If your PC is crashing, then game have nothing to do with it. Check hardware and hardware-related sftware (OS, drivers), cause they are only sources of possible PC crash. And no, "other games work fine" is not an excuse.

Check even viewer in windows at times where crash occurs. If crash comes with BSOD - check bsod reader. If this type of actions are outside of your understanding, then try clean install (full removal of OS and cleaning drive before installation of OS and drivers) and try to start game wiht minimum possible software launched (no blls and whistles. Just OS, drivers and game). If crashes still occur - then you need to check hardware, and possibly go to professionals.

Game crashing back to windows.. one thing

Game actually crashed the PC so the pc shut down or lock up totally. That is not a game issue. That is a hardware/driver issue.

What is your computer specs?
How is the cooling on your computer, idle temps?

You overclocking? You tested your ram? Any recent changes to hardware?

is it only this game and no others? otherwise id assume your graphics card might be frying

Check how much resources the game uses and lower the settings in the options.
Did you install on C:\ or on another drive? check your hardware related drivers and programs. Check NVIDIA if you have it. Other than uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh copy that's all I have for you unfortunately.

They either incompetent or milk you for money.

If you dont know technical side of stuff, dont assume knowledge. In modern Windows application do not have permision to operate directly with hardware and basically operates as a module. Meaning if application experience errors, however dramatic they are, it only crash application. So if your PC is crashed - you got issues with something hardware-related. Would it be hardware itself, or drivers or OS.

And also, my own experience in IT tells me one thing for sure - common denominator is most likely to be the culprit. Meaning - if you are sure people who "repaired" your PC are competent and honest, then it is YOU doing something with your PC, that results in crashing.

I have not seen application crashing PC since windows 7. Ever.

P.S.
Absolute majority of people never ever needed to have their PC repaired (at least since 2010). That very fact, that you did is very big red flag.

I disagree... i had several pc crashes last year. Turns out it was a software conflict. I got rid of the program and never had any issues since that.

Software was hardware-related, isnt it?

Here is the thing. Do you remember how "elden ring friend GPUs"? First order thinking is exactly that. Reality is nvidia ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up with drivers. And guess what, drivers are exactly hardware-related.

Anywho, what software created a conflict? And what OS did you used?

I figured out what was causing it for me. In the game options theres a box that was auto selected saying force v sycn in menu's. I unselected that box and it works fine now.

i have v-sync on and my game dont crash.

its fine, you have found a solution. but i think thats only a part of the problem.
