Shuts down during game

Every time I launch PZ, I get as far as the first indie stone logo appearing before my computer shuts down. Can anyone offer any suggestions? That is very unusual, generally PZ isnt really able to cause anything like that.

Can you share your logs. Sure thing logs. I've also recorded very shoddily with my phone the crash as it happens. I don't see the temps hit but you can just see them start to hit 86 - 95 degrees before it shuts down at the mark. Can I ask if you have overclocked your processor?

Or if your PC has a good enough power supply, or whether it is faulty, since all of these could cause a crash. Put it to all your cores and max power. Or you can use CPU-Z to do a stress test too.

Heat is the enemy of electronics and both your graphics card and processor have thermal protection built in. If they get too hot, they throttle back to keep temperature under control.

If you can, have the monitor software open on another screen so you can keep an eye on temperatures. If not, both of these log the maximum temperature so make a note of your existing max and check it when you boot your computer again. If your system is running hot, turn it off at the wall, remove the case and give it a good clean. Remove as much dust and debris as possible and make sure all system fans are in good condition and can spin freely.

Turn your computer on while leaving the case off and check all fans are spinning. If the computer still gets too hot and crashes, consider upgrading your cooling. Start with case fans as they are the cheapest and easiest to install. Then upgrade the processor heatsink and fan if you have to. The other key requirement for gaming is enough power to drive your graphics card.

If you have installed a new PSU or new graphics card or your power supply is getting on a bit, the issue could be insufficient power. Enermax has an excellent power supply calculator that tells you exactly how much wattage you need to run your system.
