Just got a new PC 2 weeks ago, and was running Fortnite fine, but all of a sudden it has been crashing my entire PC after being in a game for 5ish minutes. I can load the game up, and sit in lobby indefinitely. However, any game mode will crash my whole computer shortly after starting.

PC specs:

CPU AMD Ryzen™ 7 Processor 8700F 8C/16T 4.1GHz [Turbo 5.0GHz] 24MB Cache AM5 65W

Motherboard B850 WIFI + BT Motherboard

RAM / System Memory 32GB (16GBx2) DDR5-6000MHz

Video Card GeForce RTX™ 5070 12GB GDDR7 Video Card

Primary Hard Drive 2TB PCIe NVMe GEN4 M.2 SSD

Power Supply 1,000 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold Power Supply

What I’ve tried: Reinstalling Fortnite / Lowering ALL graphics settings / Running in performance mode / Changing out ram and resetting bios /Verifying game files / Running game in windows 8 mode / Turning off memory isolation core /Turning off nvidia overlay / Repairing anti cheat /Deleting config files / Updated all drivers

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, thank you for patiently waiting. As per checking and analyzing the event logs, there are multiple EasyAntiCheat_EOSSys warnings on the PC. This is an app for your games to run with integrity, and for us to sort out the issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

     

    Uninstall EasyAntiCheat:

     

    Press the Windows key + R and type in:

     

    %appdata%\easyanticheat

     

    Then hit OK

     

    Delete the EasyAntiCheat folder, then restart the PC and check.

     

    Note: If you have third-party anti-virus, I suggest uninstalling it as well, and if neither works, I suggest reinstalling the game.

    In addition, there are also multiple BugChecks on the PC if the issue persists. Can you please check if you have minidump files on the PC so I can further examine the root cause of the issue?

     

    Press Windows key + E (To open File Explorer)

     

    Click "This PC" > then follow the file path:

     

    C:\Windows\Minidump

     

    Copy the Minidump files and save them to another location, like the Desktop or Documents.

     

    Then please upload it to Cloud storage like OneDrive or any cloud storage you are using, and please share the shareable link here.

    To upload and share the link using OneDrive:

    Go to this link: https://onedrive.live.com/, then upload the file

    Then, provide the shareable link by following the steps from this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-onedrive-files-and-folders-9fcc2f7d-de0c-4cec-93b0-a82024800c07

    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    Have you noticed if there is any high usage in the task manager, such as Disk, GPU, RAM, or CPU? While waiting, can you please check the System logs on the PC so I can further examine the root cause of the issue?
