Hi
My problem is that when I play Far cry 5, after a random time playing usually a minute or two, once for about 30 mins, my computer crashes and restarts. No error messages on windows 10, no error messages in the game just a complete restart as if nothing has happened.
To try to resolve this I have tried all the below, but the problem continues.
Verified game files in steam.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
Updated C++ 2017
Updated the Nvidia drivers.
Optimised all drives
Cleaned the registries at every step.
Bleached the harddrives
Played with disabled overlays
Played without disabled overlays
Exited out of all background programs
Cleaned the Graphics card and cpu water-cooling.
I am running an I7 3790k 4ghz (not overclocked) 16gb ram, GTX1080 8gb graphics card. So well within the specs.
Two of my three sons are playing the game, and have not had a hitch, but they are running newer I7s
Looks to be a great game, but is really frustrating at present. What else can you suggest or is this a known issue, that you will fix?
hello!
If your pc is just resetting without any warning my first thought would be over heating, overclocking (I know you're not) or power supply issues, can you take a good PSU out of one or your kids computers for an afternoon, you can monitor temperatures with Open Hardware Monitor or some such app.
Out of interest what PSU do you have and how old is it?
User Laptis found a link that worked for him and me, i tried everything for four days and this is the one that worked for me, install and restart computer:
