    So as the title states. I start Battlefield V, fans start going crazy, the main menu doesn't even load up before my PC crashes and reboots. Sometimes I manage to get in game, I can usually play for about 20 minutes, 30 if I'm lucky before the same thing happens just seemingly out of nowhere, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @343kai  That is odd, what are your temps looking like when you crash? To start I'd run Origin as an admin by right clicking on the Origin icon and selecting "run as administrator" and then run a repair of BF5. Next try playing again and if you crash again I recommend scanning your Windows installation for errors using this method:  https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-sfc-command-utility-fix-system-files-windows-10 to rule out any OS issues.

Was the graphics card installed prior to installing Windows 10? If not the Windows might be confused and act-up

Test other games

Check system temperatures and case temp

Re-seat the graphicscard in the PCIe slot or test another slot (advanced user only)

Re-seat all power cables > what power supply?

Update motherboard bios

Update AMD mainboard driver

Use a driver cleaner for gpu driver

    It is purely Battlefield V that does this. No other game. Thanks for trying to help though man, I've tried all that. ☹️

      @343kaiThe only time my system ever reboots during operation is when I set system /GPU overclocks too high, be sure to remove them before testing.
      BFV is one of the most demanding games on the market and it might draw a lot of power from both the PCIe slot and the PSU directly. If there is a weak link in the mobo+cpu+ddr combo it can also fail during heavy loads.

      -reinstall windows

      -test another psu cable

      -test another wall socket

      -remove all not required peripherals (usb and pci)
      -make sure the ram DIMMs are compatible with the motherboard
      -re-seat ram DIMMs in other slot and try separate sticks and leave one out each time
      -test another power supply unit
      -remove computer from case and check for electrical induction
