Dirty Bomb's Friendship with Discord

(Corppet) #1

Whenever I use Dirty Bomb with Discord, after around 10 minutes of playing a game, my computer shuts down. This continues to happen consistently ever since Ranked Season 3 began. I checked the statistics on my computer while I run Discord and DB simultaneously, but I couldn’t find anything. I put my settings on the lowest quality, but it doesn’t help. Temperature isn’t the problem, I checked. Every other game I play works perfectly fine with Discord, but only DB not only crashes, but makes my PC power off.

Does it shut down immedieately or normal loading way?

If immedieately, you can check your windows memory dump for more information.

If loading way, then it might be some other 3rd party software like a virus or just a innocent macro joke to shutdown.

I used my preferred Virus Detection Software, Norton to detect any viruses and malicious programs, but it came up clean. I don’t understand what you mean by “macro joke”, but either way, I don’t think my macros had anything to do with this.

By macro joke, I mean someone can create a macro that runs silent software to shut down your PC in normal procedure. If you have approved it, it does not show in virus detection. Best way to test this, is to make dual boot fresh windows on its own small partition and see if the problem still occur.

You can make this hard way, by opening msconfig and cleaning up services and startup software. Dont disable everything and use common sense. It might be just easier and certain way to install a new windows.

Do you have laptop or desktop?

Install and scan your PC with Avast, and then scan with Malwarebytes, remove any detected files. Restart your PC. If the problem persists, try a dual boot on a small partition (as henkl000 said). I personally wouldn’t recommend Nortan, use Avast instead, it has a very small performance hit, its free, and its pretty much the best one out there.
