Computer Rebooting When Launching Battlefield 2042
Been trying all evening to get BF2042 to run for more than 30 seconds. At this time I've played 2min of the intro control match before my pc did a hard reboot. I purchased the game through Steam, I've run the game through there and through Origin with the same results game launches then PC reboots. I've checked file integrity and updated my PC and GPU. Currently the game is unplayable it will hard reboot right after the connecting to network icon appears. I've seen one single Reddit post from the beta period where someone suggested a bad or dying PSU but I can play other games such as Forza 5 for hours with no overheating or reboot so I don't believe my PSU is the issue. According to the PSU calculator on NewEgg I should only be drawing 423 Watts. If anyone has other suggestions I'd love to hear them. I'm including my specs below.
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB
GPU: RTX 2080 Super
Mother Board: TUF Gaming X570-PLUS
PSU: Corsair CX Series 650 watt
Hard Drive: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB
After many hours of pain staking troubleshooting it appears to be power related. (not enough power going into the system)
A user who resolved their issue completely replaced their PSU for a new one, possibly due to age.
Before doing this is suggest you look at three key things:
1. Check that none of the cables are damaged, crushed, or folded in such a way that may cause damage.
2. Check the connections or reconnect the cables into your system aswell as your PSU for modular PSUs
3. Check your IEC cable or power cable that goes from your PC to the wall is in good condition.
(Remember to unplug from the wall before removing power connectors)
