Several great things come out of mods, with the most recent being a title born of the robust creation available through StarCraft 2, titled World of StarCraft. Along with these deep worlds comes a dedicated fanbase, and as with many popular PC games, a modding community. Whether it's Diablo, World of Warcraft, or Starcraft 2, Blizzard delivers in-depth worlds that grab players by the throat. well I won't say it again.Blizzard creates addicting games. Either way, if your system shuts down because the PSU fails to deliver on max load, then.

You may have a point that the software is not optimized, it could have caused your system to draw max voltage where the other games may not have. I just had this same exact issue (the shut downs literally started by playing X4!!) and it got resolved by replacing the PSU. Otherwise, and I will say it again, the issue likely lies with your PSU and you should see to getting it cleaned out, and if that doesn't work, then get it replaced. If it is, I would override the fan control on the GPU to 100% and see where that gets you, because the fanspeed curves can be inadequate at times. It should become fairly obvious a few minutes in-game whether or not the card is overheating. I mean the next thing you should do is just monitor your card temperature while you're playing. Dust in fans can be a nasty surprise - which happened to me on few occasions. Second - check the temperatures and loads.

My rig has easier time running any of them cause I have relatively weaker CPU (FX 8350) vs my GTX 1080.įirst - check windows log - a lot of times you will find some leads there to what exactly is causing it. Enough so it imho a lot of times it is CPU bound, not GPU bound. None of them are especially CPU heavy, while X4 is making heavy use of it. Perhaps you`re new card is on the blink? New stuff can be faulty. I RMA`d it and they exchanged for a new one asap. I bought a brand new graphics card in January my pc started playing up. Why would X4 choose your apparently perfect rig to shut down and nobody else has this issue?Īre you sure it can`t be anything to do with your pc? I do however remember a long time ago Starcraft 2 had major issues with overheating cards when it launched and it was one of the first things they had to fix, so I'm 100% positive it's the problem with the game itself.

I would like to emphasise that I don't have this problem with shutting down with any other game or application and I do video and photo editing as well. My PC is more than powerful enough and stable enough to run this game, I run DCS World, Elite, Fallout 4, Arma 3, GTA V and so on on highest settings the GFX card is also brand new GTX 1070.
