PC Freaks Out While Playing House Flipper

Yesterday night I was playing House Flipper after grabbing it on Steam Sale, and about half an hour into the game, my monitor cuts out and my PC max revs all of my fans. I didn't think much of it, so I relaunched House Flipper, this time with much lower framerate, and it happened again just five minutes into the game.  I was absolutely bewildered at what had caused this and slept for the night.

 

It's worth mentioning my PC had been running for 11 hours straight prior to playing House Flipper that night.

 

Now, onto today. I launched House Flipper from a cold boot, and not even ten minutes in, my PC does the same thing: monitor signal cuts, fans max rev.

 

I have a few theories for this:
- GPU VRAM is being maxed out

- GPU is getting too hot - GTX 1060 3GB

- CPU is getting too hot - 8600K @ 4.4GHz

- House Flipper system requirements not met for my PC

- House Flipper is unoptimised

 

What do you guys think it is that's causing my PC to have such a flip with House Flipper and what should I do to combat this?

It doesn't like your game and it wants to throw your CPU out of the windows 10. On a serious note it's probably your CPU getting too hot. Just get a nice ryzen CPU (trust me they run nice and cool compared to newer intel stuff) or go back to an older intel CPU before 5xxx. If you don't fancy either just get a decent AIO and whack thermal grizzly hydronaut or cryonaut between the cooler and cpu.

1. Shouldn't manifest this way.

2. Possible explanation.

3. Possible explanation.

4. Definitely not, your system meets the requirements.

4. That wouldn't manifest this way.

 

Another explanation would be driver issues. I'd suggest you check your GPU/CPU temperatures first though.

Alright, I'll monitor my temps through MSI Afterburner and read temps, it really does seem like it's coming down to a heat issue.
