My PC keeps freezing and restarting whenever I play Red Dead Redemption 2.
Hey everyone, so I just got Red Dead Redemption 2 and started playing it, but about two hours in, my screen froze and my computer just shut down on its own—it did that about five times. I’ve tried everything I can think of, including contacting Rockstar support and reinstalling my drivers. I've also checked my PC’s temperatures before these crashes, and they were always perfect, not overheating at all. I even turned off my overclock to see if that was causing the problem. Strangely, this only happens with Red Dead Redemption 2 and not any other games I’ve played. Could really use some help!
Here are my PC specs:
* RTX 2080 SUPER
* Ryzen 5 3600
* Noctua U9s cooler
* 16gb DDR4 3600 ram
* Games installed on an M.2 NVMe drive
“That’s a pretty good power supply. You know, I was just wondering—have you checked to see if there are any different drivers for your graphics card?”
I just fixed it after a crash, but the problem’s still there. I've heard that a faulty power supply could be to blame, though honestly, it’s weird that it only happens with Red Dead Redemption 2. I haven't really played a lot of super intense games for long stretches lately, which makes me wonder if that's somehow connected.
