Struts kill computer

[BOX]

Sup'

Been playing KSP 1.2 for a while with no issues. On a current design of a rocket I have, some of the struts that overheat and break about 30 secs into that stage and upon doing this, my computer instantly shuts down and black screens like the power have been cut off. I have successfully used this design where the struts overheat and break without issue but now it crashes ever time without failure. I have been testing with many other more demanding games and even tried overclocking gpu and cpu to replicate the results on any other game - no success. Performance of my computer isn't an issue, running 3 screens at 1920x1080 @ 60hz, with my gpu and cpu only being used 60% to do so. Using Gtx 970, Intel i5 4570, 16GB ram @ default clock speeds

Any ideas? open to trying things to fix this and all help is appreciated 

Thanks!

Mhh, have half an idea your issue could be related to thermal part highlighting, as part highlighting is a feature giving issues in recent KSP versions, though never to the point of causing a shut down. You may try if that's true by choosing to not have thermal highlighting (pause menu, settings, gameplay section). Try also to not have thermal debug colors enabled (F11), or via the console (Mod-F12) in Thermal panel. Can't think there are issues with your hardware given the performance data you gave. If nothing helps of the above, mind uploading your vessel to allow others to check?

Hi @BOX, we're going to need more info on this one, KSP should not even be able to crash your mashing like this.

Please see this thread.

We'll need the logs from after this occurs, your dxdiag (assuming Windows) and the craft that causes the issue.

This seems to have fixed the issue, thank you very much! =)
