[itzxethan13]

So for about 3-4 weeks ago i got back into playing fortnite and everytime i open fortnite it goes black screen for 1 sec and then opens up but i noticed that my applications such as nvidia control panale and especially ICUE software just shut down and exit i do not know what has caused of this to happen but its really annoying me it also did it with r6s

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for error codes and warnings that occur when fortnite is opened.

Use Task Manager or Resource monitor to observe system performance for a few minutes before opening fortnite.

Open fortnite and you may see some change that occurs during that 1 second or thereafter.

My overall thought is that the PSU is deteriorating and may no longer be able to handle the power demands that are suddenly imposed.
