Rainbow Six: Siege often needs a restart after five minutes of play without issue.
It began affecting me only this evening, previously no issues. Within five minutes of a match, my computer would shut down and restart instantly. After a restart, everything seems normal again. I notice similar behavior with COD: Warzone—when launching the game it restarts my PC before it even starts. My setup includes a Ryzen 5 5600X, GeForce RTX 3060, Corsair 750W SF power supply, and an NZXT 280mm AIO case. I’m fairly certain it’s not overheating; temperatures stay below 60°C, often around 70°C at most.
I really question the PSU since it fits comfortably within the 5600x and 3060 range. It’s possible the issue lies with Windows. Would you have another PSU available for testing? If not, I might think about reformatting and installing fresh Windows to determine if that resolves the problem.
Another possibility is running a couple full memtest sessions just to check if the system suddenly fails. Unlikely, but it has happened before. It’s the rarest chance. You wouldn’t even bring it up, but it’s something to consider when you’re waiting. They do take a long time.
