Question Unreal Engine 5 "Ark Survival Ascended" makes PC freeze up ?

[Xbmitchx]

So Ark Survival Ascended came out and while playing it my pc will just randomly freeze up entirely and the only way out of it is to restart the PC. Thermals are fine at least that MSI afterburner reports CPU sits at around 68C during gameplay and GPU never goes above like 73C during gameplay. Age of all parts is a little over 2 years.

I'm curious to know if anyone has any idea of whats causing it or any potential fixes ?

Source for Ark Survival Ascended?

Look in Reliability Monitor/History and Event Viewer.

Either one or both tools may be capturing some related error code, warning, or even an informational event just before or at the time of the freeze-ups.

Ark Survival Ascended is on steam, the developers of the original of Ark Survival Evolved are remaking the game in Unreal Engine 5.

Looks like there a couple different errors happening around the time of the freezes. Both event viewer and reliability monitor show NVIDIA container fails/terminated unexpectedly. Also looks like its spitting out "SCEP Certificate enrollment initialization for WORKGROUP\AEONICWEAPON$ via https://amd-keyid-907d65e9b562315997dd5ad086b2b7598957b92c.microsoftaik.azure.net/templates/Aik/scep failed"
