Crazy as it sounds, I've had a breaker giving me issues into my new home I just recently moved into, and it only happens when playing deep rock. It's happened on about 6 or 7 separate occasions now, and that seems to be the only correlation besides just my PC. It's happened with literally the only things drawing power on that circuit are my PC, monitor, and the router, with everything else powered off. Or on some occasions, with multiple lights, a tv, and other things drawing power as well. My friend had made a comment about "oh haha what if its deep rock becuase that's usually what we're playing when it happens", but that's literally the truth come to realize. I've played forza horizon 5, back 4 blood, fallout 4, halo infinite, and plenty of other MUCH more demanding games that I figure would cause me to draw enough power to trip it, but it's only been with deep rock. Idk, maybe it's some freak coincidence, but I'm at a total loss currently. Thoughts?

The software shouldn't be the issue on this, so what I think is happening is that Deep Rock Galactic is probably stressing your system in a way that other games do not. It's not very GPU heavy due to the low poly art style, but does use RAM and CPU - so my guess is that you may have issues with one of those two.
