Problem seems to be resolved. I also changed the GPU, but that did nothing. I ended up upgrading the motherboard and processor with new ones. Bigbox navigation is a lot smoother now too.

Thanks for this. Actually, I tried using ddu when this issue first started. I had no luck with that method. I don't have any SATA devices. I have a 250gb NVME drive for my os and a 1tb NVME drive for data.

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually tried installing Launchbox in another location, but that didn't help. I'll try the Windows scan. I'm leaning towards this being a GPU issue. I've already replaced the PSU with no luck. I ran a CPU and GPU stress test again and the PC rebooted as soon as I started the GPU test. The PC is a cyberpower gaming PC that I bought off of Amazon a little over 2 years ago. The Rebooting issue started a little over a year ago. The problem did stop for about 3 months when I reinstalled Windows a while back, but the issue has come back. Weird.

Thanks for the reply. I have no plugins installed. Event Viewer always shows critical and error events when the crash occurs. The last crash occurred today at 3:47PM and the following critical level event shows in event viewer at that time: (The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.) Here is what's strange though. At the same time, I show this error event: (The previous system shutdown at 3:38:33 PM on ‎1/‎2/‎2022 was unexpected.) I know for a fact that there was no shutdown at 3:38:33 PM as stated in the error event. The PC was up and running at that time. Every critical event in event viewer shows an error event at the same time. However, all of the error event seem to show incorrect information regarding shutdown times. The photo may help explain.

I've been troubleshooting this issue for over a year and I'm honestly out of options now. I'm experiencing random reboots on my PC with Launchbox/BigBox and I'm to the point where I think it has something to do with BigBox. I suspected a bad PSU, but I just replaced it and it didn't help anything. GPU and CPU temperatures seems to be within specs. When playing Fortnite on this PC, the GPU will get to about 80 C and the CPU 75 C, but the PC never reboots when playing graphics intensive games like Fortnite, RocketLeague and Rainbox 6 Siege. It only seems to crash when I'm navigating the BigBox games menus. Video - Another annoyance in BigBox is when I go to the Manage Themes menu for example. When backing out of that menu to the main options menu, BigBox will hang for about 15 to 30 seconds before it actually gets to the main menu. It never crashes when doing this, but my BigBox installation started behaving like this about a year ago and has been doing this ever since. I'm running the latest drivers on this PC. Any help would be appreciated. System Specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.19 GHz 16 GB Ram EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3 GB

shalamigri 1 9h I Think I figured it out. It had something to do with me choosing to hit autoconfig in the user 1 bindings in retroarch. I had made a change to those bindings and hit save autoconfig. I then tried to play a game, but the only buttons that worked were the ones I made changes to (start and select buttons). Something told to go the config folder and then xinput folder. I went down to the xinput user cfg file and noticed that 2 of them were there. I deleted the file that had parenthesis around user 1. My controller started working again after that. I got my hotkey working too. There must have been a conflict with the Virtualhere client and severs I had setup. After uninstalling and reinstalling those programs, my hotkeys started working.

Not sure if this is the problem, but I have 2 installations of Retroarch installed on my gaming PC. One installation is for the local arcade cabinet and is controlled by a tankstick. The other installation is for streaming games to my Nvidia Shield TV boxes. Is it possible that these 2 installations are interfering with each other? Last night, I had everything set up how I wanted it (other than the QUIT hotkey issue) on my streaming installation of Retroarch. I then opened the other installation for the local arcade cabinet and played a few games using the local tankstick controller. After doing that, I tried to play a game from my streaming installation, but none of my controls worked. In the input settings, I noticed that the input device index had been set to disabled. I changed it back to the xinput device, but it seemed that the changes would not stick after exiting Retroarch. The controllers would only work inside of Retroarch GUI at this point. After messing around even more, the controllers stopped working altogether. Not sure if this will cause issue, but here is my folder structure: D:\ \Folder Containing LaunchBox Installation For Local Arcade Cabinet \Folder Containing LaunchBox Installation For Streaming To Nvidia Shield TV Boxes \Folder Containing Emulators For Local Arcade Cabinet \Folder Containing Emulators For Streaming To Nvidia Shield TV Boxes \Folder Containing Rom Files

I'm having a strange issue trying to set a hotkey in Retroarch. I have Launchbox/Big Box installed on a gaming PC. I also use Nvidia's Gamestream to stream to 3 Nvidia Shield TV boxes. I also use the Virtualhere server to use the Dolphinbar (for using my Wii remotes with Dolphin) on 2 of my Nvidia Shield TV boxes. Everything runs fine and all of my controllers work on all of my Nvidia Shield devices. However, for some strange reason, I cannot set the Hotkey in retro-arch that allows me to quit retro-arch using my Nvidia game controllers. This seems odd because I can actually use my Nvidia controllers to navigate through Retroarch, but whenever I try to bind the button on my right analog stick to the QUIT hotkey, nothing registers. What's even more puzzling is that I actually had this working about five days ago, but after messing around trying to do something with the Xpadder program I've had for a while, I started having all kinds of issues. After playing around with Xpadder, none of my Nvidia controllers would no longer work with Retroarch using the Gamestream experience. I could use the controllers in Big box, they just would not work in Retroarch. I ended up deleting Xpadder, but that didn't solve anything. I then went into Retroarch and deleted the retroarch.cfg file, but that didn't help. I finally deleted my Retroarch installation and started from scratch. My controllers on all of my Nvidia Shield TV boxes now work again, but I can't change any of the hotkeys through the Retroarch GUI how I had done before. For now, I only have Retroarch set up for a total of 1 player(s). The input binds for user 1 are set to Retropad and the device is set to Xinput device. My input driver is set to dinput and my controller driver is set to xinput. Here is a scenario to explain it better. Let's say I'm on one of my Nvidia Shield TV boxes playing a streamed game. I then use my Nvidia controller to exit Big Box by using the hotkey I set in Big Box. I then use the right stick as a mouse to open my Retroarch program on my gaming computer. From there, I navigate to the Input Hotkeys section in Retroarch using my Nvidia controller. I go down to the Quit Retroarch HOTKEY. I hit the A button on my controller. It starts counting down waiting for an input from me. I hit my right analog stick button, but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
