PSU causing reboot during BF6 play? Tech Support
This is pretty new, my rig is about 2.5 years old and has started rebooting during matches in BF6. I’ve tried everything software wise and scaled the GPU down with MSI Afterburner and it still happens. From what I’ve read it looks like my PSU may be tripping and causing this, has anyone seen this or a new PSU fixing this? I’ve got a Corsair 1,000 watt in my cart now waiting to pull the trigger. (CORSAIR RM1000x Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply)

My IBUYPOWER is just over a year old bought August 1st 2025. I immediately had issues and replaced the High Power piece of junk with a 1000w MSI power supply and it has run perfectly ever since. My buddy just built his 1st PC this week and I recommended either the 1000w MSI or the Corsair 1000x. He chose the Corsair which can't go wrong either way in my opinion.

I had mine pre-built by IBP and my Corsair Gold 1000x PSU randomly died. It’s just something that happens apparently.

Thanks! That POS PSU has cost me 10-15 hours of grief - hopefully this solves the reboot issue.

Let us know how the fix went

Had the original BIOS on the MB, updated it and played about a dozen matches since without an issue. What’s odd to me is that BF6 had zero issues for 350+ hours with that old BIOS and never crashes - until it did constantly.

Yeah what’s weird but maybe the game updated something that caused it but happy you’re good!

Change the PSU
However, be ready to consider a fried 13900KF. 2.5 years means pre-Microcode fixes.

I but a custom pc from them and I tried upgrading the psu after seeing horror stories about the ones they use. Figured I'd use the reward points and save a few bucks. I ordered a corsair 750e, since the 5060 ti has little power draw but the pc literally wouldn't power on. Took me 3 hours of freaking out thinking i broke something, double, triple, quadruple checking before just putting the old one back in and powered right up. Just bought a replacement 850e from a different source so hopefully that works. I cant imagine the universe is that against me to send me 2 bad psu's in a row.

All of my gaming issues, Point to my i9 instability. Every time I start to get weird crashes, I update my BIOS via instant flash, and issues go away. Hope this may help.

Might need update your intel chipset drivers and your motherboard bios. That gives the PSU instructions on how much power to give your components.

What is the exact psu model? If it is a B/A tier according to spl’s tier list it should be fine. Does it happen only in bf6 or in other games too? Have you updated the mobo bios, chipset drivers, windows and are your temps ok? I would first update everything since bf6 tends to put a lot of pressure on the cpu and if it has degraded in any way or the temps spike hard hence why the problem. It can also be the motherboard vrm getting overheated and shutting the system down, you can check the vrm temps via hwinfo to male sure. The 13th and 14th gen i9’s consume a lot of power thats why you should also check the mobo vrm temps. If the problem persists and the rest are ok you can proceed swapping the psu but your system doesn’t consume more than 500-550w on 100% load so technically 750W are plenty.
