Anyone else getting blue screen on the start screen of the hl2 rtx demo? Worked fine a week ago. I am on the .28 nv drivers. Now it blue screens my system as soon as the loading menu comes up. Anyone else? Temps are fine as well as all other games. This did work like a week ago. Not sure. Maybe the .28 drivers?
 
I did a fresh install of win11 and everything is clean and updated with the latest versions. Bios, ME firmware...everything. No overclock, nothing. As soon as I start the game, my system reboots. WTF is wrong with this game? Every single other game I have works fine.

My hardware is 285k, 5070ti, gen4 nvme, 64gb ram, z890 motherboard. No freaking clue anymore.
 
When an exceptionally demanding game taxes your system so hard it reboots it could mean something is overheating or not getting enough power.

The thing is three weeks ago it worked fine. I played all day all night. Nothing was wrong. My system is stable in every game for hours on end.
 
Well looking around online this has been happening to other people as well. I am not alone. Not sure what changed in my system from three weeks ago. I think its driver related. Have no clue. Every single one of my other games play totally fine. My PSU is working normally. No issues except this one game.
 
Nvidia drivers have honestly been pretty bad lately. If you don't have RTX 5000, I'd try rolling back a good many versions. I think 566.14 was the last pre RTX 5000 driver so maybe try that one? Seemed like right around RTX 5000 launch driver quality went completely downhill.

566.36 is the go to driver now for everyone having issues with the 70 branch.

Just rolled back to 566.36. System became unresponsive while watching Netflix... Recovered after a few seconds then laggy. Card totally stock, didn't even have my Afterburner profile loaded (which is basically a slight undervolt). Also skipped the Nvidia App this time around, absolutely no need for it.
 
I would recommend running something like Prime95 on small or smallest FFTs - it will find any power or heat issues nearly instantly when it comes to CPU/RAM/MOBO.
If you can run P95 on small/smallest for ~5 minutes, then the only issue remaining is going to the the GPU. 99% of the time, it reboots instantly until you have appropriate settings for it to handle the draw - even at stock settings, P95 can cause a reboot

I use this as my stability test for overclocking and have for years - if P95 can run at least 5 min on small/smallest FFT, nothing else has ever made my system crash other than GPU errors. There is NO game that stresses the CPU/RAM like this does,
 
The rebooting isn't a PSU issue or a hardware issue at all, these are just issues that we've been running into on and off with recent drivers. Widely documented for weeks, months now. I could make AC:S reboot my rig on command with a driver from a month or so ago, but play flawlessly with 566.36.
