Apex Shuts my Computer Off Completely

Essentially when I play Apex I almost always get one or a few matches in until my computer completely shuts down instantly. The first thing I thought of was that it was overheating however its strange because no other game does this to my computer even if it is more intensive than Apex Legends.

    This can happen if you have upgraded your GPU without upgrading your power supply. 

    Check the website of your video card manufacturer to find the total system power recommendation and compare this with your PC power supply wattage.

    Thanks.

  • My graphics card in an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970, and I have a 600 Watt power supply. I believe the recommended for the graphics card is 500 Watts.
