Community Admin@UhhRacist Getting a "no bootable device" indicates a hard drive issue. Do you have an alternative hard drive you can install the game to?
You may also want to run a System File Checker scan on your hard drive, it may show up if there is a physical issue.

@CyberTechVibes Hi, a system shutdown is indicative of a system issue, the games would just be triggering it, presumably as they're more demanding than many other applications.
You mention scans and reinstalls in the other thread, and them finding nothing. I'll take it from a comment in another thread that you've tried disabling any OCs too. Can I check what other steps were taken? they may help with figuring out what's going wrong here.
Any details on exactly how the shutdown manifests may help too.
Thanks.
@EA_David it isn't my system. Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order works completely fine with Origin, as well as NFS Rivals. All my STEAM games work perfectly even WITH Chrome hogging RAM up. It's the game and by the posts from other users, I can see it is the game because they have other setups that aren't like mine and they have the same complaints as I do. Now, tell me again it is my system! Look into this mess please!
@EA_David The only fix that I have seen is to launch the game in windowed mode, fullscreen and bordered crash it but windowed seems like it is ok to use.
Update: Went to open Chrome and it crashed so it has to be the fact that the game takes up so many resources from the computer and just kills it. Although you may be right that it is a system thing and my computer can't handle a game with Chrome, your game still should not be taking up that much for it to crash a PC. This issue is a nuisance and I won't be updating my hardware anytime soon to conform to your resource-hogging games. Maybe it should be looked into about this game hogging everything up. Fullscreen mode crashes and it shouldn't do that. I know I may come off as rude, but a company like EA should be able to have the helping hands to be able to see what they can do for their customers. An unhappy customer is an unhappy business.
