[Tech support] crashing out of team fortress 2 matches (hilariouschaos.com)

Using Mint cinnamon

I can launch the game easily enough. When I start playing in a match everything works fine initially. Anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes into a match my fans will ramp up to full before my PC hangs and turns itself off.

Launching from steam with "-windowed -noborders" in the launch options, without this the game refuses to launch at all. Adding "-vulcan" to this causes no change to the above situation. I've tried running with a steam compatibility tool but it also refuses to launch. Happens when launching with the legacy opengl option too.

Don't know what to do from here, haven't seen anything similar looking online

Heat or memory issue.

Are your fans running?

Yeah, I've run TF2 on this same PC with no issues before. Any ideas?

If it's a time-based issue, it's heat or memory.

If you can boot back to Windows and have no problems at all, that would be interesting.

I'll check my usage when I get home, it's running other games just fine
