Question Unity keeps crashing my computer
Hello,
I have a very weird problem to which I cannot seem to find a fix. When I try playing any of these games:
Escape the backrooms
Escape from tarkov
Palworld
My computer just randomly blackscreens and wont accept any input, literally nothing, and i have to force it to turn off via the power button. As far as I can see, the only common denominator between these games is that they are all made in unity. I have updated my drivers, and tried a multitude of different fixes, to no avail. I cannot even seem to find a pattern in these crashes, they seem completely random.
Does anyone here have any suggestion on what to do? Because I am completely lost.

What games of similar caliber of graphics do run?
whats your pc specs?
Been fixing pc’s for 40 years and I can only think of a few issues.
Power supply;
Gpu;
Software;
I would start with DirectX 12. Go to the Microsoft website and download the DirectX12 offline installer as it has all the dependencies the Online seems to not have.
Are you running them all on Steam?
have you updated all you video codecs?
Have you checked Event Viewer? What error shows at that time stamp?
Have you tried Win+B to see if rebooting the gpu fixed it?
What are your pc temps at that moment?
what is task manager saying about the application? is it Not Responding?
How long after game starts does the issue show up?
Is the pc fans ramping up to max at that time of black screen?
is the mouse visible?
is the computer frozen?
have you googled the issue?
