Sorry kids... Running a daycare from hom because of covid "thats what i meant back to work" some kids stay the night here and there. So you have all this done did you make sure windows is up to date
Sorry im slow and missed that
Ok I have installed the mobo drivers, graphics card driver and updated windows what's next? @white.a.drew
Alright so have you set your ram timing and docp?
 
Make sure you set up back up again, and get you school stuff installed again.

Backup is on automatically.
Ok so good news. It launched first time. Tried it both with the Epic Games Launcher and the shortcut, that's the first time it launched with both. It asked if it EasyAntiCheat (EAC) could make changes, I said yes and it still launched with BattleEye (one it's launched with in past) but whenever I'd let EAC make changes it would launched with it and then crash. It didn't do that it just launched with BattleEye both times. So unless I install EAC I won't know 100% if everythings fixed. Last time I just left it working and after a few days it changed to EAC on its own so I'll find out eventually. Not sure if I should try it or just leave it working.

Go ahead and install if there's an issue I know where to go from here I had this problem my self
 
Oh really? with the same launcher? I assume it's not my PSU if my PC can run the game just not on one of the launchers. I'll install it now and let you know.
OK and yes not the PSU like I was sayingin the start it is a high tier PSU even if it's not the x the x is just the highly recommended vs the non and that's because it has a little more stable v rail for CPU I believe. It's just a software complaince issue

Yeah that makes sense now cause I did have an issue with Windows at the start I downloaded it onto my D drive instead of my C drive and wouldn't get it to boot.
So I installed EAC from 'C/: Program files > Epic Games > Fortnite > FortniteGame > Binaries >Win64 > EasyAntiCheat' and it still only launches with BattleEye. I don't have a problem with this there's no performance difference. Just don't know why it's happening. I installed it multiple times, tried launching from the shortcut and the Epic Games Launcher and it still launched with BattleEye. Tried installing it and restarting my PC and it still launched with BattleEye.

Yeah it will it has to launch battle eye anti cheat so that it can read if you are hacking or not. It's they're way of verifying your games files match they're files

Sounds like your system is up and running properly again

I think so man. Hopefully that's the end of my problems fingers crossed.
Is there anything we should try to get EAC or should I just leave it?
Also is there any useful programs/apps you recommend me to get like CPU-Z etc?
And thank you so much for all your help and patience with me and my stupidity lol. I was stressing emailing people trying to get help. I probably would've ended up sending it away somewhere. You also saved me money for not wasting money on a new PSU! Thank you for everything, I hope you have a great rest of your day and an even better week :)
