Hello, Just the other day i built my self a brand new PC, and everything works perfectly, I can run every game perfect besides fortnite. Every time I play fortnite I can play for about 10 minutes then my game will crash. I have seen another post on this issue about 3 months ago but nothing was brought up about a fix. I really don't know what to do and if anyone has fix please help. here is the link to the other users REDDIT post: I get the same error message in the game logs that the other user did as well.

Check Reliability History and Event Viewer on your computer. See what error codes or warnings Windows is catching about Fortnite crashes. Update this post with details like the PSU maker, model, wattage, age, and condition. Also tell us about your hard drives: make, model, how much space they have, and how full are they?

I want to add some post details about my power supply unit (PSU). I bought a 2TB Samsung SSD for m.2 but it's still pretty new, basically brand new. I'm just starting out with my computer. I have 1.6TB of free space on the SSD now and an extra 2TB HDD that is empty and waiting to be used.

Just send me some info about your Power Supply Unit. Did you check Reliability History? It's easier to use than Event Viewer, so please head over there first.

Ok, I got a brand new EVGA 210-GQ-100-v1. It has 1000G Q, an 80+ Gold 1000W PSU, and it's been around in the reliability field before. When my game crashes, it shows up with a critical Windows hardware error and the problem event name is LiveKernelEvent

I found in the Event Viewer that my game crashed five minutes before a Kernel-Event Tracing Error appeared. The error said this Session "dfa2c640-651d-488d-a479-2fd7a7ca6e29" failed to start with code 0xC0000022. Then right when my game crashed, I got a warning for my display saying the Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and successfully recovered.

Another warning showed up in the Event Viewer for my computer. It says that something called FortniteClient got shut down so it can't use the graphics cards now.

Hey there, I hope you figured something out about this. My game keeps happening the exact same thing: the Error Code says Application FortniteClient can't access Graphics hardware because it's been blocked.

Hey, do you still think you fixed this? My games keep crashing too. Did you figure out why Fortnite can't access the graphics chip? I checked all the logs in Event Viewer but couldn't find it there. It looks more like "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding."
