Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Update
2014 iMac i7 4Ghz
24 GB RAM
1 TB Fusion Drive
M295X

I have played Battlefield 1, Skyrim, and Borderlands 2. Machine will randomly shut off while playing for a few minutes.

The graphics look great and I followed the instructions in the readme to install.

Anyone else having this issue?

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm using the Crimson ReLive 17.4.2 driver.

Update: Tried the 17.3.2 driver and it did the same thing.

I didn't read that part in the README because I didn't think I'd need it since I wasn't going to overclock it. Thanks man!
