nikitaksk · ‎09-21-2025

Hi there, I’m having random hard shutdowns while playing graphics-intensive games with my Arc A750 LE.
The PC powers off instantly (no BSOD).

System specs:

GPU: Intel Arc A750 LE 8G (Graphics Driver 32.0.101.7029)
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. B450 AORUS ELITE V2 (fresh, latest bios available)
OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26100 N/A Build 26100

Fully loaded both CPU&GPU using occt for 10 min, everything seems fine, draws out max power 70ishW for CPU and 190W for GPU , temps on GPU maxed out at 84C, CPU temps are around 67C. But in games on some graphically demanding scenes (usually cut-scenes) pc just shuts down. Other scenes and less demanding games and programs work totally fine.

Any solutions or diagnostics to determine what to fix?

Thanks for any advice

Hi @nikitaksk,

Thank you for posting here in the community. To further assist you and investigate the crashing issue on your system, I need to gather more information to isolate the root cause.

Please provide the SSU log report and share it here so I can review your system's configuration.
Which digital distribution platform did you obtain the game that is experiencing crashing issues? (e.g., Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, etc.)
When did the issue first occur?
Have you made any software or hardware changes to the system recently?
What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Have you performed a clean installation using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) before installing and testing different graphics driver versions?
Which specific games or cutscenes trigger this shutdown?
If possible, can you provide a video or screen recording showing how to recreate the issue so I can observe the behavior?
What is your PSU model, wattage, and age? This is critical since instant shutdowns during GPU-intensive scenes often indicate power delivery issues.
Can you provide crash logs or dump files generated by a specific game? You may follow this guide and scroll to the "Crashing" section for step-by-step instructions. Please note that I can only investigate one game title per case - for other titles, you may submit a separate ticket so our team can assist you as soon as possible.

Based on your description, this appears to be a power delivery or thermal protection issue that's specifically triggered by certain GPU workloads.

I look forward to your response and am committed to resolving your issue promptly.

Best regards,

Randy T.
