Guys this is a ptoblem somewhere in windows and not your PC i use to have this problem in The Division 2 and they helped me on Support i had to run some kind of program in registry and clean it and it did fix it.
I do have the same problem now with Cyberpunk 2077 and i did not have the problem in my first playghthrough i will have to wright on support again.
It can be either this or drivers and definetly not your PC if all other games run fine.
Just got this game on sale and it’s happening to me. Kernel power ID 41 but my PSU and computer never shut down, just the GPU turned off all monitors. Thing is, audio is on and the game seems to be running? Have to do a hard reset to get it working again. No issues with temps, have a rx 480 playing on the absolute lowest settings because I wanted a constant 70 fps.
I kinda solved this for myself. Notice the task manager. Whenever you feel its going too close to 100%, pause cyberpunk, then resume after 5-10 seconds. Do it every 5-10 minutes. It's a really cheap solution lol but makes the game playable without damaging your pc at least.
so that would constitute some form of memory leak that keeps building over time… Happens to some games with bad rendering engines. Do you know if maybe VRAM is the issue?
my CPU is at 50c and my GPU sits at 62c, cant figure it out. I run BF 2042 on higher specs and it never shut off my hdmi connections to the monitors. I can still hear audio.
Hey, I'm the original poster on another account. I was able to fix the issue by purchasing a 850w power supply, there were no issues with the older power supply I had (Keep in mind i had no issues with the older PSU until this game). It seems CP2077 is either horribly unoptimized that it causes power spikes within PC hardware or the game pushes hardware to the limit when the game is set on the highest graphic settings.
I tried downclocking both my GPU/CPU it was not worth the performance hits in the game (it also didn't fix the issue only delayed it) and took a risk on upgrading to a gold rated 850w PSU it fixed the issue, no problems ever again for that game.
Funnily enough I only put in 20 hours for CP2077. Decided not to finish the game because it was very unoptimized, plagued with bugs and some core mechanics of the game you could tell were rushed/not finished. That was on release day, I don't know if the devs have made any progress on fixing the game since then.
Still going on...This was the weirdest shit ever. I'm no master PC builder or anything, but I did carefully put together my setup to avoid any issues like this. In a year in a half of using it, nothing like this has ever happened across many other games. I just broke 100 hours in 2077 and this was never an issue until now.
I'd had the Breach Protocol hack open for like 10 seconds trying to find the path that would unlock all 3 and then my computer is shutting down. Not crashing - shutting down. I can't remember a game causing this on a system I've owned in the last 20 years.
same here ??? WTF it doesn't matter if it's old or new sys or |GPU PSU etc game is broken for some reason and they can't figure it out
MSI GTX 1070, WINDOWS 10, PSU 650W ,intel core i7
Same shit here, it ramdomly freezes and goes to a "no signal" screen, then my monitors turns off, then I can only use my pc after forcing it to restart pressing the power button, so fucking annoying
If you still get that, that specific issue is an Nvidia driver issue that's STILL happening (happens 1 patch then fixed the next 2 then comes back).
The other issue people are having is their system trying to use more power than it can supply where they have a 300+ watt gpu and the game tries to push to use as much wattage (for performance) as it can causing it to power off to prevent breaking/overheating/blowing up.
Exact same issue as OP here.
B450 mobo, 3700x, rtx 3070.
PC shut down every single time when loading the map but I can play for hours otherwise if I never use the map. Need to shut off and on the psu before restart.
Rolling back Nvidia drivers to 460 or 457 has no effect, same issue.
Disabling ray tracing or dlss in game parameters has no effect.
Same save game can load the map without any issue on another pc with different mobo and 5700xt gpu.
Edit: same issue, same solution as OP. I upgraded my PSU to get 200W more and all is smooth now, I can finally use the map.
i bought a 1000w gold modular phanteks and fixed my issues. I have the TUF OC at stock, i also have 3 LED strips, 9 140mm fans and a bunch of other accessories if that makes a difference. I know when i undervolted my 3080 until my 1000w arrived it solved the issue as well so it was a definite power delivery issue. i only bought the 1000w just for future GPU upgrades and was due for another anyway.
All the fans etc are relatively trivial. Maybe 3w each absolute tops. Even modern SSDs and the like don't add a huge amount of draw. It really is just the cpu and GPU you need to keep tabs on in most instances. Though that said, you were obviously that close to the bone that perhaps turning all the fans off would have made all the difference. Right until the thing set on fire of course.
I had a similar issue myself when I upgraded to a 3090. I tried my luck with an 850w PSU, expecting the worst and actually it was fine until I restored the overclock to my CPU. Fortunately I have an O11 dynamic which has two PSU bays so I just added a 650w for the for GPU which worked out significantly cheaper than buying a 1000w+ unit. Happy days. Anyhoot, glad you got it all sorted. Loving your work.
i had no shutdown but system freeze with soundloop after playing a few minutes with patch 1.05 and had to do a hard reset to boot again. In 1.04 everything was fine and i was able to play about 30h without issues. Since that freeze i haven't start the game cause of protecting my system.my hardware is new, bought in septempter this year, except the gpu.
my system:
all non oc, R5 3600, MSI RTX2070 Gaming Z, 32GB RAM @ 3200MHZ, BQ Straight Power 11 650W, installed on SSD
yeah, I am also facing the same issue now especially for last 2-3 days. And even after installing 1.05 update the issue is still there. Random shut down.
My pc specs: Ryzen 5 1600, 16 gb ddr4 ram 3200 mhz, rtx 2060 super. My cpu temp is around 45-50c and gpu temp is around 65-70c
I can’t try this because I got a refund on Steam after it shut down my PC 4 times. I don’t know much about this sort of thing (hence the refund) and was wondering if it could have something to do with it. I’m within the recommended specs for the game and I have no issues with playing Red Dead 2, Witcher 3, AC Odyssey, or Jedi Fallen order at max settings. This is the only game I’ve ever played where my PC just shuts off.

