Constant Crashes

Schlangenbob · June 2017

Hello,

unfortunately since a few months I experience gamecrashes after a few minutes of gaming. I suspect it being a temperature problem but on the other hand I didnt have issues until the Update with the Scanner room (forgot the name of this update). The crash results in an immediate shutdown of the computer.

I didnt change my setup, I cleaned my tower and optimized the airflow. It still doesnt work.

I tried to turn on Vsync to limit my FPS to 60 ingame yet when I open the Console it says "Vsync 1" but also "Targeted Framerae 144". Btw. the most often the game Crashes on the Countdown before the big explosion right when it comes to 3-2.

My Build:
AMD FX8 8350
16 GB Ram
Asus R9 280 series
3 GB GPU Ram
Windows 10 (64 Bit)
8 logical Processors
Version 47282
Build Date 28.04.2017

Hope you can help me out here. I can't believe it's due to high temperature... the game worked on previous patches just fine and I could play for hours on end.

If your computer is shutting down, this is typically caused either by system software--or more likely hardware. You wouldn't expect application software to cause a shutdown of the computer. I would recommend running diagnostics on your computer that do stress testing to try and isolate the problem.

I concur with garath. It is usually bad drivers or the system is overheating causing hardware problems.

Thanks for your posts. I will try this 0x6A, to other two: I know these are signs of hardware issues especially overheating and I feel like it IS overheating. I just dont understand why it does this NOW and not half a year ago (same system)

If you have a dusty environment, 6 months is overdue for a cleaning. If you use a vacuum, use a plastic piece on the end, or don't let the metal touch anything (hold your hand around the nozzle to make a cover over the edge so if you do touch anything, it's just your hand).

Also, using compressed air in addition or instead of a vac is good, but don't let it spray liquid (use short bursts, don't use it with the can upside-down).
