PC Reboots During Gameplay in Deep Rock Galactic with DX12

Status:	Open
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	the_soviet_ on August 27, '26

Due date:
Reported for:	S06.04 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. While at 100% power on the GPU, stay on the rig for a minute or two and observe if the PC reboots.
2. While at 85% GPU power, engage in a mission for 25-30 minutes with 4 dwarves, alt tab, open task manager, and observe if the PC reboots.
3. With DX11, engage in a mission and observe if the system crashes randomly, especially immediately after entering a mission while on a Discord call.

Explanation

Whenever i would play DRG in DX12, the game would make my PC reboot. I haven't had this issue with any other game, As of typing this, i have The Last of Us part 1 running in the background, no reboots, nothing. On DX11, it tends to reboot after 25-30mins, or not at all. i tried reinstalling drivers (fresh, using DDU), i tried lowering the power % of my gt 5060 to 85% (which temporarily fixed the issue, but when i alt-tabbed and clicked task manager to check if the temperature was fine, it rebooted my pc). I got no clue what may be causing this, since both TLOU and CP77 are running fine (although CP77 crashes, but doesn't reboot (cause of crash was access violation or something)).
