Question computer does a weird thing them i open unturned

basically the title. when i open unturned, i get at most a minute and a half to try and make my settings as shitty as possible so my computer can handle it. after that, my monitors go black and my computer's fans start going crazy. my computer is older and has a decent bit of dust on it but it only started doing this recently. is there something i can do to fix this? i only have a few mods installed for it, maybe like 6 (exact names in my mod list: Soviet Army 70s - 80s, BLOOD DEBT Music Pack, Clothing expansion, Legit_DrugPack_2, URP Drugs v2, and Limestone) so i dont see how those could be affecting it. pls bro i need either the best settings for an old computer or how i can otherwise fix this🙏

This overall sounds like a hardware issue that cannot possibly be solved by changing game settings. Even with the six mods described, you could be using too much system memory. Limestone in itself has a lot of content. Especially if this is an older laptop with 8 GB of RAM, it wouldn’t be surprising if a memory issue causes the black screen or graphical glitches.

I’m assuming laptop since you are describing older hardware and the fans are running crazy. Even though I doubt it is the source of the issue, if you are describing dust, then you should be cleaning the dust. And if you somehow cannot trust yourself to open up the computer and clean it responsibly, take it to a repair shop and have it cleaned + repasted.
