Hey there! I just got some new games—Need for Speed, Forza 5, and Dirt 4. But when I launch them, the screen turns black right away, then my PC restarts. This doesn’t happen in Dirt 4 or any other titles I’ve tried. I’ve run Windows Update and done two rounds of DDU fixes. I also repaired the game files and tried installing them on another drive. The Windows error log is pretty unclear. What should I do next? My PSU seems fine with my 3080ti (1000W Corsair), but I’m starting to think the RGB extensions might be the issue.
