Hi! Moving the thread to Technical Support, as the entire computer crashing suggests some hardware or cooling failure and not a game-related issue!
Best regards

Right click on victoria3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.


If those don't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/CK3/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log , exceptions.log

Hello

I've tried your "disable fullScreen optimisations", however, that option doesn't even show and thus no other boxes appeared.

That said, my PC needed a deep cleaning badly and after removing all the dust inside, the game and computer just work perfectly again. Sorry for any
inconvenience I may have caused.

Y'all have a great day!

You've gone into the wrong screen then, as that shows for every .exe file in Windows.

Anyway glad you got there so quickly!
