Computer randomly restarts when I play PUBG.

[Tequa]

Hello, sometimes when I play PUBG my computer just lose the connection to the TV, then shuts down. When it restarts itself after around 10 seconds or more. It beeps a few times while starting. And I can play again.. It's not a heat Issue, I've looked with both HWmonitor and Speccy. Today, it's been a pain in the a**.. It used to happen like once a week or something like that, I paid no attention to it since I got an SSD.. doesn't affect me that much. But today, it happend three times. It's kind of annoying by now.

Specc:
Asus B53m-E MOBO.
8GB DDR3
RX 580 8GB
i5 4460
Corsair CX600 (PSU)

I have NO idea what could be the problem. Graphics card is rather new ( since may ) and has been working like a charm. CPU has been working like a charm aswell..

Thank you everyone in advance for reading and taking your time to help me out.

I've been checking google and it seemes that other people have had the same problem with just THIS game as well. It's /NOT/ heavy load. Could the game be that badly optimized that it could shut down my whole PC when the game crashes? Because it crashed a few times today as well, without shutting the PC off.

Sorry - I don't have a solution. I am here to report the same basic thing. It started for me the day of the update on 8/3 i think it was. Never had this problem before and have been playing PUBG for about a month now. Since that update, it has started happening every 3 to 4 games for me. Doesn't seem to happen for any other games. Computer just fully shuts off right in the middle of the game. Downloaded afterburner and have been running that and nothing looks to be out of wack. Temperature of GPU and CPU seem fine. I swapped out the graphics card and had the example same issue, so I know its not the GPU. If anyone has any advice - that would be amazing!!

I have:
i7 3.20GHz
GTX 970
18 GB RAM
1200W PSU

It just happens with this game. I usually play all other games on ultra or highest settings without a problem. I made sure all drivers were up to date.

My PC:
cpu: I7-4770
motherboard: z87 sabertooth
Heatsink: H60 corsair liquid cooler
RAM: 4 sticks of DDR3 totalling 24gb

Sounds like a possible power supply failure

Hello Everyone, Same issue with me PC restarts completely during hardly 5 minutes into the game of PUBG. Last time it happened I formatted & re-installed windows. The issue went away but again it is back. Now i'm updating the nvidia geforce drivers to latest lets see. CPU Temps. & GPU Temp. are in normal range. Will check if the same problem with new nvidia drivers & update you all.

CPU: Intel i7-6700k - 3.40 Ghz
RAM: 32 GB (Kingston Hyper-X)
PSU: 700 Watts
GPU: ASUS Geforce 1060 GTX (3GB RAM)
SSD: Transcend 256GB

Mine restarted right when I got to any game menu. And got worse every time. Found out my thermaltake 850w smart power supply was taking a shit. I had a spare EVGA 600w in my basement. Swapped power supplies and no problems ever since. This fixed my problem. Hope it can help you
