My PC keeps crashing when I launch CS2

[Jean Pierre Polnareff]

Hi fellas, I've been struggling with this issue for the last couple weeks.

At first, my pc started shutting down randomly after swtiching from CT side to T side and sometimes after finishing a game. Temp checked, not a high temp issue. Drivers reinstalled, I even formatted my entire pc and changed windows hoping that the issue might be solved. But now I can't even open the game, as soon as it ends the main screen video it restarts my pc.

PD: This only happens with CS2, I can play any other game without any issues, but CS2

PD2: I raised a couple steam support tickets but they closed both tickets and no replies at all.

Has anyone else been experiencing similar issues with the game? Idk what else to try

Its the CPU issue 100 % .
How I know that ?
I set my lighting green / yellow / red on PC hardware to control CPU temperature .
Under 40 Celsius Green / 40 -60 Yellow / above 60 Red .
Turns out that animation on start / half match / end goes every time RED for few seconds .

Cap your FPS in Nvidia settings , yes it will costs little performance , but it will save you from
crashing .
In my case 150 FPS for 144 Hz monitor . If your PC can't achieve stable FPS , go lower value .

This is super normal on my 7800x3d, my temps are always ''high''

Yup for AMD , but on Intel with 400 FPS by default it going crazy hot , and I dont like it .
