Rainbow Six Siege Computer Crash
Hey, my rainbow six siege keeps making my WHOLE COMPUTER crash everytime I play a game, for example, I played Ranked once, and my whole computer crashed and rebooted by itself while we were picking defenders. That was the first round. As soon as my computer restarted it was already round 3. So I had missed 2 round etc.... You get what I mean. This is getting really annoying and I am considering just stopping to play this game. it is starting to really piss me off. Thanks to anyone who can help. FIY my computer is not a bad computer, I actually have a beast computer. The Computer just crashes without any warning whatsoever, and reboots. Thanks

Your power supply is failing and shutting down due to not being able to provide power to the parts.
Possibly also getting too hot.

I recently upgraded my computer, I dont think that It would overheat by a game like siege, I play GTAV Without any problems...

Siege is quite a more demanding game. If you have a bad power supply, it can do this.
What's the model of your psu?

Ok, so pretty decent power supply. But it could be defective.
Also do you have any overclocks on cpu or ram?

I have a beast of a cpu as well, I have NOT overclocked. Intel Core i7 8700K

That pretty much just leaves the psu as the culprit.
Although I guess the motherboard could also be the issue.

But that's pretty rare.

When you have major events like this, always check the Event Viewer. It will give you an understanding of what happened, and point you towards the next step in troubleshooting.

Oh yeah, I always forget about the event viewer. That is indeed something that needs to be checked.

wtf is a event viewer

Right click on the Start-icon, you will find shortcut to Event Viewer in there. Then check the
First option on the list.

LOL no it is not, not at all.
GTAV wipes the floor clean with being "demanding"
SIEGE runs perfectly smooth on even a much older PC like an FX-6300 w/ GTX 970
Nothing really demanding about it.


> Verify your game ~ Do this after every single time a game updates or finishes installing. This ensures all files are 100% intact, nothing corrupted or missing.

> Disable Defender and OneDrive. OneDrive will screw up your games by re-syncing files back from Cloud, back into your Documents folder. Get a better AV, such as Malwarebytes to take the place of Defender. Upon installing something like Malwarebytes or others, it has a setting to register it with Windows Security/Action Center so that Defender will in-turn get disabled

> Ensure you download and install all your Drivers, and keep them updated as needed.
Chipset, GPU, Audio, LAN, WiFi, BT, etc... not just GPU.

> Monitor your CPU & GPU Temps *C

Event Viewer is the key to reviewing errors.
Most times you will never see an error splash in your face on the screen, but it occurred and has a log for it. It's all in Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application

You fail to understand the difference in the graphic settings that can be run with that kind of system vs OP's system.
OP clearly is running it maxed out.

Although he never has told the full specs, the i7 8700K already gives some idea on what they have.

Also, Defender/OneDrive, lack of drivers or high temps do not cause crashing.
While high temps did cause crash in old parts back in the age of Core2Duo/Quad, new ones will just simply throttle in speed, never crash.

The only one which can crash due to high temperature, is power supply thanks to overheat protection.

Actually no, it can be any of those I listed, I see it all the time.
Yes I highly suspect poor PSU as well. But namely faulty RAM or Drive can be an issue too.
Not to mention maybe it's not thermal throttling; or simply overheating too quickly. But given if the OP can run GTAV for lengthy periods just fine, then I doubt overheating is the issue, cause GTAV for just 10-15 mins will heat up any PC quite a bit if the cooling was lacking.

One of the biggest issues we see with PCs is poor PSUs. Cause people have zero clue about them and don't bother to even think that part of the PC is important. It's one of the most important parts actually.
