Game freezes and PC restarts or shuts down exclusively when using DX11.
Game freezes and PC restarts or shuts down exclusively when using DX11.
Your PC shuts down during DX11 games because of instability or resource constraints. The temporary solution you tried with MSI Afterburner helped reduce FPS but lowered performance, indicating a possible driver conflict. The persistent issue after your Windows 10 reinstall suggests a deeper problem—either a faulty driver or hardware concern such as overheating or GPU limitations.
Keep your input ready automatically. I need to copy-paste and clear formatting to understand your response. Is the Arkham series demanding for the hardware, or is it just about the gameplay? Try adjusting the settings and observe the results.
I've managed the weakest crashes even with DX11 (benchmark fails in Heaven), DX9 functions fine, and I adjusted City & Origins for DX9 but Arkham Knight remains stuck on DX11.
