Re: Computer Rebooting When Launching Battlefield 2042

God thats a lot of numbers lol.

But yeah if that is the case why do you think replacing a PSU for one user has worked and capping CPU performance in windows has worked for another?

Im not saying your logs are wrong but something is fixing the issue by reducing the load or replacing the PSU.

Not to mention what your effectively saying is a piece of software causing a hardware reset with no BSOD or error code.

That does not happen unless your heavily modifying the hardware through overclocking or there is a hardware issue and even then there is a sign of fault before it happens.

I know that different games are the best stress test as they stress your system in various ways, but BF 2042 seems to hit on something for a few specific users here with various setups, its not like its hardware specific that one type of motherboard or CPU is causing the issue or we would have seen some consistency.

I gotta ask: how old is your PSU?

@The_Tibber 

Yeah logs are fun! 😂 I'm not sure why replacing a PSU worked for someone compared to capping CPU performance for another. This is why I believe it's an issue with 2042 itself, those things could be coincidence if it isn't widespread, ya know? Obviously low chance, but still a possibility! 

We have seen software cause damage to hardware already with New World exposing cheap components. Not saying that is the case here, but it has happened. 

I didn't mention that in the beta, I was able to run at 1440p, medium no problem for 3 hours (that's as long as I played it to get a taste). 

So something between the beta and the full release has done something that prevents me from running it stable. 

My PSU is only 6 months old, if that and it's a Seasonic Focus 850; which are very good PSUs. 

I'm still stuck on the RAM issue because it's weird how the RAM just ramps up continually but never stops eating the available capacity. 

I might try a log running for as long the PC crashes to see how that looks. 

Just for fun I installed BF:V last night, and I can run that at 4K high no problem - I do it on DX11 though because DX12 has a weird bug for me where I HAVE to alt+f4 the game to close it. 

@m1k3ol 

It could be the PSU for some and not others. I have 16gbs of ram. 

BFV runs fine at 4K high, BF1 ran just fine at 1080P max ( didn't play at 4K when this was out) .

2042 beta ran fine at 1440p medium with 0 crashes, and now I'm stuck running it at 1080p low for the best chance at having it crash as little as possible. 

My PSU is totally fine, and my bios is already set to keep the PC off during power loss - but it always restarts every time the game crashes. 

I would believe it could be the PSU had I not run logs on other titles that are clearly demanding far more power than 2042 does; thus an issue with 2042 itself and how it runs. 

I can only theory-craft but the game runs most stable at 98% CPU limit in Windows settings which disables PBO; which further disables the automatic over-volting. There is something there in the voltage that 2042 doesn't like that's changed from the beta to the release now. 

From reading threads and scouring the internet, it does appear this issue mostly happens to the newer Ryzen CPUs and a select few Intel chips that also have turbo clocking built in.