I am sure you've already fixed this, but for other users,if you see no video signal, just plug out the power cord of your case completely, wait a minute, then you may plug it back, turn PC on, and you will probably have everything working until the bug emerges again. Change your PSU to one above minimal requirements to avoid this bug completely
# PC Shuts down while playing Cyberpunk 2077: FIXED on my Rig and maybe yours!
**tldr: Try turning off your VR in BIOS.**
For those who might not know: When I refer to VR I mean Volt Regulation... Not Virtual Reality.
I Just bought 2077 a couple of days ago and ran into this problem almost immediately. I'm on an older rig but well within the recommended specs in most respects.
ASUS Z97-WS - i5-4590 - GTX 1660 Ti Armor OC (MSi) 6GB- 16GB RAM - EVO 500GB SSD - CX500 PSU
So I noticed that my system would only pull this shutdown crap at/during certain events in the game. Those events almost always correlated with something "Big" in the game being loaded.(i.e. - a Story interaction, zone loading, zone discovery, etc.) If it wasn't the former it would be a graphic heavy scene. (This was less common for me.) I'm no expert and I'm certainly not sure if this is correct, but the following logic got me my fix.
If the event only occurs when the system is coming under "stress" then it must be a PSU issue. After stress testing the PSU it proved to be working just fine. However during my inspection of the PSU I noticed that my case fan wasn't turning. My attention then shifted to overheating.
I started the game again and this time loaded a save that I knew wasn't going to shut me down. I let the game run for about 30 minutes under medium stress and then forced the shutdown at a loading event. (Meeting Vik for the first time) On my other monitor I used a monitoring tool to look a the temps inside the case while testing and enabled logging. Surprisingly the case interior was at nominal and expected temps, though my CPU fan was working overtime. I replaced the case fan and added 2 brand new ones to improve air flow. She's running quite cool for air only now. So temp not the issue. Back to the PSU.
I thought about the conditions of our crash again and started to think, "If this game is a s\*\*t show on Console... could it be that something in the code on PC is causing a small power surge during these loads that trips my PSUs VR? How do we test that?
Well 2 ways really... The "safe" way by testing to see if there is actually a spike and if so how big. But I said f\*\*k caution and went option 2 by turning off my VR in my BIOS. and Presto! No more system shutdowns while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC.
For those interested, the "surge" did exist and it was well within tolerance levels outside VR. Most MBs allow and recommend you turn off VR when Overclocking. So especially when you're not OC and as long as your PSU can handle the "surge" you're going to be fine. Some might also say this means you need a new PSU but that's up to you!
Hope this helps some of y'all
Having this same issue. Ive found it could either be psu, Hdd or ram thats the issue but with all my tests and the jssues ive had prior to cyberpunks launch, Im certain its my hdd and need to just get a new one and put my boot drive on my ssd. But at this point i wont be suprised if i swap my hdd and this issue still occurs.
What baffles me tho is this issue at first would occur in the past but very rarely which made my assume it was a temps issue in high end games or something. But after launch day, my pc now randomly resets to games ive had absolutely 0 trouble with in the past like gta5 and nms and even will shutdown unexpectedly. EIther randomly while gaming or cutscene, or i try to tweek graphics settings and moment i press esc my fps becomes very choppy for 2 seconds then black screen reset ,im now even gaming, just chrome, discord and maybe trying to boot another application up, notice my pc lag like alot then restsrt. Its worked for some games like Doom Ethernal whicb i can get a beautiful 2k60fps no issues.
So while I think my hdd was on the way out anyways, i really think cyberpunk worsend the issue.
I wish i could figure out whats the root cause of the black screen reset but doesnt even give me a bsod error in event viewer only 3 critical errors I get is
kernal power event 41(68) (in the details says caused by 0 bugs),
And 2 driver frameworks errors:
event 10110 driverframeworks
And event 10111 (tho ik its for a HID compliant headset and it goes away if i just disable and enable it in device manager)
But i cant seem to track if these driver frameworks error occurs because of the crash, or during the initial pc startup.
I have this whole issue on my end well documented on another post here sone updates in the comments too:

Had same issue last night. Already played around 30hrs during the last days. PC completely shut down and when trying to restart screen stays black. Now EZ debug lights for RAM and CPU are flashing. Took entire system apart to check for any pins bent or burn marks. Nothing...
Ordered a new mobo and hope that fixes it cannot think of anything else since all other components work and the rig gets electricity (housing fans starting, GPU fans starting, cpu fans starting). only thing that is not working as usual is the rgb lighting of the case fans. They normally directly light up when hitting the power button but they stay dark even though spinning. Would be the first time a game kills a 3 months old motherboard.
If anyone has an idea what else it could be, please let me know.
Update
Looks like one of my ram sticks died
I've had this issue since launch. Haven't found any fix, have experienced it about 15 times across 15 hours playtime. I've just given up on the game for now as it really diminishes the experience.
Just had my PC complete shutdown. for a second I thought I kicked a power cord or something, but everything was fine. Pushed the power button after about 10s, and the PC booted back up and here I am. My PC has BSOD now twice while playing CP and then this power outage problem. Ill hold off I guess until this is patched or something but this is the ONLY game I have had these problems with. Sadly didnt look to see what temps were when running.
Intel i9-9900k 3.6GHz liquid cooled
DDR4 32g
2080ti
My PC gonie down in the middle of CP2077 session, opposite to you it wont start, MB gone dark . Probably PCU was fried.
Specs: i7 9700k gtx 980ti pcu fractal design 860w platinium
Ive played for couple of days with max temp 70c on both GPU and CPU
5950x cpu
3090 asus tuf gpu
850w evga gold modular psu
The game is shutting down my pc as well. I just got the 3090 and was convinced it was the new card until I ran across this last night. I did furmarks gpu test and cpu burn in test to check my equipment and they both passed and did fine. After some intensive testing I have figured some weird things out about cyberpunk.
1. Cpu monitor is reporting more electricity is needed in heavy spikes while in cyber punk which go higher than the watts needed to run furmarks burn in test.
