Should I get a new CPU

My computer says that everything is perfectly fine for space engine, but after playing it for a couple minutes, it shuts down the entire system. Why is that? How do I fix it?

At the edge of the solar system, galaxy, and universe. Magnificent desolation.

In some places of Space Engine, the scenery may overwhelm even the most knowledgeable and experienced gamer

Space Engine has opened my eyes to many space epics I never thought possible, and sometimes I fantasize among the myriad of star systems in Space Engine there might hold many scenic natural landscapes.

Imagine a rocky super-Earth with a volcano erupting magma, and this super-Earth has a super-oceanic moon. These views seem to be quite common, but under the nature's ingenious work, when you look at the sky from the foot of the volcano, this blue super-oceanic moon, like the most perfect sapphire of the nature, is placed right on the lava-covered caldera of the volcano. The blood-red lava-covered summit and the mountainside, which blended with the blue sky, made a perfect base for the display. What an interstellar exhibition!

The Space Engine also inspired more fantasies! I had visions of a huge Saturn-like gas giant hanging in the sky, with a huge ring stretching out to the edge of the sky, and a brilliant multi-phase turbulence of colorful high-velocity gases intertwined with the gas giant. The sky above the poles of the gaseous planet was still covered with colorful auroras that were a crown, a symbol of dominance. There was also a huge big red spot on the gaseous planet, at this time, a super oceanic moon covered that huge big red spot, that azure liquid from outer space, as an eyeball, the ice caps at the poles of the super ocean planet, as eyelids, together with the edges of that big red spot, together constitute a huge eye, which is a once-in-a-million-years spectacle! The splendid turbulence on the gaseous planet is like the wrinkles on the face of an elder, together with this huge eye, witnessing the ups and downs of the universe. Whenever I think of this scene, I feel the insignificance of human beings in the universe!

I also saw some screenshots on this subreddit about a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy rising from the horizon, but this scene could be even more breathtaking! In the vastness of the night sky, amidst the dense sea of bright blue, snow-white, fire-red, and other colorful blazing stars, a supermassive black hole slowly swims through this clear sea of stars until it just barely passes through the crater of a volcano on a barren planet! That bright sky-blue relativistic jet emitted by accretion disk is as if it were just vertically erupted from the crater of a mountain whose summit was covered by snow-capped peaks from the view of the ground, and that blazing relativistic accretion disk emitting a bright yellow color, as if it was just horizontally passed through the mountain of the volcano that blended with the hue of the starry sky when viewed from the ground! The demonic clouds that encircled the halfway point of the mountain! Or was it one of the most beautiful rings the black hole had ever given to this planet? Perhaps there is only one such spectacle in the Virgo Supercluster! The universe is cold and cruel and romantic!

Is there any binary supermassive black holes system in space engine?

For example, when two galaxies merge, maybe their respective black holes will orbit around each other

Help with game crashes

So I alt+f4ed while on control of a spaceship, and since then, Space Engine crashes when I click "Continue". Anyone else had an experience like this? What could be my options? Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help.
