PC Freezes and makes me reset

Aug 9, 2017 1:01AM PDT

Recently i downloaded Rainbow six siege and ever since i first started playing it my whole pc freezes and makes me restart. I have tried to troubleshoot the computer by reseting the bios, checking for driver updates, and resetting my overclocks. I have realized that the game doesnt crash the pc instead its the pc's fault. Right after logging into my pc its freezes and makes me restart. PLZ help this is hurting my brain and i am not looking forward to a full reset. Any advice will help.

- Does your PC meet the minimum system requirements of the game?
- Do you run a legal or a cracked copy? If the first, what does the customer support of the game maker say?

Because folk download crack copies of software it's a factor/question that has to be asked.

If the PC freezes after login, try SAFE MODE and if that works, create a new local Windows account (how on Windows 10 is at https://www.howtogeek.com/226540/how-to-create-a-new-local-user-account-in-windows-10/ and if that works, it's something in your user account (corrupt profile?) or startup items in that account.

If both accounts fail but SAFE MODE works then you boot SAFE MODE and run MSCONFIG to uncheck what items you can in the startup tab. Read more at https://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/
