so i updated the bios and the only reason I already said I did was because the day after I updated the first time there was a new one out the next day, so I didn't bother checking because I didn't think that they came out that frequently. sorry guys lol
thank you @OldTreeCreeper helped knowing that someone wanted to help and yes I have started up apex 3 different times now and it has worked well

@Buyable8 how full is your hard drive?

Do you have your os on a seperate drive to other programs, games and data?

Have you cleaned up your hard drive and defragmented it?

Do not defragment a ssd.

Ccleaner is free and is good for cleaning up.

It's counterpart defraggler is a very good defragmenter.

Do not defragment more than once a month.

Do file defragment one month or every big game update and full defrag other month.

Use Windows cleaner to remove old copies of Windows and old restore points.

Go into windows settings/storage and get rid of other restore copies, can easily be up to 40 gig.

If you only have 1 drive consider partitioning it and put os on one partition and games etc on the other.

Only defrag after cleanup.

It is possible that your drive is failing, make sure to back up important data ASAP. Jic.

Do other large games work?

@OldTreeCreeper I have 1.8 TB of storage open on my hard drive (2TB drive)
i have my steam and steam library on my hard drive, my os is on ssd which is a samgsung 970 evo 500gb
i have never cleaned or defragmented my hard drive (I have only had this pc for around 1 month though)
I did all the other stuff you had said to do
if you consider rainbow six siege to be a big game then yes other big games have worked if rainbow six does not count as a big game then i can download call of duty warzone if you want
im just confused as to why my pc restarts, and doesn't just crash apex
