Fortnite led to PC crashes, while other titles remained stable.
I’ve begun playing Fortnite again, but after roughly 30 minutes to an hour, the game freezes for about half a minute, then all screens go dark and the PC restarts itself. There’s no blue screen warning, and I haven’t noticed any other problems. While monitoring temperatures, neither CPU nor GPU reaches high levels, so overheating isn’t the concern. This issue only appears in Fortnite, not when playing other titles like DayZ or Call of Duty Vanguard. My system specs are Intel i7 9700K, MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon cooler, BIOS 7B17v1C2, Corsair Hydro H100i RGB Platinum, 32GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM, and Windows 10 Pro (updated). I’ve reinstalled drivers, updated everything, and even reinstalled the game, but it still crashes. I haven’t done a full OS reinstall yet, hoping someone can help before that step. Edited July 4, 2022 by benjen999 I forgot to list the power supply in the specs.
Temperatures while running? - About 55 to 60 degrees for both CPU and GPU under load; higher in other games without crashes. Custom power cables? - Likely custom PSU cables, which I don’t have. SFC/scannow results? - Everything looks good, no errors detected.
Prime95 SmallFTT combined with FurMark offers enhanced performance and detailed analysis for your system.
I don't find any value in that. Perhaps using "&" would be better instead of "+". Performing both tests is a PSU stability check.
