Valheim Crashed my Computer

Yesterday while playing Valheim, my computer went black. i pressed restart and went to my desktop with no drivers installed whatsoever. I troubleshooted my entire pc and went to the conclusion that it was Valheim. My specs:

i5 4460
rx580
16gb ram
550w silver
ASrock mobo

The texture res fools people. Valheim will absolutely cook your hardware if anything's below spec.

This is accurate.
I've got a 9600k and a RTX2070, GPU is usually at around 70C (~170F) and CPU around 80C (~175F)
Though thats with overclocks and running at 4k, max settings.

I'd love to agree with this, as you are typically on point Mharr, I am running a busted system and it doesn't melt.

i5
nvidia geforce 940mx 2 gb of ram
2tb solid state
16 gb ram

25 fps out in the wild
18 at a moderate base
3 at a massively terraformed base build
27 peak

i have over 146 hours into the game, i've even played some pretty intensive games. Second heat; my heats pretty good, only have over 61 c while gaming. So, not bad

Can my PSU be the problem? Or mods?

I think you may have reached the wrong conclusion.
