BF6 forcefully shutting down my PC
Hello, Since today (I've been playing since launch on Friday with over 10 hours until the issue) I can't really play BF6. After 15 mins or so my PC forcefully shuts down, similar to what happens whe...

Likely the PSU is faulty unfortunately. I had a similar issue last summer, where my PC would just shut off/reboot, playing Phasmophobia of all games (not a demanding game). Tried stress tests and couldn't recreate issue but then eventually reproduced it playing CP2077. Then after a few more crashes/reboots playing Phasmophobia the PSU died completely and wouldn't boot the system at all. Tried it on another system to confirm and it wouldn't boot that one either.
If you're able to reproduce the reboot fairly consistently, I would buy a new PSU from somewhere where it's easy to return, so you can test it and verify if your current PSU is faulty. Then if so, RMA the faulty one and return the new one after receiving a replacement, unless you just want to keep the new one.
It's not a PSU issue for the majority of us. There are hundreds of players who have reported this same issue and bf6 is the only game this happens in. I've tested hundreds of games on my PC, a lot of them being more power hungry than bf6 and they run with no issue.
There is a real bug on the bf6 or driver side side that is causing these hard crashes for a lot of people. It's been happening since beta.

Doesn't hurt to try a new PSU simply to rule it out, that's all I'm saying. OP also saying their 2080S is old and doesn't "want" to pull 250w also doesn't make sense. A 7yr old GPU isn't some ancient relic and should still be capable of that. Again, sounds like faulty hardware, regardless of which games/applications expose the fault.

I'm having the same exact issue and I have a 1200W PSU with a huge amount of headroom. I even had a spare 1000W PSU to rule out my current one and the crashes continued.
" Doesn't hurt to try a new PSU simply to rule it out, that's all I'm saying. "
Doesn't hurt besides telling OP to spend money on a new PSU? The possibility of a PSU only showing faults on one single game, especially if other games that pull more power than bf6 and don't crash is slim... It's even more slim when the issue is being reported across forums by many people.
