PC shuts down if I relaunch the game

Hello I didn't spot any thread about this problem, or I must be a pleb.
My game randomly closes from time to time without an error message.
If I try to start the game up again my pc just shuts down, again without a blue screen or anything. I can start the game again only if I restart my pc.
I'm running the launcher as admin and my folder isn't read only. I'm using Windows 10.
Any solutions?

First time i hear about this problem. Can you take a look to your hardware temperature (graphic card)?

my guess is a power problem.

I had this problem some time ago with my pc. When i played in 4k sometimes the game would kick me to desktop and from there the pc would shutdown completely. one question: does your pc quit like you would unplug it from the power supply and then restart again?

Definitely a thermal or power issue. As Yaliskah said, check your temps for both graphics card and CPU.

not necessarily. for me it was a software problem that made the pc crash.
disabeling hardware prefetch in the cpu section in my bios fixed it. but it will make your game 20 times slower. so i turned down my nvidia settings to 2K dsr and now it works just fine.
there are many reasons that could make your pc crash. ram failures, crappy drivers etc...
i dont think it is a problem with the temperatures because the pc doesnt crash while gaming but after the game already stopped running.
if for example your gpu gets too hot, this would most likely happen while you are ingame and not on the desktop trying to restart the game.
but it cant hurt if you put some temperatures in here.

Ok thanks. I'm using a laptop. I'll clean it and see if that helps.

Laptops can easily over heat. Is it only when you play WAR?
Sounds like a power supply issue.

*Update*
My laptop was overheating, cleaned it and it's working perfectly again.
