Game restarts entire computer while loading (Windows 10)

Post by thatfrenchyguy »

I have just downloaded this game today off steam and installed it. But, whenever I try to load the game, it freezes around 80% and restarts my computer. I am running a Windows 10 labtop, and my computer matches the system requirements for the game. It would be much appreciated if the problem could be addressed as I would love to be able to enjoy this game. (Note that the game has never successfully loaded for me.)

Your computer restarting because of a game being launched indicates there's something wrong with your computer.

Have you verified what's actually causing your computer to restart? What error is it giving that causes the restart? Is it overheating? Something else?

I would also recommend checking if your drivers are up to date - especially for graphics card.
