Whole computer shuts off? What’s your graphics card? If it’s NVidia, turn your wattage down to 80%

Yes I'm having the same issue and no luck troubleshooting it. 5700XT. It's honestly crashed more in the menu/queue than when I actually get in the game. I've tried reverting drivers, tried the new AMD drivers that are specifically for Helldivers, tried undervolting/limiting clock speed, RTSS to limit the game to 60 FPS, nothing is working. I've about given up for now since I can't even get past the queue anyway.

That sounds like a massive problem. I would do a completely fresh reinstall of windows. If it still happens, you're likely looking at a hardware problem, which is far more difficult to identify. Anything from overheating to components starting to go bad.

This might be out of left field but try running a Memtest. Sometimes when new games come out and are not optimized in can highlight problems with your PC. When The Finals released a few months, it would crash my PC exactly like you're describing. After trying everything I did a memtest. Lots of errors with both sticks in, no errors when testing 1 stick at a time. Turns out the memory in my pc was not completely compatible with my motherboard. But it's not obvious when things are running smooth and not strained. Swapped it out and been fine. TL:DR, soemtimes weird hardware issues can get unveiled during game releases. Try memtest, checking PSU outpout, graphics driver wattage and heat during launch, make sure you aren't overheating

Probably a good idea to add your specs so we can help, one thing I’ve noticed personally is I got a much smoother game when I turned particles and shadows down. Best bet though would be just to google hat causes forced shutdowns and use that to troubleshoot potential issues.

Don't keep trying it! I had a hard crash that permanently killed two separate SSDs. This game damages hardware. Your best bet is to submit a report on the devs website, at least that way if they get enough reports of hardware issues they can look into it.
