Hello all,
I've been having this nasty issue for about 1 month now. Everything was running perfectly fine before that. Haven't changed anything before the issues started.
I start a game, goes to menu all fine, load the save, game starts and 2-3 secs after that I get a rig restart. Goes back to Win, no error message or anything that might indicate what happened or that something might be wrong. Start the game again, load the save, 2-3 sec in, crashes and restarts again. Same cycle again, load the game the 3rd time and everything works fine, no problems at all. Can run the game for however long I please.
I've checked the temps on the CPU and GPU, all good. CPU max 49C, GPU max 81C.
I've scoured the web for similar problems but haven't found anything like what I'm having. Maybe someone can help.
I'm thinking the PSU but that doesn't explain why it always crashes 2 times and then it's fine the 3rd. I've even tried to circumvent that and restart the PC manually after the 1st crash, 2 times even, but it will still need to crash another 1 time in order for the 3rd to work.
