This has started happening to me. Not sure but hoping it’s an overheating or power issue. When I’m playing, usually in a mission during a long drawn out fight, my computer will totally power down. There will be just one light left on on the Mobo but nothing else is on. In order to restart I have to unplug the power supply and then replug it in. It has also happened once when I was trying to do an auto OC.

I have noticed my CPU running towards 90c but never over that. I just reapplied thermal paste and have tried increasing fan speeds to help with heat. I did find out that I bought a slightly lower quality power supply and my card requires 42A on the 12 volt rail but my PSU only puts out 40A. Are the 2 missing amps the problem? Maybe coupled with the fact that I have a power hungry card and 4 cores and the computer is just cranking at the point when it goes down causes the PSU to just not have quite enough oomph.

Rig:
MSI 890fx mobo
AMD 955 quad core
EVGA Nvidia 480
3 hard drives
2 optical drives
APEVIA 650 W PSU

I’m probably going to replace the PSU first depending on what I hear from here.

I was just able to complete this. Not sure what I did that worked but here are the steps I took. I completed everything normally up to the cave and then

1 – I entered the cave and triggered the grubs but I did not ever hit a grub myself. I let my party kill them all as i attacked the other enemies. This stopped the ‘content unavailable’ message.

2 – I stayed to the right and went right to the 2nd group without clearing the cave first. After I killed the boss there I found a little passageway thru a spider web that I went down just a bit and that triggered a conversation I hadnt heard before.

3 – I moved with the group and led them from enemy to enemy the rest of the way through the cave. It appeared as long as they fought they didn’t run back to the starting stop.

I’m not sure which of these did it but Im guessing it was #2. The dialogue happened with the whole team appearing to head down the wrong passage. Guessing maybe the trigger point is off even though the star updates.

Unfortunately when I finally had gotten to the very last boss my computer decided to shut off with about 10 seconds left before I killed him so I’m headed back to retry it. I’ll let you know if I make it through again.

This is preventing me from wanting to go on with the game. This has been an issue since the beginning it looks like and it’s fairly unacceptable that a fix hasn’t yet been implemented.
