    RTX 2060 Super shutting down?

    Hi,
    I did try to search but could not find the fix.
    I have Win 10 Home Ver 21H1
    I5-9600K No overclock
    32GB ram
    Nvidiia RTX 2060 Super GPU running all the latest drivers.

    This happened 2 times in a row.
    I started the game standing in front of the Temple as soon as I begin to move into the Temple area I hear a electrical sound in my head phones ZZZzzzzzst.
    and the 27" Acer G-SYNC display shows no connection but the computer is still powered on.
    The second time I started the game I went into settings and turned stuff down from Ultra to High and from 144 hz to 60hz.
    The original settings were chosen by the game, but it did not help, all my other games are working fine and for the last couple of weeks I was able to play watchdogs 2 without any problems.
    I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hey Tusler, sorry this has been an issue in Watch Dogs 2 lately. To confirm, this issue only occurs when entering the New Dawn Temple? Could you also tell me if you are running multiple monitors other than the 27" Acer G-SYNC?

    I am only running a single monitor.
    The program was running fine, I had been at the temple a couple of times and had a big gun standoff (great fun) then i properly exited the game. The next time I started the game the problem started. Since I had not completed the temple mission it started in front of the gate. I have not tried any other mission since I am worried about frying my card.

    Update:
    I uninstalled and reinstalled ,I let the program setup the graphics automatically. I noticed when I reinstalled there was a lot of new content and updates.
    I've been playing for a couple of hours now with no problems. I did not go back to the temple mission yet. If the problem returns I'll post it. But for now all seems good.
