Game restarting my computer
This has been going on since i started playing, it even restarted my PC on the game pass version of the game, its not a hardware issue, nothing is overheating, ive updated drivers, bios etc. Even did some stuff with the DCOM settings, all to no avail. game just randomly restarts my computer without warning, its only on SOD2, no other game does this, even more demanding games.

Are you sure your not overheating?

What video card/system do you have?

a game cant order a PC to restart, that ever comes from hardware or at least the OS.
But Random Restarts without a Warning have normal exact 2 Sources: Overheat and Power Supply Failing/Device with short circuit, nearly never seen any other cause in my years as PC Technican.

As another Source it coud be a Power Surge Shutdown, but if it is that than your BIOS will tell you so at the next POST, because the BIOS was the one who done it. got that happen to me for some time with XCOM2, thought first my PSU was failing, but in the end it was my refrigarator that got defect, causing my PC to do sayed Power Surge shutdowns because it hung at the same Powerline Phase.

I5 7600k, 24gb 3000mhz corsair vengance ram, gtx 1660 super.
I have my temps being monitored by openhardwaremonitor everytime i play the game to mka esure its not overheating, GPU temps rearly get over 50c and cpu temps rarely get ovee 60c. those are within normal limits and doubt its an overheating problem.

Trying to run the game at 120fps, i have a limiter set in nvidia control panel, all the setting i have them set at medium quality to see if it is an issue. i have tried reseating them, swapping out slots, etc. nothing is working

The pc is for sure not overheating, i have it all being monitored from software and physical temp guages, everything stayts within the normal limits, STOD2 is nowhere near my most demanding game that i play, so i would imagine the more demanding games would shutdown aswell right? how would i go about checking for power surge? my bios hasnt told me anything. its weird bc the pc just acts as if i pressed the restart button. no additional boot screen.. nothing.

Power Surge Protection is something you can look up in your BIOS Options, not every Board manufactura uses it. my System is Antique by PC Standards, useing a Asus X99Pro Board that delievers that Option.
Its an Option that the System recognices Power Fluctuations that reach unhealthy/unstable High or Low Power Delivery and does a Savety Shutdown than.
unlike the Power Connectors that you can get that only deliver Lightning Protection and smoothing out the Power Flow with a highdeep passthrough.

I know it's been over 2 years now. But did anyone find a solution for this?

SOD2 does this to my pc but it only does it when I'm playing multiplayer.
thats something the PC of my Friend done to, blackout in MP, but there it was a Heat Problem (combined with a old age PSU) due to Boarderline Specs and he was the Host.
but TS ever denied that his System gone to Hot....

Try locking the games framerate to 60fps and see if that helps.

A game in the normal course of events isnt going to cause a computer to crap out. But with the recent windows 11 patches it could very well be that
