I don't believe it's the RAM anymore, since not all four of my rams might be bad at once—or maybe it's just a guess. Stressing the CPU and GPU with furmark doesn't seem to trigger a restart. Your comments about testing the GPU on another PC and using a different PSU are good ideas; maybe I'll check that out tomorrow. I plan to reinstall Windows, hoping it won't cause a total shutdown or at least a BSOD error.
You can observe the PC drawing a lot of energy, putting pressure on both the GPU and CPU simultaneously. The GPU is nearly reaching 185 watts, yet it doesn<|pad|> to restart.
Check each RAM stick separately. If replacing the RAM doesn't fix the issue, run Memtest to eliminate them. It's simple and free. Your motherboard RAM slots might be faulty—try one stick at a time in each slot. If you have four slots, use a known working stick in each and see if it fails only in one. This could point to a power supply problem. Using an older PSU from another computer can help. If the game doesn't crash or show artifacts, you can likely eliminate GPU issues. CPU might be possible to rule out, though it's uncertain. Good luck!
Thank you for your time. The issue isn't driver-related. I switched to Linux instead of reinstalling Windows, but the problem persists. The PC restarts when I change the tile size to 4 (2-4-8-16 High-Low). Initially, I thought the drivers were the cause, but it seems the driver files are fine. Exporting 8k textures and 4px tiles might be triggering the restart. I have only two RAM sticks installed, but in Task Manager it shows four slots. I've tried using one stick at a time in different slots, but the issue remains. It seems this exact problem hasn't been encountered before, which is why it's difficult to resolve. Tomorrow, I plan to test my PSU GPU from a shop.