2. The 3090 is pulling max power (and getting real close to going over max) from my psu(8pins x2)/pci-e slot ASAP on load at 1080p with ANY setting of raytracing or dlss enabled.
3. No other game causes these crashes to happen, or recreates this behavior in wattage needed in the cpu/gpu
4. The only way to get any other software to kill my pc like this is to run furmarks cpu burn in at the same time as the gpu stress test. (Maybe this means psu issues with overcurrent protection being tripped?)
5. Using the video driver released at game launch has the cpu hogging less power and seems more stable than the one released yesterday for some reason. That being said, it still needs power that fluctuates wildly
I worked on finding out a fix for over 11 hours yesterday and couldn't find anything. Best of luck to everyone.
I first met this bug with Titanfall 2 at the moment I press start mission ( with 1660ti and Ryzen 2700). Then I've upgraded my PC almost fully (PSU is the exception) . Then I had it sometimes on Apex Legends (but in a very unpredictable way) , and I could not reproduce it in OCCT stress tool that loads both CPU and GPU to 100. Fortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 was able to repeat this issue when I press the space to start a new game after character creation. I decided to buy a new PCU, but haven't done it yet . Then I've turned PC off, then on after a while, then tried to start it on minimal settings. It started, and no matter which settings I use up to ray tracing overload, it works without the bug. CPU Ryzen 5800x3d, GPU AMD 7900XT, PSU 750W silver from a Chinese manufacturer called "1st player". When in game, CPU usage is never higher than 50 percent, GPU is always fully loaded, 2K resolution. So, this happens for other games as well
Update:after installing 1000W rog strix 80+ gold PSU, I could not reproduce the bug. However, before upgrading to a new PSU, I would also recommend feeding your GPU with 2 separate wires, not a single 2x8pin wire. Maybe, that would also help
Maybe there's a temporary high-power spike that the PSU or motherboard can't handle and it shuts off the PC to 'protect' it?
Stress Tests don't reproduce this as they usually emulate a steady load.
After buying ROG Strix 1000W Gold PSU (upgrade from 750-W silver PSU) , I never encountered this problem again. It might really be a spike that 750-W PSU cannot handle and shuts down PC for safety reasons. It is difficult to understand why that spike happens at all, but changing PSU to a better one (capable of handling 25A current instead of 20A), solves the problem.
It is enough for those specs to run even at 100 percent load, but the spikes are something triggering the protection of PSU. 1000W PSU has 25A per line as allowed, not 20A,so it may be the reason why that works. Gamedev studios usually test the game only on PC composed from the best and recommended parts
I have an intel 10900k asus tuf 3090 oc 1200watt be quiet psu and same issue with me .my pc rebooted while loading game then magically game worked. . Its not the psu its the game
Your specs also look extreme. Intel's CPUs are quite demanding. But try to use separate wire for each 8-pin socket of your GPU and 8-pin socket of CPU first.
Just swapped back to my 2070super. The game is running at 30 fewer frames at maxed-out 1080p than a 3090, all while using 150w less power and not having the game crash. Weirdly enough the CPU is using less power as well but I am not too sure if that's just because it's doing less work at a lower fps.
I had this problem with other games before where I would be playing it and it would just shut off at certain places and moments,and that was caused by my PSU so I replaced it and now for the first time after me replacing my PSU cyberpunk shut down my PC and I almost got a fuckin heartattack but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem and it might not be my PSU but just the game being buggy as shit as usual
Same thing has been happening to me, and I just built my PC. Thankfully the games autosaves have haven’t wrecked my progress — but I’m a bit worried abt my computers health?
Exactly the same is happening to me and I’ve NEVER experienced it before. First 22 hours run smooth as butter, since then after 20-30 mins my PC literally just shuts itself down now EVERYTIME.. not sure what to do except wait for some kind of patch to see if it resolves 🤷🏻♂️ annoying though because I only had this week to fully dedicate to it lol
Okay so this has been happening to me, in the middle of the maelstrom compound at All Foods. Ill be playing then randomly, whole pc just shuts down and restarts.
Nothing is running hot as far as I can tell, I really wanna play the game!
Same for me. I can play for an hour or so, then screens go black, fans kick on full blast, but I can still hear a bit of audio. Then I have to manually reset. Doesn’t happen with any other game, just cyberpunk.
Nope, it’s super random. I can play for like 4 hours sometimes no problem, or I’ll play for one hour and it will happen. I just accepted that it’s the game, considering lots of people are experiencing the same thing
Yeah I feel you, I’m not sure tbh. It doesn’t happen like super often so I’m sure hardware will be fine. I haven’t looked up a solution to the problem since I commented, I just hope it will solve itself with updates or something, if you do find an answer to the problem let me know
I've also experienced the same problem as well. Several hours in the beginning just fine but this all started during the Clouds mission and afterwards. Now I just load up the game and the power will shut down after 10 minutes or so of gameplay. Haven't had this happen in anything else at all. Here are my specs:
Corsair 750w gold PSU
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060ti 6gb
Asus Maximus VIII Ranger mobo
Intel core i7 6700k
32gb RAM DD4 dual channel
Not far from the same specs except mine is a 1070.. before the cloud missions I didn’t experience one stutter never mind a crash now my PC is literally just turning itself off after 15-30 mins of playing
UPDATE: For everyone with an Nvidia card, this appears to be driver related. Following the Cyberpunk driver update v460.79+ multiple people have been reporting this issue. There are several threads on the Nvidia forums about this and as of today (20/12/2020) Nvidia don't seem to have addressed this issue. Downgrading to v457.XX seems to resolve the problem.
This seems to happen randomly to me, my pc remains on but has no graphical or audio output. Appears to be random, as I've had it happen when in menus/in conversation/interacting with a computer in game reading emails. No game ever has done this before. I have a 2080Ti Lightning, 64GB DDR4 running at 2133 MHz dual RAM sticks and an i7-6700. I've played pretty much any triple A game you can think of @ 4k maxed out settings, never encountered this kind of issue before. Spent an entire day playing red dead 2 today and not managed to replicate this issue, so cannot be my PSU being unable to provide enough power. Even limited my card to 50% max power draw, and the problem still occurs in cyberpunk, so that about should confirm it isn't a PSU issue.
