Poe 2 Completely shutting down my computer after new patch

I've been having serious issues with Path of Exile 2 since early access launched. The game keeps freezing completely and even shutting down my entire PC. It was happening a lot at first, then randomly stopped for a bit, but after the recent patch, the problem came back, and now it’s worse than ever.

Right now, the game is basically unplayable. It shuts down my computer whether I’m running maps or just chilling in my hideout. Eventually, no matter what I’m doing, my whole system just turns off.

For context, I’m running an RX 7600 with a Ryzen 5 5500, which should be more than enough to play the game. I even changed my PSU just in case, but it didn’t fix anything. I’ve tried everything: setting everything to low, switching between Vulkan and DirectX 11/12, capping my FPS to 40 and even 30 — and it still shuts down my PC.

This only happens with PoE 2. I’ve played games like Cyberpunk 2077 with a stress test running in the background for hours and had zero issues. My PC has never shut down like this in any other game, ever. It’s literally just PoE 2 causing it.

I really want to play and enjoy the game, but at this point, it’s just not possible. Please look into this, I know I’m not the only one having this issue. Thanks.

Same here, rx 7600 + 5600x. Deleting game for now, this issue will burn my gpu for sure.
Ok i kinda fixed it (strange that ggg cant), not sure if it will work for everyone:
1. Undervolt gpu in AMD adrenalin - 2750 mhz and 1170 mv
2. Renderer Vulcan instead of dx 11 or 12
3. FSR balance
4. All setting low, triple buffering and dynamic culling is on, target framerate 60

Game works fine and stable, 130 fps in hideout, 70-120 fps on maps.
I disabled ''core performance boost'' in the bios, and it kinda fixed it for now at least...
