Hello, I'm participating in a game named "Project Zomboid" with three other players. While they don't crash, I do. Following the title, my GPU reaches maximum usage and the game shuts down automatically. Compared to my friends, none of them experience crashes even though we all have the same mods installed for cooperative play. All my drivers are current, and I use a software tool to ensure everything stays updated. Here are my specifications: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600x, Motherboard - PRIME B550-PLUS AC -HES, RAM - 16B DDR, Graphics card - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

Is your bio current? Have you attempted to establish a power cap for the GPU to prevent overvoltage attempts? What is the PSU?

Hello, your BIOS shows the date as 7/13/2021, which appears quite current. The PSU model is the "InWin P65F 650W PF SERIES." I might attempt to adjust a limit, but why would it cause overvoltage during one game?

Certain games need various rendering methods that may lead to power surges in specific modules and sections of the hardware

That PSU seems to have just one PCIe power connector.
EDIT: I realized the card is a 3060, not a 3080, which was my initial assumption. How many PCIe power ports does it actually have?
You might have downloaded an outdated driver. It’s likely you’re using incorrect or old drivers. Clear any existing files and install the correct ones yourself. Ensure your motherboard’s BIOS and chipset are up to date.

Thanks for the idea! I'll begin searching for a better PSU.

I believe the problem isn't with the PSU. As long as your PSU includes two PCIe power connectors, you should be okay.
