Summary

Hi, so I began learning ue and almost instantly got stuck at the rendering part. I try to render a small sequence on an empty map with landscape, atmosphere and a couple of cubes for testing. After the shaders compilation is done computer just restarts itself. No error, nothing.
I also work in Maya and SP. It does not happen in these programs.
I don’t think it’s a hardware problem but who knows.
I have a moderately good gpu RTX 3080TI
But my cpu sucks Ryzen 5 1600X six core and only 16gb RAM. :grimacing::woozy_face:
Thanks.

Try checking windows “Event viewer” to see if windows logged anything before the restart. You can also try installing hardware monitor & enabling the logging feature to capture hardware parameters before the crash. You can see if there is any spikes in power delivery, cpu / gpu temperature etc.

Restarts under load usually points towards your power supply being taxed beyond it’s limits.
