POE 2 Is Bricking My GPU Drivers

I was playing POE 2 today when my screen went black. I couldn't do anything. I had to hard reset my computer. When I booted it back up, my drivers were cooked. I reinstalled the drivers, and their status in device manager was solid.

I boot up POE 2 - and it goes black again!

What is going on? My drivers keep getting corrupted whenever I boot up the game.

Could be many problems up to and including your GPU dying. Could be just overheating. Could be just Windows or software problems.

Could just be you're an outlier, though and the game is doing this. Do you have any other hardware intensive games you can play to test? POE2 is a pretty intensive game, so if you can test something else you can figure out whether it's all games going bad on you or just this one.
