    Far cry 5 crashes Windows 10

    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 I7’s
    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?

    Hey, if you use Nvidia. Try rollback drivers to 391.01 or 391.24. The 391.35 drivers is bugged, i have similar issue - just random, hard crashes. Tested this fix and can recommend it.
    My rig 4770k, 16GB ram, gtx1050ti.
    If it helps, please report, to help others.
