PC Full Restart when opening POE 2

Hello,

I am unable to open POE 2 anymore.
As soon as the game begins loading, my entire PC crashes and force restarts.
I was able to play for up to 5 hours without any crashes until now.

really would like some help to be able to play.
Steam is refusing a refund because I have 5 hours of playtime, even though I'm unable to play the game anymore. I don't want to refund the game if I can play it.

I am also running into this and can’t make it more than 5 minutes in game.

What’s your hardware?

I’m running:

- Intel 13600K
- 64GB RAM
- 7900 XTX

i'm running the following:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
GPU: Radeon 550
MB: MSI B550

and i'm on window's 11 24H2.

Same thing started happening yesterday. Before that I’ve played for 60+ hours w/o any issue
Computer just reboots instantly on game start.
Other Windows installation that I have on same PC works though. Can’t understand what causing the issue and why it started all of a sudden.

I9-14900k
RTX4090

Windows 23H2

Yep have the same issue. and i believe it may have something to do with windows update.
