[SOLVED] Most games crash after a few minutes (e.g. Fortnite / Warzone)
[SOLVED] Most games crash after a few minutes (e.g. Fortnite / Warzone)
For some time, Fortnite has had a habit of closing after a few minutes of play, sometimes as early as the first game and sometimes after 2/3. Now this extends to Warzone too.
The error messages are no help to be honest, no error codes, nothing. I suspect it might be the graphics card, but I don't know how to confirm that either. I have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super.
Edit: Problem solved, thanks to @[email protected], it was the RAM, twice already that Amazon delivers me a defective one. I've put the old one back in and no more problems.
When was the last time you updated your graphics card drivers? If not recent, give that a try.
Could also be RAM, have you run tests on that yet? Last tone I had games crashing it turned out I had a bad stick.
My drivers are updated, and I changed the RAM not so long ago (less than 6 months).
Sorry to hear the troubles you're facing with RAM, but I'm glad to see you know what it is!
To stress-test your gpu you can use Furmark. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/furmark/
Simply download it, install and launch it and crank the settings up nice and high.
Leave it run for an hour orso, and if Furmark crashes then your gpu is probably toast.
So the games are just closing? No blue/black screen, no system crashes? Did you scan your SSD for smart errors? I would try rolling back to a different Graphics driver. I assume you are on Windows?
The error messages are no help to be honest, no error codes, nothing.
So are there error messages, and if so post the exact text.
If games are crashing to desktop with no error message, that would make me think a memory or Windows problem.
How much RAM do you have? What version of Windows?