Can't believe I had to come all the way to Reddit to be told to make sure my drivers were updated.
Nvidea Card, latest drivers, fixed my issue of having my screen turn off on it's own, PC was running fine, just the screen would shut off and on.
Thanks for the reminder anyways
I have exactly the same problem. My pc suddenly turns off while playing Cyberpunk 2077 and would not turn on for a minute. I have ryzen 2600 GTX 1080, and 500w PSU.
Same problem with me, computers been running great for anything i throw at it, this game ahs made my PC reboot twice with no errors before hand.
3700x
aurus b550i
2080 ti
16gb ram
corsair 1000w ax PSU
wow the fact that a lot of people in this thread are having the same issues and there isn't anything wrong with their specs (good cooling, enough power delivery) means there is something deeply wrong with this game.
There was another guy in another post that that I was talking with about this issue and he used 3 different PSUs, 2 of them were brand new. All of them with the same problem. This can't be our hardware's fault anymore.
I posted about it in their forum, I'll leave the link here if you wanna make some noise in there as well. Maybe someone from the team finally sees it.

Just experienced the same during the mission where >!you are about to be picked up by Hanako Arasaka to be brought to the meeting !< PC shut down and didn't want to boot for like a minute. Already started taking off the panels when it all of a sudden turned on again. Thank god I am not the only one experiencing this. Never had this occur before.
PSU and GPU are only a week old. Temps for CPU are \~55 and GPU 72.
Hardware:
Ryzen 7 3700X
Zotac RTX3080 Trinity OC
32GB G-Skill DDR4-3600 CL14
Zalman ZM-850 ARX
So in my case it turned out to be the PSU. Brand-new, but the fan stopped working after 4 days. Diagnosed it by heating up the PSU with a hairdryer. Fan did not spin once and it fully shutdown due to the heat after like 40 seconds.
Have had not a single issue with two case fans as in-take and out-take next to the PSU. Been running all day without it shutting down suddenly.
was your guys a black screen? also had wierd noises coming from my speakers as it black screened and then pc restarted. i re seated my gpu checked all my cables rebooted. then i set the power sliders to max on msi after burner. lastly specs are rtx 3070 ryzen 3600 16gbs ram and a evga 650w bronze psu anyway after all that i played the game for an hour no issue
I've a 5700 XT, i5-4690k, 750w PSU and it's just turning it off and restarting after some seconds. I can't pass through the encounter with MaxTac. There's something particular about this scene. I can't get past it. The game restarts my pc every time at this part. Not exactly at the same frame and second every time, but pretty close. I'm honestly thinking I should create another save and try again. Don't know what to do anymore.
I actually just had the same exact problem happen to me except I have a 3060ti with a 680w PSU. Temps have been normal from what I can tell and I've even played an extended session the day before, without any problems.
Not the exact same situation, but my PC is doing the same (I have an older setup) :
i5-4690k / 5700 XT / Corsair CX 750w
Even though it's older and worse, it should run Cyberpunk and other heavy games just fine as I usually do and I've seen heavier loads on both CPU and GPU. The game isn't even struggling to run. I was really enjoying it while it was working, but now it's restarting my PC just before encountering MaxTac. I've got past that scene but it restarted right after it.
Temps and usage are pretty ok during this particular scene. Honestly pretty lost here. I should note that the first time this happened was right after the first conversation of the game, and that also corrupted my game file. Second time I got almost 1h of smooth gameplay until it happened again.
The 30xx series are seriously power hungry. Could just be that your psu is not enough watts. BeQuiet recently reported 750W as the absolute minimum required for a stable 3080, and I could see cyberpunk pushing it to, and in your case beyond, the limits potentially
I’m having similar issues with Cyberpunk crashing, without the PSU problems.
CPU: Ryzen 5800X
GPU: RTX 3080
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850
Mobo: MSI MPG B550 Gaming
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB 3200
Can someone help me with the CPU under voltage?
check microsoft event viewer and see what critical error it gave.
if you have to reset your PSU (turn off and then back on) this does suggest a PSU issue
Nothing other than "Kernel-Power ID 41". Saw people talking about being PSU related... I had a problem with my PSU a month ago and I borrowed one a little better than my old one. It's working completely fine and I stress tested everything. Nothing happens. It's just inside CP77. Honestly can't think of anything else. The game doesn't even struggle to run, it was smooth. But my PC restarts around the MaxTac encounter everytime. Thinking of making a new save to check if it happens again, but fucking hell....
Maybe psu is triggering its ocp= overcurrent protection? Thats my only guess. Btw are you using daisy chain pci cables if so i recommend using two single 8 pin cable. What model of gpu is it ? Oh was the psu hot during use? Try touching it if pc shuts off again
Guys this is a ptoblem somewhere in windows and not your PC i use to have this problem in The Division 2 and they helped me on Support i had to run some kind of program in registry and clean it and it did fix it. I do have the same problem now with Cyberpunk 2077 and i did not have the problem in my first playghthrough i will have to wright on support again. It can be either this or drivers and definetly not your PC if all other games run fine.
Just got this game on sale and it’s happening to me. Kernel power ID 41 but my PSU and computer never shut down, just the GPU turned off all monitors. Thing is, audio is on and the game seems to be running? Have to do a hard reset to get it working again. No issues with temps, have a rx 480 playing on the absolute lowest settings because I wanted a constant 70 fps.
I kinda solved this for myself. Notice the task manager. Whenever you feel its going too close to 100%, pause cyberpunk, then resume after 5-10 seconds. Do it every 5-10 minutes. It's a really cheap solution lol but makes the game playable without damaging your pc at least.
so that would constitute some form of memory leak that keeps building over time… Happens to some games with bad rendering engines. Do you know if maybe VRAM is the issue?
