Computer Randomly Restarting Without BSOD in Wolfenstein II
I know, it's probably not necessarily the fault of the game, but my computer works with almost all other games, so here it is. In case the specs I've given the forums aren't enough, here's my msinfo and dxdiag: DxDiag.txt msinfo32.txt
I just built a new computer, and when I tried to start playing Wolfenstein II, I ran into an issue where my computer would randomly just restart after a few minutes of gameplay. This has happened, without fail, every time I've played the game on this computer. I'm pretty sure it isn't a hardware issue- I've been able to run equally intensive games, such as Battlefield 1, with no issues whatsoever, and after doing a GPU benchmark, nothing melted inside the case. As I said in the title, there's no BSOD, and no error code that I can find. Additionally, when the restart happens, the front panel LED stays on- I'm not sure if that's worth anything, but I supposed I should mention it. The only other game I've played so far with this issue was DOOM 2016, though it was much less common (read: once in the space of a half hour, instead of 5 or 6 times). I've tried plugging my power cable into the wall directly instead of a power strip, but the issues persisted after that. The only idea I have at this point is that it has something to do with Vulkan API, since both DOOM and Wolfenstein II run Vulkan, but I honestly have no clue at this point. And yes, I have been told that software usually doesn't cause random restarts like this, but I can't find any other possible cause. Thank you!
