My computer restarts when using the editor

Getting Started & Setup

The issue happens when using the editor (4.26.2) or opening the build itself. Sometimes it works, but when minimizing and opening the editor screen again, the PC shuts down. It feels more like a Hard Reset than an actual reset. Sometimes peripherals connected by USB take some time to be powered on.

Tried:

Changing DirectX parameters (both editor and build)

Updating GPU Drivers

Using Old GPU drivers

Stressed test every hardware on my PC, not shutting down (HDs, SSDs, RAM, CPU, GPU).

Heating is not the issue either, the computer has a watercooler.

Capping the editor to 60/30 fps won’t work either.

Switching the “Automatically Restart” from the System Properties to null does not prevent the computer from shutting down.

It only happens with the project and its steam build. This is NOT happening to the rest of my colleagues. Event viewer only shows Kernel-Power issue.

Help Please