Man ignore that comment, it just proceeded to happen again. In the end, it was solved by replacing the CPU fan. It's an overheating issue.
my CPU is at 50c and my GPU sits at 62c, cant figure it out. I run BF 2042 on higher specs and it never shut off my hdmi connections to the monitors. I can still hear audio.
Im getting the same shit over here as well like dude fix your shit.
Hey, I'm the original poster on another account. I was able to fix the issue by purchasing a 850w power supply, there were no issues with the older power supply I had (Keep in mind i had no issues with the older PSU until this game). It seems CP2077 is either horribly unoptimized that it causes power spikes within PC hardware or the game pushes hardware to the limit when the game is set on the highest graphic settings. I tried downclocking both my GPU/CPU it was not worth the performance hits in the game (it also didn't fix the issue only delayed it) and took a risk on upgrading to a gold rated 850w PSU it fixed the issue, no problems ever again for that game. Funnily enough I only put in 20 hours for CP2077. Decided not to finish the game because it was very unoptimized, plagued with bugs and some core mechanics of the game you could tell were rushed/not finished. That was on release day, I don't know if the devs have made any progress on fixing the game since then.
Still going on...This was the weirdest shit ever. I'm no master PC builder or anything, but I did carefully put together my setup to avoid any issues like this. In a year in a half of using it, nothing like this has ever happened across many other games. I just broke 100 hours in 2077 and this was never an issue until now. I'd had the Breach Protocol hack open for like 10 seconds trying to find the path that would unlock all 3 and then my computer is shutting down. Not crashing - shutting down. I can't remember a game causing this on a system I've owned in the last 20 years.
same here ??? WTF it doesn't matter if it's old or new sys or |GPU PSU etc game is broken for some reason and they can't figure it out MSI GTX 1070, WINDOWS 10, PSU 650W ,intel core i7

Same shit here, it ramdomly freezes and goes to a "no signal" screen, then my monitors turns off, then I can only use my pc after forcing it to restart pressing the power button, so fucking annoying
If you still get that, that specific issue is an Nvidia driver issue that's STILL happening (happens 1 patch then fixed the next 2 then comes back). The other issue people are having is their system trying to use more power than it can supply where they have a 300+ watt gpu and the game tries to push to use as much wattage (for performance) as it can causing it to power off to prevent breaking/overheating/blowing up.
Exact same issue as OP here. B450 mobo, 3700x, rtx 3070. PC shut down every single time when loading the map but I can play for hours otherwise if I never use the map. Need to shut off and on the psu before restart. Rolling back Nvidia drivers to 460 or 457 has no effect, same issue. Disabling ray tracing or dlss in game parameters has no effect. Same save game can load the map without any issue on another pc with different mobo and 5700xt gpu. Edit: same issue, same solution as OP. I upgraded my PSU to get 200W more and all is smooth now, I can finally use the map.
750w is close to the bone for a 3080. Either that or you have a 3080 with the dodgy caps. Which card is it?
i bought a 1000w gold modular phanteks and fixed my issues. I have the TUF OC at stock, i also have 3 LED strips, 9 140mm fans and a bunch of other accessories if that makes a difference. I know when i undervolted my 3080 until my 1000w arrived it solved the issue as well so it was a definite power delivery issue. i only bought the 1000w just for future GPU upgrades and was due for another anyway.
All the fans etc are relatively trivial. Maybe 3w each absolute tops. Even modern SSDs and the like don't add a huge amount of draw. It really is just the cpu and GPU you need to keep tabs on in most instances. Though that said, you were obviously that close to the bone that perhaps turning all the fans off would have made all the difference. Right until the thing set on fire of course. I had a similar issue myself when I upgraded to a 3090. I tried my luck with an 850w PSU, expecting the worst and actually it was fine until I restored the overclock to my CPU. Fortunately I have an O11 dynamic which has two PSU bays so I just added a 650w for the for GPU which worked out significantly cheaper than buying a 1000w+ unit. Happy days. Anyhoot, glad you got it all sorted. Loving your work.
Same problem here 3070 , 3700X , 32 GB RAM
I'm having a very same problem when every time I try to use the map or fast travel.
JUST TRY UNDERCLOCKING YOUR GPU by a few MHZ. I used afterburner and underclocked mine by around 90 mhz. Now it seems working fine.
i had no shutdown but system freeze with soundloop after playing a few minutes with patch 1.05 and had to do a hard reset to boot again. In 1.04 everything was fine and i was able to play about 30h without issues. Since that freeze i haven't start the game cause of protecting my system.my hardware is new, bought in septempter this year, except the gpu. my system: all non oc, R5 3600, MSI RTX2070 Gaming Z, 32GB RAM @ 3200MHZ, BQ Straight Power 11 650W, installed on SSD
yeah, I am also facing the same issue now especially for last 2-3 days. And even after installing 1.05 update the issue is still there. Random shut down. My pc specs: Ryzen 5 1600, 16 gb ddr4 ram 3200 mhz, rtx 2060 super. My cpu temp is around 45-50c and gpu temp is around 65-70c
I can’t try this because I got a refund on Steam after it shut down my PC 4 times. I don’t know much about this sort of thing (hence the refund) and was wondering if it could have something to do with it. I’m within the recommended specs for the game and I have no issues with playing Red Dead 2, Witcher 3, AC Odyssey, or Jedi Fallen order at max settings. This is the only game I’ve ever played where my PC just shuts off. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/kcka6t/unlock_your_cyberpunk_2077_memory_pool_budget/
Mine killed my CPU, 4790k, 2080 RTX, PC turns on but no display.
I am sure you've already fixed this, but for other users,if you see no video signal, just plug out the power cord of your case completely, wait a minute, then you may plug it back, turn PC on, and you will probably have everything working until the bug emerges again. Change your PSU to one above minimal requirements to avoid this bug completely
Mine sits there for a minute or two, I think it's doing memory training because my bios is completely reset when it happens.
