Computer crashes ~25% AoE games I play

Post by deleted_user »

When I'm in game my computer has started just going black and restarting in middle of a game. Sometimes, rarely, the monitor will go black and then it will come back, but usually it just crashes. Need help pls, it's frustrating losing games like that and almost 3/4 games I do lose is because my comp just crashes..

this sounds like possibly sth is overheating in your PC during gaming and your pc decides to shut down to prevent hardware damage. just an idea, dont nail me down on it, had issues like that myself once on a notebook where there was sth stuck in the cooling system. maybe download a programm that checks and saves the temperature of your hardware and look if there is sth unusual after a restart.

ofc also cut be a virus or whatever, but this is one of the things to check first id guess.

QUICK EDIT: IF THIS TROLL POST IGNORE ME AND THE TEXT ABOVE ME AND EVERYTHING

If this is for real, check if you can upgrade the display drivers. Or you could uninstall the display driver and reinstall it.

Also check if there's a hardware problem (fallen GPU fan). Because it sounds like whatever is causing this is related to the GPU.

If it's Windows 10 you can go to the Start menu button, right click on it then click Event viewer. Then open 'Application and Services logs' and check if there are any Hardware Events.
Then you could check other logs too, such as Windows Logs > System etc.

IF you have a previous restore point, you could try restore the system to that point when the system didn't have this issue.

Or you could start in Safe mode and try to run some tests there.

Another option could be to open Settings > Update&Security> Recovery. There you have 2 choices: Reset the PC which will create a new user and refresh the install, and Advanced start-up in which you can reboot from another device to restore from a system image and so on.

Else return yourmom;

Yea it's almost certainly a GPU issue. Although if you wanna know for sure you can just pull your GPU and run the game with Intel integrated graphics, which are more than enough for aoe.

That's the GPU driver restarting. Nvidia?
I have the same problem. Enabling Vsync seems to have fixed it but now scrolling lags unfortunately.
I never had any issues running without Vsync on AMD cards. Vega should be released soon.
