PC Still Rebooting...
Continuation of my own thread here. It seems to have been lost in the shuffle, hence a new thread. Even after "Patch 2", new NVIDIA drivers and windows update, game still reboots my PC after ~5-20 ...

That's incorrect. I'm so sick of people claiming hardware is at fault every time a computer has issues. I've had way more issues with software causing issues than hardware.
GPU timeouts can crash systems and can be caused by driver issues.
I've had Kings Bounty crash my new system completely because of an issue with the GPU timing out when changing from the overworld to underground. This was on a GPU miles beyond what it needed.
Everyone on console (Xbox/PS5) aren't hard crashing on any other games other than Veilguard.
I'm not 100% certain of anything, but I've never had any sort of Pc reboots since I've done the latest two NVIDIA drivers and playing The Veilguard.
(I did just clean the inside of my PC, got rid of any excess dust and whatnot, I considered it might be an overheating issue.)
There is a chance its a coincidence, and my PC is breaking down just as I started playing The Veilguard, but I'd rather it be a software and/or game issue rather then it be on my end, cause either fixing or buying a new PC can get expensive, not to mention time consuming.
I'll continue troubleshooting, and note any major changes in my main post.
(P.S I did play another session of Age of Wonders 4 and it didn't reboot on me.)
Yeah, I don't mean to say it ISN'T a driver issue, more so then the sentiment that it's not an issue with dragon age itself. There's always the possibility of multiple different things causing crashes that overlap in symptoms.
There's a bunch of people here and on Reddit and such who will immediately comment in threads with "ITS YOUR HARDWARE, MINE DOESNT CRASH" which at best hinders the ability to get meaningful information when cutting through the noise, and at worst wastes a bunch of people's time thinking their hardware is at fault or they are alone dealing with the issue.
It gets annoying to see, just like the above, where someone (not you op) says with full confidence that it absolutely must be a problem with your hardware because software doesn't crash hardware, which is just wildly incorrect, and it does nothing to actually progress the elucidation of the real problem. They also haven't read any of the other threads before posting or they would have seen the full breakdown of what people have attempted and what they've found, none of which points to the actual hardware having an issue.
I don't understand why they even post in the threads, it just muddies the waters.
