    Unable to install specific game due to OS errors


    So I'm trying to download Fortnite on my computer and every time the download reaches the 97MB mark the launcher suddenly crashes. Note that this happens ONLY when downloading this specific game. I've contacted Epic Games Support but they couldn't fix the issue and told me to head to Microsoft support since the "error" was OS based. I've tried clearing the Launcher's webcache, deleting it and re-installing it all over again, tried to install the game on another driver, and on another Wi-Fi connection but nothing worked. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix it I'll be very grateful! *I'll be

    :)

    Unable to install any OS

    Hi guys, I'm unable to install any OS. I tried ubuntu and got input/output error, tried installing window 7 error 0x80000010.

    Downloaded iso's of both again and again still same result. Got a new SSD still the same, tried a different usb still the same.

    I'm fed up, have been trying since the past 1 month still am unable to install.
    I've listed my specs in my profile.

    PS Have even tried/changed my ram.
    Where the pug is the problem ?

    I have been using live usb to work on computer for now but I need a permanent OS.
