I recently bought a wheel (Logitech g920) and decided to start driving again. After a few hours of racing my computer restarted with no warning at all. I updated all wheel and graphics card drivers. I ran a whole bunch of A.I. races and never had this problem before. And I played Fornite, GTA5, Lego Star Wars:Skywalker Saga, BeamNG and never had this problem. I have no clue what is wrong or how to fix it?
For the heck of it, unplug your wheel and kill the software for it. Start NR2003, of course it will complain about the wheel(I really don't remember what it does with no wheel suddenly, I think you can still start it after doing what is next>) If I am correct it will show the calibration stuff(too bad cannot hit esc here) Click OK Then MAKE SURE you hit Escape next to discard changes. It should then keep your wheel settings so you do not lose them.
OK now run what crashed last hit drive and just get it onto the track and let it go for a bit, try to drive if you want. May be able to Rule IN or OUT whether it is the wheel and/or the software doing it.
If it still crashes, then it should be nothing to do with new wheel... Move on to whatever other changes may have been made.
Not sure off hand otherwise. If you have not changed the graphics card...
Also check into the tweaks for the game, not sure how much you have been into NR2003.
Good luck and Happy Holidays!!
