So I’ve been playing WoW Classic for about 2 weeks, it’s been running fine before now with no issues or crashes at all. I went to start up the game today, launched world, and a few seconds later after loading into SW and Booty Bay it hard rebooted my PC, there have been no changes to the device between last night and this morning. I’ve tried scan and repair, forced launched into DirectX 11 with D3D11 command, uninstalling and reinstalling, performing windows updates and driver updates, changing FPS, scanning for direct X issues - none found, and running system scans with no issues found also. Event viewer says kernal issue ID 41. I tried launching other games like Cyberpunk 2077 which are far heavier with no rebooting issues so it appears to be purely a WoW issue and not my PC or it’s hardware.
Any suggestions on how to fix this that I haven’t already attempted would be greatly appreciated!
That just means your computer shut down without warning. That’s almost certainly hardware issue. Usual suspects are the PSU, cables, motherboard, possibly CPU, unstable electricity supply.
I would start with checking cables and reseating them to make sure everything is secure.
What are the exact PC specs?
Everything is stable and where it should be, so no issue there. And keep in mind, it’s only WoW that this is happening with and no other games, if it were an issue with my psu I would encounter the same with other games. So it’s something going on with WoW which is causing the pc to shut down without warning.
Specs are;
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 4600G w/Radeon Graphics
GPU - AMD radeon RX 7900 GRE
Motherboard - TUF Gaming A520M-Plus
RAM - 32GB
PSU - Antec NeoECO NE850G M
SSD - Seagate FireCuda 530
HDD - Seagate ST1000VM002-1ET162
Were you watching Twitch at the same time?
Ive been having similar issues with loosing connection and pc rebooting while watching twitch + playing wow.
Software cannot cause to PC to just shutdown (other than actually sending Windows command to shutdown, but that would be normal - not unexpected shutdown). as your seems to be.
Software certainly can trigger underlaying cause, and depending on exact situation it might not happen everywhere or always.
