PoE2 shutting PC down at random times.

When playing PoE2, I played for an hour before it shut my PC down completely. I fixed the frame rate, lowered graphics, and lowered my second monitor's refresh rate. I opened the game again and got about 2 hours in before my PC shut down in the main gathering town. I tried to fidget with the settings and hopped back on the next day. I got about 2 more hours in when it shut my PC down while I was standing idle with no other enemy animations nearby. I checked my CPU and it was at a normal temperature, along with my GPU. This is the only game that has ever shut my whole PC down before. I cannot play anymore due to the worry that this could damage my PC. I did try to play with friends once, but that became a problem when I immediately crashed and my PC shut off. Has anyone else had this happen? I love the game, but I cannot even play at the moment....

Hello, sorry you also have this problem.
It is known about in other threads, with allot of potential solutions.
My pc completely shuts off, AMD CPU and GPU as well, the fix i found that worked was changing too Vulkan from dx12. My game looked terrible but it got me past the map that was shutting my pc down. i thought it may have been addressed in latest patch 1.1 but alas, 4 crashes today.
172 hours played and only 2 notable consistant triggers, First the flamethrower chick in the campaign mines when she does her second attack, and the second one today is a Blooming Field (grass biome) map using up a corrupt rare t11 waystone dropped from a boss. After starting my poor pc AGAIN! all portals are now gone and map says attempted. At least i got a few drops before my lvl 90 Witch was denied entry :).
Hopefully the solution comes soon, but until then try Vulkan too get you past the level/map causing the issue, or look at the other threads about PSU, AMD settings, Graphics settings, etc.
