Path of Exile 2 shuts down my machine
Most likely to occur with Vulkan. Seems isolated to this title. Running latest stable HTPC image.
I assumed initially this was hardware instability but I’m not as sure now:
- CPU: 13600K. I disabled all MSI “Enhanced Turbo” settings. I reseated the cooler. I swapped the cooler fans out (I used Noctua A12 LS, swapping in regular A12 later today). I checked the Lite Load mode and set it to 5. I set strict power limits: 125W long, 181W short.
- RAM: GSkill Ripjaws S5, 64GB, 6000MHz. I tried bringing the clock down to stock and retraining. No dice.
- GPU: Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX. Newly returned after an RMA. I assumed this may be a transient spike, but… it happens even on low graphics settings with Ultra Perf scaling. Setting a 60FPS cap seems to make it less frequent, but not unlikely.
- PSU: SF750. I have an SF1000 lying around that I can swap in, but I was planning on returning that.
The reason I’m not so sure that this is a hardware issue: I regain stability after deleting the shaders. I’m also entirely stable when playing Cyberpunk and other demanding titles.

Freezing and white screen
This started happening over the weekend. Happens in multiple titles. Some do it on launch. Others randomly after some time. Each time, the fans go nuts in my machine and the system is completely frozen and non responsive to input.
Video attached.

Static & flashing display via Thunderbolt
My system is a high end HTPC:
- MSI MEG z690i Unify motherboard with dGPU pass through of Thunderbolt
- 96GB DDR5 RAM
- i5 13th gen
- AMD 7900 XTX
It sits on my desk, but I have it wired through the wall such that it feeds into my tv. At my desk, I primarily use macOS, and so I drive 2x Apple Studio monitors (among other stuff) via a single TB4 dock. In windows, this works fine, wherein AMD drivers recognize the monitors as 5K displays running in a tiled configuration. It works fine in the BIOS, and it also works fine on my Mac machines. When Bazzite boots, however, it immediately begins displaying issues: constant tv static flashing across the screen, artifacting, flashing — enough to give some a seizure. This only applies to 5K thunderbolt displays. It does not apply to the HDMI output. It seems to me this may be a driver issue. How would I go about diagnosing that?