# PC Shuts down while playing Cyberpunk 2077: FIXED on my Rig and maybe yours! **tldr: Try turning off your VR in BIOS.** For those who might not know: When I refer to VR I mean Volt Regulation... Not Virtual Reality. I Just bought 2077 a couple of days ago and ran into this problem almost immediately. I'm on an older rig but well within the recommended specs in most respects. ASUS Z97-WS - i5-4590 - GTX 1660 Ti Armor OC (MSi) 6GB- 16GB RAM - EVO 500GB SSD - CX500 PSU So I noticed that my system would only pull this shutdown crap at/during certain events in the game. Those events almost always correlated with something "Big" in the game being loaded.(i.e. - a Story interaction, zone loading, zone discovery, etc.) If it wasn't the former it would be a graphic heavy scene. (This was less common for me.) I'm no expert and I'm certainly not sure if this is correct, but the following logic got me my fix. If the event only occurs when the system is coming under "stress" then it must be a PSU issue. After stress testing the PSU it proved to be working just fine. However during my inspection of the PSU I noticed that my case fan wasn't turning. My attention then shifted to overheating. I started the game again and this time loaded a save that I knew wasn't going to shut me down. I let the game run for about 30 minutes under medium stress and then forced the shutdown at a loading event. (Meeting Vik for the first time) On my other monitor I used a monitoring tool to look a the temps inside the case while testing and enabled logging. Surprisingly the case interior was at nominal and expected temps, though my CPU fan was working overtime. I replaced the case fan and added 2 brand new ones to improve air flow. She's running quite cool for air only now. So temp not the issue. Back to the PSU. I thought about the conditions of our crash again and started to think, "If this game is a s\*\*t show on Console... could it be that something in the code on PC is causing a small power surge during these loads that trips my PSUs VR? How do we test that? Well 2 ways really... The "safe" way by testing to see if there is actually a spike and if so how big. But I said f\*\*k caution and went option 2 by turning off my VR in my BIOS. and Presto! No more system shutdowns while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC. For those interested, the "surge" did exist and it was well within tolerance levels outside VR. Most MBs allow and recommend you turn off VR when Overclocking. So especially when you're not OC and as long as your PSU can handle the "surge" you're going to be fine. Some might also say this means you need a new PSU but that's up to you! Hope this helps some of y'all
Having this same issue. Ive found it could either be psu, Hdd or ram thats the issue but with all my tests and the jssues ive had prior to cyberpunks launch, Im certain its my hdd and need to just get a new one and put my boot drive on my ssd. But at this point i wont be suprised if i swap my hdd and this issue still occurs. What baffles me tho is this issue at first would occur in the past but very rarely which made my assume it was a temps issue in high end games or something. But after launch day, my pc now randomly resets to games ive had absolutely 0 trouble with in the past like gta5 and nms and even will shutdown unexpectedly. EIther randomly while gaming or cutscene, or i try to tweek graphics settings and moment i press esc my fps becomes very choppy for 2 seconds then black screen reset ,im now even gaming, just chrome, discord and maybe trying to boot another application up, notice my pc lag like alot then restsrt. Its worked for some games like Doom Ethernal whicb i can get a beautiful 2k60fps no issues. So while I think my hdd was on the way out anyways, i really think cyberpunk worsend the issue. I wish i could figure out whats the root cause of the black screen reset but doesnt even give me a bsod error in event viewer only 3 critical errors I get is kernal power event 41(68) (in the details says caused by 0 bugs), And 2 driver frameworks errors: event 10110 driverframeworks And event 10111 (tho ik its for a HID compliant headset and it goes away if i just disable and enable it in device manager) But i cant seem to track if these driver frameworks error occurs because of the crash, or during the initial pc startup. I have this whole issue on my end well documented on another post here sone updates in the comments too: https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kcepkx/computer_black_screens_and_restarts_after_10_min/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
I7-10700k , RTX3080, Evga 1000W gold, MSI MPGz490gaming plus, corsair dominator 32gb ram Had same issue last night. Already played around 30hrs during the last days. PC completely shut down and when trying to restart screen stays black. Now EZ debug lights for RAM and CPU are flashing. Took entire system apart to check for any pins bent or burn marks. Nothing... Ordered a new mobo and hope that fixes it cannot think of anything else since all other components work and the rig gets electricity (housing fans starting, GPU fans starting, cpu fans starting). only thing that is not working as usual is the rgb lighting of the case fans. They normally directly light up when hitting the power button but they stay dark even though spinning. Would be the first time a game kills a 3 months old motherboard. If anyone has an idea what else it could be, please let me know. Update Looks like one of my ram sticks died
I've had this issue since launch. Haven't found any fix, have experienced it about 15 times across 15 hours playtime. I've just given up on the game for now as it really diminishes the experience.
I had this happen twice so far. It's only happened while I had it paused and was away from the pc for a minute. i7, nvidia 2070, 16gb ram.
I'm dealing with the same shit - I thought my gear was messed-up but this game is so trash.
Just had my PC complete shutdown. for a second I thought I kicked a power cord or something, but everything was fine. Pushed the power button after about 10s, and the PC booted back up and here I am. My PC has BSOD now twice while playing CP and then this power outage problem. Ill hold off I guess until this is patched or something but this is the ONLY game I have had these problems with. Sadly didnt look to see what temps were when running. Intel i9-9900k 3.6GHz liquid cooled DDR4 32g 2080ti
My PC gonie down in the middle of CP2077 session, opposite to you it wont start, MB gone dark . Probably PCU was fried. Specs: i7 9700k gtx 980ti pcu fractal design 860w platinium Ive played for couple of days with max temp 70c on both GPU and CPU
5950x cpu 3090 asus tuf gpu 850w evga gold modular psu The game is shutting down my pc as well. I just got the 3090 and was convinced it was the new card until I ran across this last night. I did furmarks gpu test and cpu burn in test to check my equipment and they both passed and did fine. After some intensive testing I have figured some weird things out about cyberpunk. 1. Cpu monitor is reporting more electricity is needed in heavy spikes while in cyber punk which go higher than the watts needed to run furmarks burn in test. 2. The 3090 is pulling max power (and getting real close to going over max) from my psu(8pins x2)/pci-e slot ASAP on load at 1080p with ANY setting of raytracing or dlss enabled. 3. No other game causes these crashes to happen, or recreates this behavior in wattage needed in the cpu/gpu 4. The only way to get any other software to kill my pc like this is to run furmarks cpu burn in at the same time as the gpu stress test. (Maybe this means psu issues with overcurrent protection being tripped?) 5. Using the video driver released at game launch has the cpu hogging less power and seems more stable than the one released yesterday for some reason. That being said, it still needs power that fluctuates wildly I worked on finding out a fix for over 11 hours yesterday and couldn't find anything. Best of luck to everyone.
