what causes issues. Unity games in general puts a different kind of pressure on a setup. Check your drivers just to be sure. And as I said, it is quite possible that it is a PSU issue. Your system might lack power when it tries to do certain things, and this can cause it to shut down.

In some cases if your GPU is strong, but something else is faulty, a game that mainly uses your GPU will not have many issues, while a game that heavily uses other components(like the CPU or RAM) might cause enough "stress" to trigger a shutdown if the PSU cant sustain your components. Are you sure that your new cooler and extra ram havent made your setup go beyond what your PSU can handle?
