PC shut down a lot

They are related. The game's code is doing something "iffy" with System APIs. Similarly, the game's code is having some real trouble with core utilization logic.

If your PC is built perfectly, these result in hard crashes, ie. system freezes. If not then your PC would shutdown due to thermals.

This problem is not the graphics. There are some that are related to graphics but this is not it.

The reason why this happens is that the game is badly optimized and has trouble with core utilization. As a result if there are a lot of things to compute like status effects, buffs, debuffs, minions etc. it results in a massive CPU spike. If your thermal management is not adequate your PC shuts down due to in-built safety features. As this is in spike format and actually secretly combined with a system freeze it would probably not register. Still you can check event manager for thermal warnings, sometimes they do pop-up there.

At that time, it was day 15, and we managed to track it until that point. Afterwards it would require access to GGG's engine's code so we couldn't go any further than that. It is now more than two months. The problem still continues.

Be it the hard crash, shutdowns, spikes, stutters, or general low performance all due to how GGG's code is handling core utilization.

We can never know why exactly as GGG keeps being dodgy and dishonest.

As long as GGG is not interested in open and honest communication our only other option is to increase the pressure and warn others by giving a negative review for Path of Exile 2 on Steam in a detailed and informative manner.
