PC restarted itself while gaming

[DatBrummie]

Hi all.

I'm not sure if this should have been posted in the gaming section, I looked and that seemed to people having problems with the games itself.

Or maybe in the hardware section, I don't know what caused it.

 

I was playing GTA V, and out of nowhere the video crashed, but the audio continued.

I tried to CTRL+ALT+DEL, but nothing happened.

 

Then my PC restarted, windows came up with the didn't shut down properly thing so I chose to start normally.

Once in windows I checked the reliability monitor and it doesn't say anything crashed.

 

Any suggestions?

keep playing till it does it again

then worry about fixing it

if it doesn't do it again..then probably just the game

Memory problems meaning not having enough or my memory being faulty?

I play Arma 3 a lot, and that's a fairly demanding game i think, and I've not noticed anything similar with that.

 

I'll play again and see if it happens again

faulty memory

I doubt gta 5 uses more then 6gb of ram at 1080p

I just played another 40 minutes and nothing happened, here's hoping it was a one off glitch

Thats usually issues with GPU drivers crashing. Instal lnewest beta drivers and it should be fixed. Thise drivers are better optimized with games that just released.
