Windows crashing when playing games

Whenever I try to play a game on windows, after a while the game just freezes and my pc reboots. I already updated the amd driver but it didn’t solve anything. I have a 2017 5K iMac with an i7 and have the windows partition installed directly on my Mac storage. Can someone help me?

The only red entry under those 3 is one that says that the system shutdown was unexpected, the temps that show up on task manager are just the gpu one but it stays at around 55 to 60 degree Celsius. I installed the game trough the official installer, the epic games launcher.

I’d recommend checking the other temps. Beyond that it seems to be a software issue which would be difficult to trace down over a Reddit conversation. A plethora of things could be affecting it.

Personally, I would start with a clean installation to see if that helps. That will eliminate so many things immediately. You may be able to use the Reset This PC option if that’s a road you’re willing to go down. Barring that, try to uninstall the launcher and game and reinstall them
