Execute Unity-exe causes computer shutdown (with new graphic card GTX 1080)
Hey everybody :)
I have a problem, since I've got my new graphisc card for Windows 7 (Intel Xeon).
Details of Graphics Card:
I have a Unity Standalone for Windows. If I execute the .exe-file, the computer shutdown instantly. Before even the Standalone player appears.
The output_log file is empty. I searched for graphics card BIOS/Firmware Update , but didn't found something at the asus website. Third-party firmware is too risky.
Have anybody advice? The .exe-file worked with my old graphics card (Quadro), but GPU was overloaded.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, ungstef
And does this happen in the editor or only in a build? What version of Unity are you using?
If the computer just shuts down there should be a message in the System log which hopefully has the reason its happening. You can inspect the System log with the Windows Event Viewer. There should be a critical/error event at the the time of the shutdown.

Try uninstalling Unity and Installing the newest version. Also I have had trouble in the past with GPU Monitoring software (such as EVGA Precision X / MSI Afterburner), so maybe try turning those off once you re-install.
Make sure that you have removed your old GPU software / drivers.
Also Windows updates, make sure that you are up to date. Windows 7 is pretty terrible in terms of keeping itself up to date.

Thank you for your quick response :)
I fixed it. The graphical card had not enough current. There was just 6 pins instead of 8 pins.
