Blank UAC window on startup forces reboot
After the game crashed and restarted, the CPU fan made a strange noise. After forcing it to stop, it crashed again. After that, the network card disappeared, the device/task manager could not be open...
The strange noises from the CPU fan and hardware issues suggest a potential hardware failure, possibly overheating or a failing fan/motherboard. If the hardware tests indicate problems, replacing the faulty component (fan, motherboard, etc.) might be necessary.
