PC crash to reboot while being outside in Skyrim

[weiht68]

No, its not to weak. I am playing on a laptop 

OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Home v10.0.26100
    CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics         
    GPU #1: Nvidia GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q]
    GPU #2: AMD Cezanne [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series]
    GPU #3: Microsoft Basic Render Driver
    PHYSICAL MEMORY: 13.52 GB/31.40 GB
    GPU MEMORY: 4.54/5.11 GB

without any problems BUT i was trying ENB and it was giving very low FPS. Was switching to Community shaders and everything runs nice and stable especially with activated SSE display tweaks and Skyrim upscaler.

You have not told us what your power supply unit "PSU" is. That is what jasperdegraaf was complaining about I believe.

Well I think its weird that modern pre-built pc's put in minimum PSU to save costs. My card and processor are fairly top of the Bill I believe,  and somehow they ruin it by adding the weakest PSU possible. My pc was 3000 euro,  considering Ive got a family to run , you can understand my frustration. 

Perhaps in future ill add a more powerful PSU but for now my question remains: Can I mod skyrim graphic wise without crashing or is it really just trial and error.  

And a sidenote, how bad is a hard reboot crash for hardware? If so i wont mess about obviously.

 

Thanks 

Edit: I hate it how my pc is a friggin lightshow of unnessesary disco light fan spectacle,  but unable to provide enough for my card when it needs more power. Unbelievable..

A laptop is configured in a way that its PSU provides sufficient power - and if it does not, then it will scale down performance.    Insufficient power on a desktop can easily lead to reboots, BSD and all that.    

As far as damaging hardware - not likely.    It used to be that abrupt loss of power could cause a head crash in spinning hard drives, but those have included capacitors to provide juice for head parking for ages.

It is of course a big question as to why they put a crap PSU into a 3k euro PC.   My recommendation would be, if you spend that much, go to a place where you can actually determine the components.    

Now, a quality 850W PSU (Corsair, Seasonic) here in US costs about $120-140, and swapping out a PSU is generally not that hard.

Thanks very much for your reply. Yes that would be plan B for now.  Plan A would be how can I not let the game crash I already found out 7 months ago that deleting ENB made it more stable,  but crashes still occured now and then.

Yes ive seen the prices here are more or less the same. Will do that as a plan B. My wife will kill me when she hears my ludicrously expensive pc will need a 140 euro upgrade
