PC shutdown during loading screen

[Wald4tler]

My Pc shuts down and do a restart if im starting foundations.
The loading screen is there for a few seconds and then my pc shuts down. I ve played foundations a few hours before and everything was ok.
This problem cames up after a month not playing.

This is most likely a hardware issue. It sounds a lot like your cpu is overheating. If you don't already have a tool to gauge temperatures you could use something like HWMonitor: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

you can keep an eye on it while launching foundation to see what the temperatures do to rule out or confirm the issue.
Ideally the temps should stay below 70C/154F, most cpus will trigger a shut down at 100C/212F.

If overheating is the issue a proper cleaning might be all you need, but i do mean a PROPER cleaning. Not just some compressed air into the intake/exhaust. Take it to a professional if you are not sure how or not comfortable opening up your PC.

If your temps stay good I still suggest you have a professional diagnose the problem.

Ok! i will try this. But every other game runs fine. This problem comes up only by starting foundation. And a month ago everything was fine.

the other games you have been playing might put less load on your system for a shorter duration. and it is possible that the dust particle that broke the camels back ended up in your pc during that month.

please note i'm just making an educated guess with the limited info available.
whatever the case it is extremely unlikely that the game is the direct cause of the shutdown/restart, so even if it doesn't seem to be heat it would be wise to let an expert take a closer look.
