Hello anyone who sees this I just bought Sea of thieves on ms store it worked fine until I downloaded the new nividia drivers for my gpu .
My pc mets the requirements for the game and runs it close to 100 fps on legendary graphics . I check my power supply every thing is getting plenty of power. I uninstall and reinstall both my gpu drivers and sea of thieves and nothing seems to works.
Sea of thieves is causing my pc to fully restart
@guildar9194 I thought that at first but I have been checking temperature and it is normal . Along with that it is the only game it happens to.

Ah, ok. Sorry, I don't have any other ideas, myself.
@ixxxoloff not really it happens with out warning I'm just playing and screen goes from game to black then my computer restarts. Run titanfall, ghost runner, and other things fine.
@guildar9194 do you know if it was over heating what temperature it would max out at before shutting down

Generally, anything between 40–65°C (or 104–149°F) is considered a safe heat range for a normal workload. While running more intensive apps or games, the normal CPU temp range can increase to between 70–80°C (158–176°F). The rule of thumb is, a bad CPU temp is 80-85°C (176–185°F) or above
Using Core Temp; I can see mine is between 46-56C (114-132F) right now.Google says a PC running over 60C (140F) might shut down, to prevent damage to components.
Which is...a low temp. But I'm no PC expert.It really depends on the configuration.
Modern AMD CPUs can safely go to 95°C before throttling, for example. I still wouldn't like it and I have my 7700x limited to 83°C (PBO2 tuned) but that's an abundance of caution.
What I think is happening here is that it's skipping the blue screen part of a BSOD and just restarting. If so, there's probably a process running that's unique to SOT (or Xbox games), such as something from Xbox Live.
When I rebuilt my PC last year, I spent a bit of time chasing stability issues specifically with SOT, everything else seemed fine. It turned out there was a corruption with the Windows install.
Try running DISM and SFC scans and see if they find anything wrong.
Also, next time it happens, immediately open Event Viewer when your PC restarts and see if there's a critical error in your system logs that happened at the same time. This could shed some light on what caused it.

Just to echo. Event viewer is awesome. takes some figuring out, but it should help track it down.
@guildar9194 my pc was reading 75 degrees at the time of the most recent crash but it was only 40 at others

75C sounds normal to me. But again; I know very little about computers and how they run, compared to anyone with solid knowledge in the subject.
If other people with more knowledge would weigh in on that, please. :) But it sounds, to me, that your PC is not overheating.
@guildar9194 I don't know how but it was the temperature I reduced my fps and it worked perfectly. Stayed between 65 and 69 degrees. No crash played for about 3 hours.
