Crashing pc
Everytime I start the game on my pc 5 minutes later it crashes, any fixes?
Forum Discussion
since launch I’m experiencing the same consistent issue with FC 26 on PC.
The game starts normally, but after 3–4 minutes (either in menus or once I start a match) my entire PC freezes.
Once I even got a blue screen (CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, 0x00000101).
CPU and GPU usage stay very low (30–40%) right before the freeze.
Other demanding games (Cities: Skylines 2, F1 24, etc.) run completely fine.
I also ran hardware monitoring (HWiNFO) during the crash:
CPU clocks and voltages are stable
Temperatures are low (CPU < 40 °C, GPU < 60 °C)
No power limits or throttling observed
It looks like this is a game- or driver-level issue rather than a problem with my PC.
System:
Windows 11 Pro (latest updates)/ NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 581.29
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core / NVIDIA 4070 RTX ASUS Dual / 32 GB RAM
Issue still there, same exact issue and experience as you. No change since we were able to launch the game.
The issue already started a few days back on FC 25. I was hoping that FC 26 won't have this but here we are....
