My system crashes freezing the displays, while fortnite is running (idle and in-game).

System:
CPU: AMD FX 8350
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
GPU: ASUS NVIDIA GTX 760 2 GB
RAM: 8GB DDR3
PSU: EVGA 600B
SSD: SAMSUNG EVO 850 250GB
HHD: 1TB
 
Solution
1) Update all the drivers, like chipset https://www.amd.com/en/support network driver, and for gpu driver, you need to use DDU to uninstall the driver first, then reinstall it.

2) After done the drivers update, then monitor the cpu or gpu temp when you play the game, you can use MSI afterburner or other software.

3) Try other GPU, because gtx 760 is little bit old, it maybe going to die, just maybe.

4) one more, the EVGA 600B is not the good one, try other PSU too, if you have. Or use HWiNFO to check the +3.3V, +5V, and +12V voltages too, make sure the voltages are within +/-5%, like the +5V is within +4.75V to +5.25V, otherwise the PSU has problem...

By the way you can use this to monitor the cpu gpu temp too.

5) Or increase the GPU voltage little bit with msi afterburner, or unclock the GPU too, that will help the GPU runs more stable. Or lower the GPU power usage limit with MSI afterburner too.
