I recently installed Windows 10 on one of my SSDs while I've been running Win11 for over 6 months now, because I had some major performance issues on the CPU side in some titles so I wanted to check if a different, fresh OS installation would help.
Surprisingly enough it did, and the same games, namely WoW and GW2 were running far better than they should. However, I started getting constant system reboots in specific titles like Genshin and WoW, this would mostly happen immediately after booting the game and entering the game world, or within a minute or 2 of playing. In other much more demanding games, I'm getting no reboots. I tested OCCTP benchmark to check for PSU issues since that seems to be the most likely cause from other posts I've seen, and it ran all components at max power usage for 20 minutes with no issues.
I then booted back into the Win11 install on my other drive, and there are again no issues in either of these games, or any other game and stress test. So hardware doesn't seem to be the problem, there is something related to the clean Win10 installation that's causing reboots in certain titles, that's also not related to pure power draw or anything else. I have a 4080/5800x3D/32GB of 3600mhz ram and a 750w Seasonic PSU.
Is there any way that I can narrow down what's causing the reboots that only seem to be the problem on the new Win10 but not the old Win11 drive?
