    This has happened 4 times today.
    I was watching how the fire elemental statue was making the smelting table look
    like it was warping / moving and it crashed again.


    I'm not 100% sure but it seems to happen the most when I'm crafting at my pavilion in Blue Rose
    Isle. The Fire elemental statues' glow seems to be kind of sketch and erratic. Perhaps this is
    causing the video card to glitch out?


    Thus far I have done the following.

    Updated chipset drivers.
    Updated nvidia drivers.
    ran a sfc /scannow, no errors found
    tried without and without Antivirus running (bit defender)
    removed SOTA completely, reinstalled SOTA.


    This is not crash to desktop, this is machine is now not responding, all audio is cut, screens are both off.

    Not sure how I can bug this, I could use some input narrowing this down.

    Anything in event log? It sounds like a lack of power to support the draw

    The machine is running on a smart ups ie any special power draws make the thing freak out.
    The machine has a single 1070ti and threadripper at stock speeds, no OC. I can stand between
    two other fire elemental statues in other peoples properties.

    Event log has nothing no errors or warnings. I'll continue testing by removing the fire elemental statue and see if i still get shutdowns.

    Debug and spec info.

    I devised an experiment.
    Smelt 10 silver ingots with fire elemental REMOVED. I smelted all 10.
    Reinstall fire elemental, Smelt 10 more ingots, pc crashes at 4 ingots smelted.

    This consistently crashes every single time with the fire elemental present.

    I'm providing pictures of the current setup to see if that may help in determining the issue.

    I've tried playing Path of Exile on directx 10 and 11, trying to incur heavy fire effects, and it handles it like a champ.
    I have only been able to make this crash with SOTA and this fire elemental. Especially while crafting / use the smelting / smith tables.

    For giggles I bought 3dmark and ran the fire strike 4k graphics test.
    Here are the results. I mean they aren't steller on the FPS (single 1070ti) but it did survive without crashing.

    If you have a better test recommendation, please let me know.

    The crash happens regardless of what you do. Disabling all shadows seems to avoid the crashes.
