Gears 5 making my pc to restart

Gears 5
#1

Sometimes, when I open gears 5, it makes my laptop restart, Is anyone else have this problem? This hasn’t happen with other games. I have the drivers on date.

My laptops specs:
Predator g9-593
i7-7700hq 2.6
gtx 1060 6gb
16gb ram ddr4

Usually when these things happen, it’s either a sign of a bad power supply or CPU / GPU overheating, the game itself won’t reboot your your laptop.

What solution would you advise of this? Because my pc keeps restarting too once I hear the cooling fans speed up I fear that it will crash and then it does :confused:

But it only restarts for gears 5 not other games like fortnite which I never play…

Best to my knowledge Gears 5 is more demanding to hardware than Fortnight. I’d suggest either playing at lower settings or taking the PC for servicing; optionally you can install a tool like SpeedFan to monitor the CPU temp or use the Windows’ Task Manager.

I have to verify, because its just sometimes, like 2 every 5, I was monitoring the temperature while I was playing. The GPU was around 70 and the CPU around 68ish. I’ll try lowering the settings to see if it happens again.

Thanks for you answer

Thanks for the reply.
I have my settings to low/medium already

My specs are at the minimum requirements but would you suggest upgrading a specific requirement is that solved the problem? And if so, which spec should I upgrade?

I don’t upgrade is the answer, my theory is that it’s a either a faulty power supply / motherboard or CPU/GPU overheating. If that’s an option, the PC for servicing or start measuring CPU/GPU temperatures.

That didn’t fix it but a bios update did believe it or not! Cheers mate
