My PC crashed while playing the open beta, my friend and I were playing and for a solid 5 minutes my fans just suddenly went full speed and all my monitors turned off, but I still had desktop audio and voice from discord.
I rebooted and everything came back online and looked normal in terms of temperature and settings, so I relaunched Diablo 4 assuming I’d get re-queued to play some more… Unfortunately, no dice. My PC immediately turned off when Diablo 4 launched again and now it won’t even turn back on. I have tried power cycling the power supply and thankfully I can see that some of my USB devices are getting power, but I am still not getting any response from the power button on my desktop.
It seems there are critical issues with the D4 beta that could potentially cause harm to people’s PCs.

Same here, I played for a total of not more than 1 hour and my PC has a full crash, wouldnt even boot up at all.
I’m sorry to hear that. I left it for this morning as a “that’s a tomorrow’s problem” type of thing. I tried power cycling the PSU this morning, reseating my Gigabyte 3080TI. Still nothing… Unfortunately I’ve also read several articles this morning and last night that say that several Gigabyte 3080 TI owners are reporting bricked GPUs after playing the Beta.
So I went and grabbed my old GPU (EVGA 2080) and my PC powered right up, so unfortunately there is something going on that is killing GPUs, and I’m sorry, but there is 0 reason a one year old GPU wouldn’t be able to handle this game.
Exactly. That’s why all who are affected, must RMA their bricked card back to the manufacturer who botched the hardware, sell the card and never buy their products again.
This is hardware issue, nothing to do with game, graphics card MUST handle all games, if it can’t, its faulty.

I’ve already begun the RMA process, but I still think that Blizzard has to take this information and make sure that nothing in the game is doing this. I don’t disagree that the GPU is at fault too, but do you blame your RAM when there is a memory leak in a game?
I can’t agree with you that this has NOTHING to do with the game because I play several other video games on my PC at full graphics settings without ever getting to a remotely dangerous temperature. This game has something to do with it.
This happened before with new world.
The game is stressing the card in a certain way that is exposing a hardware flaw.
So yes, the game is doing something but the card has a flaw. In the current day, there shouldn’t be anything software wise that should brick a card.

Does your RAM brick when there is a memory leak? No. If it does, its memory fault, not the game.
Does your power supply blow up when you play some very demanding game? No. If it does, its PSU fault, not the game.
Does your CPU brick when you compress some big archive for many hours, or demand all cores at 100% in some benchmark? No. If it does, its CPU fault, not the game.
Does your GPU brick when game demands full performance from it in some game? No. If it does, its GPUs fault, and it must be replaced and fixed. Until this day, this was obvious to everyone, but now crybabies come to the game support forum, and blame hardware fault on some SOFTWARE which simply demanded full performance from your card. Edit: actually this happened before with Amazon’s New World game, which also demanded full power from the hardware, and guess what cards were affected then as well? Same or very similar Nvidia RTX models. What D4 has to do with New Amazon? Nothing. What faulty Nvidia RTX card has to do with another faulty Nvidia RTX card? Everything.
Imagine crypto miners, who utilize their GPUs 24/7 at 100%, blaming mining program that their GPU bricked. What a nonsense.
