Basically I have been playing rust for abit now (got it like last week) and was playing on a server, and my apparently my driver has stopped working then recovered but my pc restarted by it self, Then over these past few days I try to play rust and my pc restarts,

i had been playing csgo for 2 mins and it was fine so then I tried gta and it was fine until the north Yankton opening scene. is this a hardware problem? dust? over heating? Pc has been fine since last christmas so Idk what is up

Is the pc a prebuilt, laptop or something that you built yourself?

How long have you had it?

It could be that your PSU is not giving out enough power whilst playing these demanding games, hence why it's giving up and restarting the system.

What is your PC spec?

This could happen because of your graphics card crashing or maybe your PC is overheating. My friend had the same problem where his PC would overheat and turn off.

Can you give us more information? Your specs?

Try drivers, Having a look at GPU, CPU, Cooling, PSU.

Drivers are very important, Get AIO Drivers online and download component drivers.

First thing i would do is to check the temperature of the cpu or the gpu using a tool called Speccy( Look it up its very handy), if its above 60 degrees than most likely is. If it is not that then i would uninstall the most recent drive and go back to a more stable driver. Best of luck!

Your graphics card cannot handle the games you're trying to play and your CPU is crashing and restarting your computer.

You cant conclude that till you have more information.. As NVDIA has been having a couple problems with their drivers recently.
