And even if i get it fixed by myself, what guarantees that it wont break again?
I am going to respond to this as nicely as I can.
#1. If you were playing and your machine powered off you more than likely either don't have enough power for your hardware when its being pushed or your system overheated.
#2. When the system didn't have enough power or overheated and shutdown to protect itself you had a hard shutdown of Windows which easily can cause corruption and explain why you can't boot back into Windows.
Neither of the items I listed above has anything to do with Fallout 4 or Bethesda. It's either the system wasn't properly built, or you received faulty parts. If a game was seriously destroying systems it would be a wide spread issue not a one off thing. I suggest you educate yourself regarding your PC. Building it is just the beginning, and based on this post you need to continue learning to be able to support a gaming PC.
Thank you for your response, i bought this computer last week. I am not sture about overclocking, but this computer had ran witcher 3 smoothly on ultra and when i started fallout, it got preset on ultra and had 60 fps when i played it. I am not sure if it is about the system, because in the blue screen it mentions the hard dive and when i put the windows disk into the system - it doesnt react in any way and just goes blue screen
Wow. So.... I just recovered (partially) from the exact same thing. Total BSOD. I suspect from some of the errors that there was a page file fault/corruption.
re: "when I was entering the vault" --
My system crashed and rebooted while the family was on the platform and the mushroom cloud just struck in the distance. I think I recall there was some sort of announcement that they were lowering... then crash. (It took me 6 hours to get back to a half-way working system, so not positive of the exact moment, but it was right after the cloud). Is this when yours crashed?
Here's my anolysis so far--
My Win7 crashed to reboot; could not consistently recover (stable recovery) using any of the normal Windows choices (Safe Mode, prior known good config, etc.). I eventually got a "prior known good config" reboot to get to an unstable Windows desktop that caused a popup to appear re: virtual memory. It indicated it wanted to set the page file size to a lower size than I had it at before. Upon rebooting after that, I couldn't get to any bootable configuration until I eventually had to boot from orignal OS DVD and run chkdsk on my boot drive. It was loaded with errors. I eventually recovered, but only partially.
The BSODs showed page fault errors, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION faults, and REFERENCE_BY_POINTER errors.
When I first got Windows running again, the OS said I was running a non-verified copy. It completely hosed my original activation. Also, I noted that it wanted to install 14 missing Windows updates (ones that weren't missing before). Microsoft Essentials has vanished (Microsoft site asked if I wanted to download it after I validated and reactivated my OS key). I noted my system sound device settings were completely changed. I use SP/DIF out. No sound coming out indicated that was messed up, but easily fixed. Also, no prior Restore Points were available. That svcked.
So... I in the midst of re-building the OS config and all Windows updates, scanning for viruses, doing sys diagnostics before ever attempting to get back into the game.
EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME!!! Mushroom appears, guy covers up his face, screen goes back and doesnt recover
Is there any way i could contact you? Steam account maybe? I would like to know how did it go for you
PM sent. I'm not going on Steam until my system is stable.
Previously it was said that it couldn't have been the game that crashed the computer, because other people would have it too. And it made sense when it was said, but now we got another person who got their system crashed and they are facing the same errors and problems i did.
So how do we know that other people's systems didn't crash too? It was a pure luck that we met on this board, but what about other people? There are could be many people with broken computers by now, not as many as that are playing right now, but still.
And how do we know that the game won't crash the computers later on? Like me and that person will fix our computers and will try to run the game and it will break us again. What do we do? Get the money back? it doesnt cancel the fact that our computers were broken possibly because of the game
Same issue here, the same location too, assuming it's the vault where you have to rescue the detective guy?
The game and my PC were fine until I got into that area, then all of a sudden my monitor would go into standby and it just got worse from there, I think the PSU itself has been damaged in some way, because it would do it more often in fallout, then even when just using Windows, it would do the same.

Okay, guys, again, Fallout 4 cannot overvolt or burn out your system unless your system has an underlying fault that a particularly high-stress piece of software exposed. Either way it's your system, not Fallout 4. This doesn't happen, cannot happen. I had a system that died midway through my first playthrough of Fallout 3 but that wasn't Fallout 3's fault, it was just my old X850 giving up the ghost. [censored] happens, you don't blame the last person to walk over an overloaded bridge for its collapse.
Ture, every big name game has killed computers, or so the claims go. In reality, they simply happened to be the game that was on when the system fell over and gave up.
And hey, it gave me the excuse I wanted to buy that 3850 1GB. That card was [censored]in' at the time...
It's highly unlikely that it would fry the GPU though since it would automatically power down before that happens.
It would seem that moment in the game puts some extreme stress on the GPU that absolutely could make it overheat and power down, since many of you have experienced it at the exact same part of the game, but for there to be permanent damage i think there has to be something wrong with the fan/cooling hardware. Correct me if im wrong, but i see only 2 possibilites here and that is either somethings wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
Well the problem is that, i don't even know if i can try to play the game again. my computer is getting fixed right now, and i am scared to run the game when i will get it back
And i mentioned my stats before, there was nothing that could break and the computer was brand new
