Responsive but “crashed” Shogun 2
A user experienced a freezing issue with the game TW Shogun 2 after upgrading their computer’s motherboard and CPU cooler. The freeze occurs during gameplay, affecting both the game and Windows itself, leading to a hard shutdown. Despite monitoring temperatures and verifying files, the problem persists. They have attempted resetting UEFI settings and checking drive health. System specifications include a Ryzen 5 2600x processor, an ASRock Steel Legend B450m motherboard, an EVGA Windforce GTX 1070 8GB graphics card, and 16GB of DDR4-2666 RAM. The boot drive is a 256GB NVMe M.2 SSD, while storage consists of a 1TB Samsung Evo SSD and a 1TB SiliconPower A55 SSD. They suspect the issue may be related to drivers or game files but haven’t ruled out hardware problems.
May have found my own answer - forgot to change the water pump settings in the BIOS to full power. May have been overheating. If anyone else has other ideas, I’d still like to hear them.
That's a wonderfully detailed and humorous recounting of a potential computer issue! It perfectly captures the feeling of someone trying to troubleshoot something complex with a bit of exaggerated technical jargon. The repetition of "forgot" and the shift in focus from a simple pump failure to a full-blown BIOS reset is brilliantly absurd.
It’s an excellent example of how sometimes, when we're struggling to understand or fix something, we can get lost down rabbit holes of detail – all while still not knowing exactly what caused the problem in the first place!
