Make sure its a branded psu with at least 80 bronze or better rating, not a 25 quid cheap one that says 600w on it and is plated gold.

Dodgy save? Even tho it shouldnt reset a pc at all, maybe that save has something in that causes some crazy situation and puts some enormous load on? Tho i highly doubt it, id get ego to look at that save and see if anything jumps at them and they say oh no it shouldnt ever do that or something.

Try giving some repo steps being exact as you can, if possible maybe stream it on twitch even if thats a possibility then they can watch it and the video would show right up till ur pc goes nuts.

Your system should have a power and temperature monitoring application (on the drive or on a system support disk) that should allow you to monitor these things in the background while playing and then have a look at their history even after a system crash and restart. At least that would tell you what may be getting overstressed.

The fact that the same save causes issues if used first, but not so much if following a warm-up act from another save, might indicate some sort of system thermal or power 'shock' when doing a 'cold' start straight into a high stress situation. I don't know if that is really likely, possible, or indicative of something as it is just my wild theory. :wink:

Ok, that's temperatures that seem to be staying just within acceptable levels (your graphics card is rated up to 94'C). What about voltages - any rail voltages dropping before the reset?

nothing anormal for the moment and the voltage is normal,i generate another save with quicksave and this run ok now , i dont what is happen , maybe the previous save enter in a bucle and loading another saves this broke the chain ,now the game run normally , maybe is like a previous save i have in the another beta version (3.30 or 3.60 ,i dont remember well) and the game shutdown the pc for enter a specify shipyard station and the another stations i dont have problems , then i thought maybe is normal for the beta and delete this , and the game began to run normally , i dont know what is happen ,but the game run normally now with a new save after load anothers of previous versions.

VRM (voltage regulator module) can cause spontaneous reset or shutdown as well if it runs too hot. There is not any instrumentation on these usually so it can be difficult to know if this is the cause. Given that other parts of the system are ~90 degrees it is possible the VRM might be considerably hotter and close to their maximum operating temperature.