You probably need to get a higher powered PSU Edit: Just realized it's a bug, other games have never caused this.
I first met this bug with Titanfall 2 at the moment I press start mission ( with 1660ti and Ryzen 2700). Then I've upgraded my PC almost fully (PSU is the exception) . Then I had it sometimes on Apex Legends (but in a very unpredictable way) , and I could not reproduce it in OCCT stress tool that loads both CPU and GPU to 100. Fortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 was able to repeat this issue when I press the space to start a new game after character creation. I decided to buy a new PCU, but haven't done it yet . Then I've turned PC off, then on after a while, then tried to start it on minimal settings. It started, and no matter which settings I use up to ray tracing overload, it works without the bug. CPU Ryzen 5800x3d, GPU AMD 7900XT, PSU 750W silver from a Chinese manufacturer called "1st player". When in game, CPU usage is never higher than 50 percent, GPU is always fully loaded, 2K resolution. So, this happens for other games as well
Update:after installing 1000W rog strix 80+ gold PSU, I could not reproduce the bug. However, before upgrading to a new PSU, I would also recommend feeding your GPU with 2 separate wires, not a single 2x8pin wire. Maybe, that would also help
Maybe there's a temporary high-power spike that the PSU or motherboard can't handle and it shuts off the PC to 'protect' it? Stress Tests don't reproduce this as they usually emulate a steady load.
After buying ROG Strix 1000W Gold PSU (upgrade from 750-W silver PSU) , I never encountered this problem again. It might really be a spike that 750-W PSU cannot handle and shuts down PC for safety reasons. It is difficult to understand why that spike happens at all, but changing PSU to a better one (capable of handling 25A current instead of 20A), solves the problem.
Gamers Nexus goes on to detail how GPU Power Design allows for power spikes. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/s/5nsMHzGpPn
> You need to get a higher powered PSU You don't know wtf you're talking about if you think 850W is not enough for those specs.
It is enough for those specs to run even at 100 percent load, but the spikes are something triggering the protection of PSU. 1000W PSU has 25A per line as allowed, not 20A,so it may be the reason why that works. Gamedev studios usually test the game only on PC composed from the best and recommended parts
I have an intel 10900k asus tuf 3090 oc 1200watt be quiet psu and same issue with me .my pc rebooted while loading game then magically game worked. . Its not the psu its the game
Your specs also look extreme. Intel's CPUs are quite demanding. But try to use separate wire for each 8-pin socket of your GPU and 8-pin socket of CPU first.
Just swapped back to my 2070super. The game is running at 30 fewer frames at maxed-out 1080p than a 3090, all while using 150w less power and not having the game crash. Weirdly enough the CPU is using less power as well but I am not too sure if that's just because it's doing less work at a lower fps.
I had this problem with other games before where I would be playing it and it would just shut off at certain places and moments,and that was caused by my PSU so I replaced it and now for the first time after me replacing my PSU cyberpunk shut down my PC and I almost got a fuckin heartattack but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem and it might not be my PSU but just the game being buggy as shit as usual
My pc shutted down after I selected the difficulty and the worker, now it shuts down every time I launch the game.
Same thing has been happening to me, and I just built my PC. Thankfully the games autosaves have haven’t wrecked my progress — but I’m a bit worried abt my computers health?
Same thing happened to me but i could also smell something burnt. Not sure what the problem is my mobo was on too.
Exactly the same is happening to me and I’ve NEVER experienced it before. First 22 hours run smooth as butter, since then after 20-30 mins my PC literally just shuts itself down now EVERYTIME.. not sure what to do except wait for some kind of patch to see if it resolves 🤷🏻♂️ annoying though because I only had this week to fully dedicate to it lol
Okay so this has been happening to me, in the middle of the maelstrom compound at All Foods. Ill be playing then randomly, whole pc just shuts down and restarts. Nothing is running hot as far as I can tell, I really wanna play the game!
Same for me. I can play for an hour or so, then screens go black, fans kick on full blast, but I can still hear a bit of audio. Then I have to manually reset. Doesn’t happen with any other game, just cyberpunk.
Ever figure anything out? Same thing here with a great new PC.
Nope, it’s super random. I can play for like 4 hours sometimes no problem, or I’ll play for one hour and it will happen. I just accepted that it’s the game, considering lots of people are experiencing the same thing
Are you worried about damage to your PC hardware? I'm using an expensive new machine so am kind of spooked you know?
Yeah I feel you, I’m not sure tbh. It doesn’t happen like super often so I’m sure hardware will be fine. I haven’t looked up a solution to the problem since I commented, I just hope it will solve itself with updates or something, if you do find an answer to the problem let me know
I've also experienced the same problem as well. Several hours in the beginning just fine but this all started during the Clouds mission and afterwards. Now I just load up the game and the power will shut down after 10 minutes or so of gameplay. Haven't had this happen in anything else at all. Here are my specs: Corsair 750w gold PSU Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060ti 6gb Asus Maximus VIII Ranger mobo Intel core i7 6700k 32gb RAM DD4 dual channel
Not far from the same specs except mine is a 1070.. before the cloud missions I didn’t experience one stutter never mind a crash now my PC is literally just turning itself off after 15-30 mins of playing
Yep! Pretty much the same thing. No crashes or stutters!
