I snagged the win10 anniversary update so i could get halo forge, and after booting the game up and messing around in the settings menu for a little less than a minute, not the game, no, my entire computer powers down. Powering it back on doesn’t give me any crash reports or error logs that normally come with a system failure like that. Has anyone else come across this yet? The game just came out, so im not expecting immediate answers, but Im sure what to do now that my hype has turned to rage. The game runs fine in the menus up until the shut down, it defaults to medium graphics but i can turn my max framerate up to 60 and have it go up to about 50-60
If it helps, some system specs
Proc: 3.5ghz AMD FX-6300 Six-Core
Video: NVIDIA GTX 760
RAM: 16 GB
HD: 2TB HDD (~1TB full)
PSU: Thermaltake SMART M650W
OS: 64-bit Win 10 Anniversary
It sounds like overheating, maybe of the GPU? if you take a look at the temperatures while playing you can see if that’s really it.
otherwise I cant think of anything 
Just grabbed Open Hardware Monitor to check, Currently Idling around ~54C, give or take three degrees. Going to see where it gets to before it crashes.
Got powered down after about 8 minutes with all settings flattened to their lowest. Temperature was at around 75C, peaked at 77C, There was a second temperature reading that went from 30C to 50C while on Halo, i want to say its for the processor, but a friend told me to get a different program which im doing now that will actually tell me what all these are. but it never broke 80, so im assuming overheating isnt the issue.
edit: 30-50 degree bar was my Graphics card. Still not high enough to be a cause for concern I dont think.
Update, After about the fifth run of the game trying to test and figure out what it might be, it didn’t crash at all, and i was about to play it for a consistant six hours before logging out for the night. Today, however, running it again had it once again power down my computer when all the diagnostics (To me, anyway) looked okay. Does anyone have any other suggestions because I’m at a loss for what to do here.
Have you opened up ‘Event Viewer’? You gotta be hitting in excess of +100C to cause a temperature related total shutdown.
I’ve checked temperature several times for all parts with a gague, and i’ve gone through the event viewer, there are no events saying there is a shutdown occuring, only that the computer is booting up after an unexpected shutdown.
half bump to see if anyone else has any suggestions. a friend said it might be a graphics driver gone faulty, that the win 10 anniversary update borked something with the drivers that is causing the meltdown, but the drivers didn’t actually update on their own with the update, and upon updating them manually im still experiencing the shutdowns, so I think I can rule out faulty graphics drivers.
