I purchased my laptop last year using an Intel Iris Xe processor. However, whenever I tried to run Space Engine, it would shut down and restart repeatedly. After Dell replaced my motherboard, the issue persisted—still requiring shutdowns. Last month, they provided a new laptop, but it continues to experience these problems. I play other games without issues, so it seems Space Engine is the problem. It’s possible that Intel Iris Xe doesn’t fully support such demanding applications. Regarding whether shutting down a PC or laptop can harm hardware, yes—frequent shutdowns under stress may cause wear or instability over time.
It seems you've repeated your message. Could you clarify or provide the next part of what you'd like to discuss?
I received a laptop with an I7 processor and Iris Xe graphics. I enjoy playing Space Engine, but sometimes it shuts down and restarts unexpectedly. My motherboard and Space Engine keep failing this way, even though I use more demanding games without issues. Could it be that only one app causes problems? Or could forcing certain apps affect my hardware?
It's understandable to feel concerned. A shutdown and restart might not harm your hardware, but it's best to check if everything is functioning normally afterward.
The driver might get mixed up if you have multiple new Intel GPUs installed, making it hard to identify which one you want to use.
With a Thunderbolt port, you could potentially connect an external GPU, which might improve performance. However, you'd have to wait a long time for an ARC GPU to be available for purchase around the second quarter of 2022, and it's uncertain what availability or driver support will look like.
