FO4 crashing PC

[munchman347]

I have the 'recommended' level of PC hardware and play high demand games with no problems. FO4 starts fine, but as soon as I get to the mirror scene my PC restarts. Five times in a row, so it's not a one time glitch. Others say the Oculus Rift works with this VR version, is there a fix for this?

The game's crap off the shelf they never finished it properly but modders did. If you want to play it how it should have been released then you have to mod it. I found Wabbajack Fallout 4 essentials by Gingas the best experience and I've played it since it was released. You just download Wabbajack and follow the yellow brick road it's not hard though you will need all the DLC's (very cheap now I think) and a Nexus download subscription so everything downloads and installs automatically (worth the 5 bucks) or you will have to do it manually and there are a lot of mods. I think I also saw instructions for Oculus but not sure about the Rift you can ping Gingas online and she is usually helpful if you have problems but you have to follow all of her instructions otherwise you're on you own. Also you can try modding it yourself but either way you have to mod it to make it work properly. GL

A PC restarting while playing demanding games is virtually always hardware issues. That mirror scene is demanding. I can see that you've played Alyx, which is maybe the most demanding game with the way is scales to use all your hardware... so if you had an issue, it should show up there.

BUT it's possible your PSU as degraded since you played that, or perhaps you had an upgrade? Anyway, check your windows event logs. (Event viewer > windows logs > system). Look around the time of your crashes and see if anything sticks out as the cause, say GPU driver failures or things like that.

Some testing you can do:
1) It would be a good idea to play Alyx again, make sure the game has NO command line arguements (so that the auto-res is on), and play the train crash scene. That should trip your PSU safety feature if you have developed an issue

2) Force a very low SS value, like 0.5, and make SURE it's applied. See if Fallout still crashes your system. If it doesn't then the restart is a power draw issue.
