Question Prey 2016 crashing and rebooting PC

[WacksTobacks]

Prey is crashing and rebooting my PC, any help would be greatly appreciated!

My specs are:

Radeon RX 570
i5 3570k @ 4.3ghz
12gb DDR3
Windows 7 64-bit
Seasonic 750w Gold
Samsung Evo 500gb SSD

I used to be able to run this game without a problem before I upgraded from a 660 ti, changed my PSU, and installed an SSD. Now, it'll randomly crash within 15 minutes of playing - the game will freeze for a split second, the screen will go black, show static white noise for a second, then my PC will reboot. I've tried a few things to troubleshoot, but to no avail. I've tweaked Vsync settings, GPU clock (scaled down), GPU wattage (given maximum headroom) and installed to both SSD and HDD - nothing's worked.

Here's what the event viewer displays with every crash:

If I forgot to mention something, let me know.

Thanks!

Since you changed from Nvidia to AMD, i would completely uninstall all display drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller. Once done, reinatall the latest gpu drivers.

Already did that. I even re-installed Windows after the fact, so there shouldn't be any old drivers left on here.

Ok, so this is strange. I've set my i5's clock speed back to its default value, and the crashing has stopped in Prey. Normally, this would clearly indicate an unstable overclock, but I haven't had issues like this with any other game. Could Denuvo be to blame, considering how it eats CPU performance?
