PC Crashing in game

[theBanditt]

When I play Phasmophobia my PC will do a power cycle and completely restart the computer. It's completely random when this happens, as it usually occurs in the 2nd-4th game. I haven't seen anyone with a similar issue and I can't figure out what's causing it. Any help?

If you're playing on laptop that's why especially if you don't have anything to let the temperature cooldown i suggest lowering texture quality if you're on laptop as it might make you crash if your laptop goes too high in temperature this would explain why it happens after a few games and not earlier as the temperature is rising not instantly

I'm on desktop, but yeah. I'll try lowering graphics and see if that helps.

This happens to me, but I cant even get into the main menu. As soon as I launch the game my PC shuts down and boots back up again. I've tryed to verify files, but no help...

For anyone else looking at this thread with a similar issue I can think of one possible problem, at the moment, for this specific problem. It is possible that for some reason Phasmophobia draws a lot of power from the system and if the PSU isn't sufficient enough it could force a restart from too much power being drawn.

Ive just reinstalled the game and it seems to fix it, but the past two updates they've done have caused this issue for me. So ive reinstalled the game twice now.

PC applications cannot cause PC crashes since Windows XP, unless it is a fine made virus, just for such purpose.
When PC crashes after an app interaction, you should look these three possible ways:
1) Driver level issue - Newer or older drivers may contain certain issues, associated with things the app uses. Try upgrading or downgrading your drivers
2) Hardware issue. Damage, overheat, manufacturing defect.
3) App is using something, that has driver/hardware-side bug or issue, that wasn't addressed by makers of them - Still, app is not to be blamed for that.
I had a videocard that was BSOD'ing my PC when some app used Phong shader effect. The only 2 ways of fixing the issue where either downgrading driver version to a very old one, or disabling the Phong effect completely.

I got the same issue. PC just shuts off and restarts after playing 4-5 games. Happened only after this patch.
