Shows up the same for each time its happened, but with different time stamps.

I did a full system rebuild a few months back, but hadnt really played the game before then. Will have a look and see if the BIOS has any updates. Im pretty sure the PSU is fine since it doesnt happen in anything else apart from this game.

Reading up a bit about it, EventID 41 games.

The event happens when the computer powers down inexpectedly. So it's more a consequence than a cause. Could be anything, but some core component is highly unstable. There is no bug code, and it's not a 'sleep' error, or triggered by a button reset.

Update drivers and bios first (motherboard and GPU). Then run some tests on memory, CPU, and GPU separately.
