Hello
For a while, I've been having this seemingly unfixable issue:
When the server is well-filled (around 60-70 players on), my PC would reboot around 5-10 minutes after I got on the server. I've been having this issue in other games as well such as Hearts of Iron IV and Arma 3, but not in multiplayer.
When there were 30 players on the server, it took about an hour until my PC would reboot (probably as the player count raised).
The weird thing about this: in terms of performance, there are no apparent issues as the game would go fluently. Also right before the reboot, everything would seem normal. It's almost as if there would be a short power outage, the display would turn black and regular starting procedures would follow.
My brother told me to do a benchmark. I've done that and the PC did not reboot.

These are my computer specifications:

System: Windows 10 Pro, version 10.0.17134 Build 17134, 64-bit
RAM: 8 GB
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core Processor 3.80 GHz
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti

If you haven't changed anything on your computer recently, it is most likely due to overheating. It could be a large number of other things, but I would aim to rule out overheating first.

When did you last clean the inside of your computer? (If never, how old is it?)

What temperatures are you getting on you CPU/GPU before it dies? Use something like HW Monitor to check.

Have you moved your computer recently after it being stationary for a long period of time?

I had this issue. You solve it by doing the following.
opening the case
checking cables and such
give it ALL A GOOD CLEAN (Should take an hour or so)
Make sure that nothing is broken or damaged.
Maybe change Power Surge (Had to get a new one due to it dying)
If nothing works after that, I don't know.

I'd check my CPU temperature. My CPU was at 100 fucking degrees Celsius at one point. Blowing off the dust from the fan with an airspray can really helped. You can also use q-tips if you don't have those cans.

My last clean was a month ago,
temperatures:
CPU is around 36°C with no game running, 48°C before a crash
GPU is around 37°C with no game running, 48°C before a crash
Processor is at 9°C with no game running, 32°C before a crash
My PC has not been moved after a long time being stationary.

I've had this problem on every single PC I've had and I've had about 5 over the past 10 years.
One of the problems were purely due to overheating where temperatures would reach over 90 degrees and shut off.
One of the other problems was with my power cable that wouldn't stay in right, probably due to wear and tear.
The other problem was having a faulty power supply and causing it to restart.

I honestly remember searching hours to see what caused my computer to reboot and cut out randomly, was the fucking worst thing.

I'd recommend checking your power supply as there could be an issue with that.
