You have major problems, i notice you create a new thread constantly relating to the same problem.

Get a picture of your power supply label, make sure it is clear.


Open Event viewer in windows and see whats crashing...

@PandaH05 - Please stop creating new threads about the same problem. It won't help get answers, if anything, it'll make it harder for us to help you. Focus on one thread and I'd advise you close the others, if necessary put a link in the other threads to the one you want to focus on. If you keep opening new threads for the same thing, the mods may well shut them down.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
What are your system specs? Please add them...

It is likely overheating or something along those lines...

I haven't seen any other possible posts you've made of the issue, so next set of questions for you.

When you say "crashing"....

Does the game just crash to the desktop?
Does the system hang (game locks up or screen goes black and nothing responds) so you need to power the computer off?
Does the computer power off completely (you have to manually push the power button to turn it back on)?
Does the computer power off for just a second or so and restart on it's own?

no like when im in the middle of a game it throws me out
So the game just ends (.exe isn't running and back to desktop?), or does it kick you out to the lobby and the game is still running?

It just throws me out the game as in im back to my windows screen basically it closes the application

You should look into the Event Viewer to see if it's giving any specific errors for the application closing. Check the application logs in the event viewer next time the game crashes to desktop, hopefully you'll see an error that's linked to the game itself or maybe it could be a video driver issue - this way at least you can narrow down the error and search from there to see if there's a fix.

Not to sound dulb lol but how do i do that
Type EVENT VIEWER in the search bar in W10.

Google is an amazing tool. :)


EDIT: You are on the latest GPU driver, right? Nvidia released one the day the BR version was released...and i assume when the game was released too...

Yikes... 29A total on the 12V for a 600W PSU?? Hopefully that isn't an actual true dual rail or that may be the issue. Your card uses up to 165W which is 13.75A... one rail has 14A the other 15A... if there is anything worthwhile plugged in along with it, I can see the card/PSU flip out....again, assuming it is a true dual rail PSU (meaning there are actual limits on the rails).

If it isn't the issue, I'd get a new PSU pronto. Hell even a Corsair CX650M would be better than this unit. :)

Being a 980 it might use more than that.

But yeah the corsair should be able to handle it...

Here's a review of that psu

Power supply is sold as a 600 watt unit, but it only provides 29 amps (348 watts) on 12 volt and limits its self to 140 watts on +5V and +3.3V which gives it a capacity of 488 watts! OP, you may have just bought this PSU, but it is an over rated OLD design. (when I say old design, think early '90's automobile) It proudly displays ATX 12V 2,0, which was approved in 2003. We're up to ATX12V v2.4 which was approved in 2013.

If you look at that CX650M, it provides 54 Amps on its 12V rail, which is 648 watts!

Do I think it's the PSU's fault? Maybe. You have a collection of parts that are getting long on the tooth and it makes it hard to figure out what's causing this problem.

After you install the latest drivers...., if that doesn't fix it, lets look at your GPU. What is the exact model? I just looked at the review of the Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming 4, which can pull 204 watts or 17 amps during gaming which is more power than your 12V2 can provide.
