PC Crashes While Playing Fortnite But no Other Game

[jackweat08]

My PC has lately been crashing after about 30 minutes of Fortnite. The game starts freezing and stuttering, and the audio becomes glitcy before it freezes altogether. I also have to unplug my pc and back in for it to work after I shut it down. It’s only an issue with Fortnite, but I don’t get how a game to cause a pc to completely fail and not work again. Any fixes or ideas of why it’s happening?

I don’t know about anything else I’m new to pc stuff.

Maybe you had a problem installing the game. So try un-installing then re-installing the game to extra sure.

I am having the same problem with AC: Origins... After the title screen the display just crashes and I have to restart the system all over again.....other games re working fine

1.) Check if your system meets the minimum requirement or not.

2.) Run Fortnite as an Administrator.

3.) Make sure all your drivers are updated and your windows is updated.

4.) Stop some apps from running in the background.

5.) Ensure Ports 80, 443, 5222 are Unblocked.
