Is Rainbow Six Siege causing your PC to crash?
the psu is one year old, i bought it brand new. i thoroughly cleaned my pc, replaced most components, reapplied thermal paste, and everything seemed fine. my ram felt a bit warm though. in reliability history, i noticed three crashes from a few days ago (i had more since then but they don’t appear). two of them might be related to the ram.
As Ralston18 mentioned, perform a clean out of your PC and ensure you have the latest update for the game. It's not necessarily the issue, but if you accidentally hit someone on your team with friendly fire, they must press F6 within about 5 seconds to inform the server it was acceptable. Continuing this will result in being kicked from the match.
I cleaned everything and reinstalled windows and siege, so the issue isn't with the software. Yes, I'm a level 400 champion in siege and understand how the game functions. My PC keeps crashing due to one of my components.
Even at one year old, the PSU might be close to its end of life due to various factors.
Especially with heavy gaming usage.
Consider swapping it out simply for another working PSU.
Make sure to use only the cables that came with the PSU.
Or if you own a multimeter and know how to operate it, you can perform a partial test.

This isn’t a complete test since the PSU isn’t under load.
But any voltages outside tolerance would indicate the PSU is less reliable.
