Hard PC Reboot Midmatch

[amaupin1098]

Sometimes during a match my PC will randomly shut down and reboot without warning. I've played several matches without issue, but after inviting my friend 2/3 matches crashed mid-match. I noticed that it often happens during the 'most intense moments' during a match. I have found that I am often able to reproduce the issue after I rejoin the match and get into another intense fight. As this is a hard PC reboot I'm not able to refer to any error messages or produce any crash dumps.

While this sounds like a hardware issue, this is the first game out of my extensive steam library I've noticed this problem, and considering this is a beta, I thought it would be best to report.

Reproduced on 3/4ths and max settings using the basic slider.
Resolution: 2560x1440p
RAM: 32gb
GPU: RTX 3090
CPU: i7-14700K

I've also recently updated my bios due to the intel microcode issue, so I should be on the latest one. That being said, I'm pretty sure if it was a CPU issue I would bluescreen instead of receiving a hard reboot mid match.

It's also notable that I'm not able to reproduce the issue using FurMark burn-in testing.

hotspot on gpu gets too hot. crank up fan curve

did you update your UEFI?

Sadly 13th and 14th gen Intels with TDP over 65W are very prone to instability.

EDIT:
sorry, didn't notice you mentioned BIOS update.

Try stresstesting your CPU and GPU at the same time. I've seen similar things, when PSU failed to deliver enough power for the system.
FurMark 1 has built in CPU burner - start it, then start FurMark Burn Test, with HWMonitor nearby to monitor your systems power usage.

I had the exact same problem, lowering a bit graphic setting and undervolting+underclocking further my gpu (3080) stabilized the situation at the expense of some performance (10-15fps), for your 3090 should be even less noticeable. You may give it a try.
