[SOLVED] PC suddenly restarts while gaming.

First of all, I must say that I had the same problem for Windows, but I fixed that, unchecking the thing that Reboots system if error appears.
Here's my journalctl from last boot.

Info that might be useful:

• Kernel 6.12.8-arch1-1

• Desktop Env Hyprland 0.46.2-5

• CPU Ryzen 5 2600 3.400GHz

• GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

I checked the CPU's temp when system shuts down and it didn't seem too high(about 53°C).
The PC doesn't ever show any issue until I launch game.

Edit: I solved it, cleaning my PC from dust..

He probably meant the windows setting "automatically reboot" on BSOD

That didn't work, nevermind

I'm not sure if it's related since it's not just Arch problem now

Re: [SOLVED] PC suddenly restarts while gaming.

The probled discussed in the wiki is *not* archlinux specific but ryzen-specific (it just seems to be less prone to manifest on windows)
So yeah, look into that.

Re: [SOLVED] PC suddenly restarts while gaming.

The 2000 series Ryzens need the microcode fixes to stop falling over. Have they been applied?

Reboot feature is common with high-end stock PCs usually as a setting on BIOS that allows PC to boot itself if it went down during a power outage.

Quite possibly, this feature might be accessible to the OS?

No, they haven't, what's that?
