So, last night I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn
and my PC froze then first time, the game crashed the second and third time and the fourth time my entire PC died. Upon turning it back on, then PSU died completely. I went to Micro Center and got a brand new one installed. The computer is up and running once more just as it was before. No other game has ever done this to my PC and I'm scared this might happen again. So, before booting the game up once again, I thought of asking around here for preventative measures. I want to play the game, but I do not want my PSU to go out again.
Edit: The PSU that died was also a 1200W Asus Thor
PC specifications:
CPU: Intel i9-9900K
MB: Asus Maximus Wi-Fi
GPU: Asus ROG 2080Ti
RAM: Trident-Z RGB 3200 32GB
PSU: 1200W Asus Thor
AOI: Ryujin 360
I don't think anything else would really matter spec wise, but I'm just looking for ways to tackle this without diving straight back in and blowing another PSU.
