    GPU crashes when starting any Game, like fortnite


    Hey, my nvidia 2080 just started making games crash and lag just after starting it, never had problems before. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, changed location in pc for the gpu, and also changed position for the gpu charging cable. The night before it started doing this i heard some electrical noises coming from the pc when i turned it off. Any tips?

    :)

    Its just fortnite. Ween I play other games like apex legends or the finals I havé not that much cpu usage and my gpu is like 90 %. In fortnite I have 100 cpu and 20 gpu and it crashes.

    Custom gaming pc for Fortnite...need help!!!

    Honestly just about any decent machine will handle Fortnite with ease so you could probably spend half that and still build a decent machine for Fortnite.

    That said, the system listed is a nice build and one that's future proof more demanding games. You might consider building it not just for Fortnite, but other stuff.

    Again, any decent system can handle Fortnite so from that perspective the specs listed above is over kill. But if you want something future proof and powerful that system is a nice place to start.

    Anyway the only suggestion I have (based on the assumption of an OS drive) is to get a 512gig SSD drive, and put the extra money towards a 2TB or more HDD drive for games and other data. The only real difference between putting games on an SSD drive vs. HDD drive is faster load times. The other thing you could do, though it's more money, is again, go with a 515gig SSD for the OS, and a 1TB SSD for games and data.

    I just don't see an OS drive needing a 1TB SSD drive. I've got multiple SSD drives in my system with the OS drive being a 512gig SSD drive and my other SSD drives holding other data. The OS drive houses all the OS's native files and folders - Documents, Pictures, Music, Downloads, while the data that my go into those folders is placed on the other drives - Gaming, Music, Photo, Misc. Data.

    My two cents.

    GPU crashes when starting any Game, like fortnite

    Why does Fortnite, COD Warzone, and Apex Legends keep crashing?

    I did everything on the list for Fortnite but Fortnite is the game that crashes the least so I can't tell if it worked or not. Apex Legends and COD Warzone crashes the most.
