    Question Apex Legends Restarts my PC

    My friend recently built his PC and the first thing he did was install apex. Once he started loading into a game, the computer would shut off and restart.

    [SOLVED] EVGA 1080TI SC II artifacts crash, I've RMA'd 5 times now...

Even with the memory underclocked, I still end up with crashes later. Just more game time at best. I'm on my 5th 1080ti via RMA. My PSU...
