Title says everything.


What have I done and did not work

- Clean the inside of the PC
- Deleted files of the 'Fetcher' folder
- Reinstalling the OS
- Update the drivers
- Ran a full PC scan for viruses/malware (nothing found btw)
- I also ran the PC in BIOS mode, the shutting down did NOT occur.

It would only shut down if it's overheating to prevent further hardware damage.
Check that all the fans/cooling ducts/heat sincs are clean.

Maybe the Power Supply it's the problem.

Almost certain you need to clean the cooling.

Do not roleplay a veteran on discord, be a veteran in game.

Try loading any other game.. if it works then cool, if not then open your PC case, get a blower, blow the dust outta the PC, then clean it with a small dry towel..

What I have done untill now

Uninstalled any mods, uninstalled GTA itself then reinstalled
Full PC scan for viruses malware etc (No results)
Cleaned my PC (It was already clean as I leave the case open)
Ran the PC on BIOS mode, nothing occurred.


Anything else? Please, I really need help.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that for atleast 3/4 months now the fan that is over the processor is only securely fastned with 3 screws. The fourth is chipped which means it cant be locked onto the motherboard.

The fan is secured to the CPU Heatsink which secures the heatsink to the CPU itself usually, by not having all 4 tightly connected it will cause the heatsink to not work optimally, thus causing cooling issues.
All depending on how old the PC is as the design changed.

I don't think overheat can occur in 5-15 seconds. it not like he is making tea. Overload of ram or related perhaps?

Yeah, only 3 are secured. But thats not the case because I chipped the other screw a few months ago and it was working fine untill now.
