Are you experiencing frequent game crashes?
Hi Thomas,
Just installed the driver you sent, version 497.29?
Also, I looked for updates on Windows but it says it's up to date.
About the exclusions, I tried everything with Windows Defender and the firewall.
For permissions, I'm not sure what to do.
Also, the drives—Fortnite was installed on both HDD and SSD, and they crashed on both. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times on each.
I attempted to set full permissions for the Fortnite folder by adjusting its properties, but after trying to grant complete control, the error appeared. I'm unsure why I wouldn't have been allowed that level of access.
Hi Calquat,
still need you to run crystal disk info to check for errors and eliminate hardware problems. It’s a process of elimination to identify what might be causing the issue.
Can you monitor PSU voltage while playing with afterburner?
Instructions:
Open MSI afterburner → Settings → Monitoring tab → click next to Active Hardware Monitoring → tick hwinfo.dll
Tick PSU 5v, 3v, 12v and enable OSD.
Did you manage to update your Windows to version 21H2?
Also, could you try the following:
Add exclusions in anti-virus for all game folders
Set permissions for all game folders to everyone

So the first approach didn't work but the second one did, I've now successfully adjusted the folder permissions. Concerning the voltage monitoring, I followed all the steps properly, but the OSD isn't showing up in my game. I checked if anything else would display and the GPU usage, temperature, etc., look normal. Still unsure why the voltages aren't appearing?
On a side note: I want to thank you for taking the time to assist me, it means a lot.