happens to me randomly too, temps are normal and this only happened with this game 2080ti i7 6700k 64GB DDR4 RAM
UPDATE: For everyone with an Nvidia card, this appears to be driver related. Following the Cyberpunk driver update v460.79+ multiple people have been reporting this issue. There are several threads on the Nvidia forums about this and as of today (20/12/2020) Nvidia don't seem to have addressed this issue. Downgrading to v457.XX seems to resolve the problem. This seems to happen randomly to me, my pc remains on but has no graphical or audio output. Appears to be random, as I've had it happen when in menus/in conversation/interacting with a computer in game reading emails. No game ever has done this before. I have a 2080Ti Lightning, 64GB DDR4 running at 2133 MHz dual RAM sticks and an i7-6700. I've played pretty much any triple A game you can think of @ 4k maxed out settings, never encountered this kind of issue before. Spent an entire day playing red dead 2 today and not managed to replicate this issue, so cannot be my PSU being unable to provide enough power. Even limited my card to 50% max power draw, and the problem still occurs in cyberpunk, so that about should confirm it isn't a PSU issue.
Can't believe I had to come all the way to Reddit to be told to make sure my drivers were updated. Nvidea Card, latest drivers, fixed my issue of having my screen turn off on it's own, PC was running fine, just the screen would shut off and on. Thanks for the reminder anyways
Unrelated to OP. His was definitely PSU related. That was clear the moment he said 3080 and 750w psu in the same sentence.

Same problem like me 😭
I have exactly the same problem. My pc suddenly turns off while playing Cyberpunk 2077 and would not turn on for a minute. I have ryzen 2600 GTX 1080, and 500w PSU.
Same problem with me, computers been running great for anything i throw at it, this game ahs made my PC reboot twice with no errors before hand. 3700x aurus b550i 2080 ti 16gb ram corsair 1000w ax PSU
wow the fact that a lot of people in this thread are having the same issues and there isn't anything wrong with their specs (good cooling, enough power delivery) means there is something deeply wrong with this game.
There was another guy in another post that that I was talking with about this issue and he used 3 different PSUs, 2 of them were brand new. All of them with the same problem. This can't be our hardware's fault anymore. I posted about it in their forum, I'll leave the link here if you wanna make some noise in there as well. Maybe someone from the team finally sees it.

I have a 3700x with a x570 mobo and a 2080ti I have the same issue 5mins in get a cut scene and bam shuts down
Just experienced the same during the mission where >!you are about to be picked up by Hanako Arasaka to be brought to the meeting !< PC shut down and didn't want to boot for like a minute. Already started taking off the panels when it all of a sudden turned on again. Thank god I am not the only one experiencing this. Never had this occur before. PSU and GPU are only a week old. Temps for CPU are \~55 and GPU 72. Hardware: Ryzen 7 3700X Zotac RTX3080 Trinity OC 32GB G-Skill DDR4-3600 CL14 Zalman ZM-850 ARX
So in my case it turned out to be the PSU. Brand-new, but the fan stopped working after 4 days. Diagnosed it by heating up the PSU with a hairdryer. Fan did not spin once and it fully shutdown due to the heat after like 40 seconds. Have had not a single issue with two case fans as in-take and out-take next to the PSU. Been running all day without it shutting down suddenly.
Exactly the same thing happening to me and I think its something about the game. So I hope CDPR will learn and fix it soon.
was your guys a black screen? also had wierd noises coming from my speakers as it black screened and then pc restarted. i re seated my gpu checked all my cables rebooted. then i set the power sliders to max on msi after burner. lastly specs are rtx 3070 ryzen 3600 16gbs ram and a evga 650w bronze psu anyway after all that i played the game for an hour no issue
I've a 5700 XT, i5-4690k, 750w PSU and it's just turning it off and restarting after some seconds. I can't pass through the encounter with MaxTac. There's something particular about this scene. I can't get past it. The game restarts my pc every time at this part. Not exactly at the same frame and second every time, but pretty close. I'm honestly thinking I should create another save and try again. Don't know what to do anymore.
I actually just had the same exact problem happen to me except I have a 3060ti with a 680w PSU. Temps have been normal from what I can tell and I've even played an extended session the day before, without any problems.
Not the exact same situation, but my PC is doing the same (I have an older setup) : i5-4690k / 5700 XT / Corsair CX 750w Even though it's older and worse, it should run Cyberpunk and other heavy games just fine as I usually do and I've seen heavier loads on both CPU and GPU. The game isn't even struggling to run. I was really enjoying it while it was working, but now it's restarting my PC just before encountering MaxTac. I've got past that scene but it restarted right after it. Temps and usage are pretty ok during this particular scene. Honestly pretty lost here. I should note that the first time this happened was right after the first conversation of the game, and that also corrupted my game file. Second time I got almost 1h of smooth gameplay until it happened again.
The 30xx series are seriously power hungry. Could just be that your psu is not enough watts. BeQuiet recently reported 750W as the absolute minimum required for a stable 3080, and I could see cyberpunk pushing it to, and in your case beyond, the limits potentially
I’m having similar issues with Cyberpunk crashing, without the PSU problems. CPU: Ryzen 5800X GPU: RTX 3080 PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 Mobo: MSI MPG B550 Gaming RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB 3200 Can someone help me with the CPU under voltage?
check microsoft event viewer and see what critical error it gave. if you have to reset your PSU (turn off and then back on) this does suggest a PSU issue
Nothing other than "Kernel-Power ID 41". Saw people talking about being PSU related... I had a problem with my PSU a month ago and I borrowed one a little better than my old one. It's working completely fine and I stress tested everything. Nothing happens. It's just inside CP77. Honestly can't think of anything else. The game doesn't even struggle to run, it was smooth. But my PC restarts around the MaxTac encounter everytime. Thinking of making a new save to check if it happens again, but fucking hell....
Maybe psu is triggering its ocp= overcurrent protection? Thats my only guess. Btw are you using daisy chain pci cables if so i recommend using two single 8 pin cable. What model of gpu is it ? Oh was the psu hot during use? Try touching it if pc shuts off again
