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.
Yes, GPU timeouts can cause a crash....and about 99% of those crashes are freezes, screen doing funky colors, or locking up, NOT REBOOTING THE SYSTEM or SYSTEM SHUTDOWN.....
What most people don't realize is that modern operating systems are designed to "crash" in such a way for most drivers that it will restart in session and when it doesn't, the system MOST TIMES doesn't restart itself and requires a manual restart. A system that is turning itself off, or rebooting without user input is USUALLY HARDWARE....it gets tiresome on my part to know this info, and have repeatedly had people come back later and explain that their hardware did indeed have an issue AFTER denying it at the time. Now Messoram_Lopus is very correct, a software issue would be in many ways better than a hardware because of cost and likely ease of fixing.
Now there is a setting in Windows that allows for automatic restart after a bluescreen....most people don't have it set this way, and usually most people know when they get a bluescreen....... Are there exceptions to the shutdown/reboot being hardware, sure there are exceptions to just about everything in life, but in GENERAL, reboots/shutdowns are usually hardware.
It's really not worth rehashing this over and over.
It's software this time, it's been software the entire time with these crashes, it's not hardware, so the discussion is moot. Anyone can say whatever they want about the proportion of crashes, it doesn't change that this issue is software.
If it's a driver issue, that is a software issue.
