I appreciate your review and any suggestions you might have. When I reach my frame rate limit or push graphics to their maximum, the system functions normally but shuts down when near monitor refresh rates. If you're similar, you likely hear loud noises on your screen as soon as you see this message—this suggests a power supply issue. Based on what I found, only about 30W remains, and I’m not overly concerned since my GPU stays under load at most times. I doubt the shutdown is sudden; it seems like a gradual failure after reaching high settings. The culprit might not be Linux/Proton/VKD3D, but rather something else. I downloaded the game via Game Pass and it rebooted instead of crashing, which was confusing. My system runs perfectly in other games or stress tests. I’m struggling to figure this out, and searching shows others with similar RX5700 models report the same problem. The advice is to cap FPS at 60 to prevent shutdowns. If you have more details, it would help. My setup includes: OS—Manjaro; CPU—Ryzen 5 3600; Motherboard—Asus Prime B450 Plus; GPUs—MSI RX 5700XT, Mech OC XFX, R9 270x (FIO not loaded during games); RAM—4×8GB Crucial Balistix 3200; Power supply—EVGA Supernova 650W.
