CS:GO crashes my computer

Thomas Armstrong · May 30, 2022

I have CS:GO installed, but havent played it in a while, so I decided to play a bit. However, when attempting to open the game, the first time setup ran through, then the game started to come up, but instead of the game booting up, my PC froze and then completely crashed after about 20-30 seconds. My monitors went blank, and my fans ramped up a lot. I held down the power button to turn it off, and when I pressed it again it just stayed blank and my fans ramped back up. I turned it off again, power cycled the PSU, and then it booted properly. Warily, I tried opening the game again, and it crashed. Only this time, the PC just rebooted without me having to do anything. Anybody have an idea of why this would happen?

1st one sounds like a total graphics driver failure and causing it to crash. What are your computer specs? Have you tried to launch any other games? Have your verified the game integrity?
