Game Rainbow Six Siege keeps crashing while I'm playing it on my computer.
So recently, Rainbow Six Siege has been acting up for me on PC. I keep getting crashes during games at weird times. What goes down is my screen stops working completely but I still hear the game sound and it just closes itself without showing a red error box. One funny thing is that when I switch to Discord on my monitor, it refreshes, but I'm not sure if that helps anything.
I have tried almost everything online, like reinstalling five times in total, checking boxes for various settings, giving admin rights, and disabling fullscreen optimizations. Nothing has worked yet. But the problem seems different before I changed display mode from borderless to normal fullscreen. Before that change, the game would just close normally instead of crashing.
I haven't tried anything like messing with my BIOS or changing hardware because this is the only game acting up while everything else runs fine. My computer specs are an i5-9400F GPU (GTX 1660), 16GB RAM, and a system clock of cl18. The game itself is on an SSD; I used to put it on my hard drive before but that time it didn't crash so I can't say for sure if the storage issue is the cause.
My only last resort is reinstalling to the HDD. Anyone have any good advice?
Is your power supply unit still the old one? It's a 700-watt model. Can anyone explain why this specific one is so bad? The cooler makes a lot of noise, right? That's what I'm saying. My new rig has a GTX 580, and everyone says you need at least a 620-watt power supply to run it all. So what's wrong with the 700-watt unit here? Some people say it's okay for this specific card, but others think it's not enough because of everything else in the computer. I'm looking for an explanation from a friend who knows more about these things.
No, I put in a new NZXT C750 80+ gold right after that old one. Everything worked great then, but now things are acting up again.
