Lately, I've been running into a really frustrating issue with Fortnite – my computer just freezes up on me while I’m playing. It gets completely stuck, and the only way to get it working again is to hold down the power button or sometimes it restarts by itself unexpectedly. I’ve already tried reinstalling both the graphics drivers and the game itself, but nothing seems to fix it. I honestly can't think of anything I might have done that could be causing this.

This Corsair power supply is 650 watts and just over a year and a half old.

I reset Windows about two weeks ago and it's been fine up until today where it happened once again. I didn’t get to see if it was going to happen over and over like before, but I thought I’d let you guys know.
