The PC crashes exclusively during gameplay in BG3.
Hi, I'm dealing with this specific problem that only appears when I play Baldur's Gate 3. My screen goes black and I can't do anything. Sometimes people on Discord can still hear me, but during the crash I have to shut down my PC and restart it. I'm not very tech-savvy, so after upgrading some parts of my computer, the issue keeps happening. At first I thought it was due to overheating and bought a water cooler, but that didn't help much. I did a GPU stress test earlier today and it was fine, yet when I ran a CPU stress test with Prime95 it crashed again later. I'm feeling really frustrated and think I might have to replace all my components until it works properly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Game problem. Wait for developers to release an update or hotfix. There are many discussions online about issues with Baldur's Gate 3. One recent example is: https://forums. A possible solution is available at the end.
I didn't realize it was connected to a game problem. I never saw blue screens or anything unusual, just dark screens and the PC restarting. As I mentioned, I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm curious why this crash happened during stress testing my CPU. Thanks in advance! ❤️
HX750 is a fairly old model. What is the age of the PSU? Was it purchased new or used/refurbished? At that time, what does Event Viewer indicate when the screens go dark? (Review the log after rebooting.) Also, what are the values for SFC and scannow? When the screens become dark, use the following key combination: Win + Ctrl + Shift + B. This restarts the graphical drivers; if the image appears again, we can narrow down the cause more effectively. Oh, what updates have been made to the PC since you started this discussion? There are many other things to try, but these should cover the basics at the moment.
I bought that PSU three days ago, brand new. Prior to that, I had an 850w Kolink bronze 80 PSU, so I decided to replace it in case of a power problem and got this one with plat 80.

I also shared some screenshots along with the scan log. I’m not entirely sure what I’m searching for, so I focused mainly on errors. Recently, my PC crashed about 20 minutes ago and restarted itself automatically. The two latest screenshots in that folder show errors around the time of the crash.
I haven’t made any major changes. The only change was removing my HDD and using it externally, with Steam installed on that drive.
Overall, the problem seems to be related to either software or hardware. Initially, I thought it might be a software issue, but now I’m more inclined to consider a hardware fault.
Regarding the duration of use and whether it was new, used, or refurbished,
I’m still pondering this.
Also, the Kolink KL-850 appears to be in poor condition, with several warning signs.
Frequent reboots or shutdowns are mainly due to two problems:
1. The CPU/GPU overheats and the system automatically shuts down to avoid damage.
2. The power supply fails to provide sufficient power to the GPU or maintains unstable voltage for the PC.
Could you share your CPU/GPU temperatures, both when idle and under load?
Yeah Kolink was my previous setup, but I switched to Corsair now after being told I need a higher quality PSU. I think I've had the Kolink model since December, and it was brand new at the time.
The idle temperatures stayed between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius. When things got stressed, the GPU temperature rose to 81, while the CPU never reached 80.
I’m also unsure how to send you those logs. :c
I’ve never downloaded any software for overclocking before, and I’ve never done any overclocking myself. If I searched for Ryzen Master, it appeared in my search results, but when I tried to open it, I got a “Driver not installed properly” error.
So I reinstalled it just to check my stats, then completely removed it. I’m still confused because I don’t really know how I ended up with that software on my system at all—especially since I’m not very tech-savvy.
