DCS world 2 Alpha reboots my computer

[Hammer]

For some reason I start flying then my computer just shuts down like someone pulled the power cable out. Has anyone had an issue like this?

 

Thanks in advance.:mad:

What power supply do you have and what gpu, peripherals, (HOTAS, pedals, etc.) are you using? Have you recently upgraded a piece of hardware?

DCS 2.1 is both very CPU and video card intensive. Your power supply (PSU) current will be higher running it than many other games/apps.

 

It's possible your PSU fan has stopped working, but the PSU can still supply enough power for the other things you use your machine for--but when you run DCS, the PSU overheats and shuts itself off to prevent damage. I've seen this happen before.

 

Make sure your PSU fan works--if not, you have to replace it or get a new PSU. In the meantime, you might try putting a small desk fan over the PSU to blow air through it and keep it cool. Perhaps a higher wattage PSU is needed as well. Have you recently upgraded your system or done any hefty overclocking?

 

Peace and happy warfare

Run some stress tests and see if that also triggers your shut-down.

 

prime95 and MSI-Kombustor together should be all it needs to bring it down to its knees ( max power draw and heat ).
