Hi all,
I recently upgraded to EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 from Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660. Since then, I am unable to play Fortnite. Keeps crashing on me. I get an error saying "Application FortniteClient has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware."
When I tried running FurMark for video stress testing, I get the same error.
Here is what I have already tried.
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the graphics card.
2. Ran sfc /scannow.
3. Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and also /RestoreHealth.
4. Uninstall and re-install Fortnite.
5. Removed and re-seated the video card.
6. Added EPIC Games and Fortnite to Avast anti-virus allowed games list.
My specs are:
CPU: i5-4670 @ 3.4GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3
Motherboard: ASUS Z87-K
PSU: Thermaltake 700 Watts
Storage: 250GB Samsung EVO SSD
OS: Windows 10 Pro version 1803
I am stumped as to what is the issue with this video card. I need help fixing this. Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
