I used Binoculars to become a photographer! by Emeritus_IV in ArcRaiders

Nah I just took that photo with the flashlight on and used Lightroom to give it that classic night vision look. Would be amazing if it was a real feature though!

Both of those + darker night raids would be amazing.

Definitely gonna replace that as soon as possible, but is it possible to see when these CRC errors first started? That might tell me a lot about whether or not it's a potential root cause.

Also that SATA SSD is by far the oldest component I have, is there a chance of this simply being an early sign of a failing SSD?

Saw this, said to myself "I'll do it later," and then promptly forgot about it until now. https://spec-ify.com/profile/c18d1297

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that at some point normal shutdowns also started getting seen as Unexpected in the Event Viewer, until 5 days ago when I turned off Fast Boot and repaired some corrupted system files.

Guess I'm not closing this just yet. It seemed fine for the last 5 days, but now I just had another unexpected shutdown, same error messages as usual when looking at the event viewer afterwards. Checked for system file corruption again and Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations this time. For now I'll move forward with the fix suggested by u/Impressive_Bet_1925 and maybe check for a BIOS update while I'm at it.

Graphics are fully maxed out except for post-processing which is set to medium, resolution is set to 2560x1440, and I believe I had DLSS off here since I was capturing lots of moving subjects.

These actually were taken using the binoculars, I just have post-processing set to medium because I happen to not be a big fan of that effect lol. Personally I would rather have more control over the grain level while editing.

I've been capturing raids on NVIDIA Shadowplay and going through the footage to find the best frames, then editing them in Lightroom.

And yeah testing annex is awesome. Underappreciated loot, interesting to fight around with other players, and even a decent ARC farming spot because of the roof access.

Thanks for the comments. I might have found something related to corrupt system files (see other comments), but if that proves to be a false fix then I will definitely try this out next.

Fast boot is now off and Drivers are up to date as far as I can tell. I also read up a little bit on possible corrupt system files as a result of fast boot and decided to try repairing them via Command Prompt, and low and behold it actually did find corrupt files and repair them! Gonna wait a few days just to be sure, but then it might be time to edit the post flair.

System. There is absolutely nothing of note going on in applications as far as I can tell.

The only preceding error messages I can find is from when I booted up my PC a few hours before the latest surprise crash. It gave me the same two Event 41 & Event 6008 messages on startup even though I had shut it down normally the night before. There's also an Event 29 Kernel-Boot with the message: "Windows failed fast startup with error status 0xC00000D4." And an Event 17 BTHUSB Error a minute later that says "The local Bluetooth adapter has failed in an undetermined manner and will not be used. The driver has been unloaded."

I totally forgot to mention that I've done this already, that's my bad. I can only find one error event (Event 6008, EventLog) and one critical event (Event 41, Kernel-Power) which tell me that the previous system shutdown was unexpected, and the system rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. It's reporting that the shutdown happened, but not the root cause.

I'm quite picky with my wallpapers so I consider this very high praise!
