    Fortnite freezes whole PC have to hold the power button


    Hello, I've asked about this on fortnite support but they just gave me generic copy paste troubleshooting script and then sent me here to ask.So, in the last few weeks maybe 2 months, when I would be in Fortnite it would randomly stutter or freeze for a second, but that isn't anything surprising about that game. But in the recent few weeks, the game would just freeze for either 10 seconds and continue normally OR it would stay frozen and my whole PC would be frozen as well. I could hear audio from discord or audio from browser but I couldnt alt tab, couldnt ctrl alt del OR anything else, occa

    PC doesn't power down after holding power button for 4 seconds

    The power button on a PC is temporary push switch. It makes contact as long as you hold the button down. Quick press and release triggers a smart relay on the MB to turn on or off, depending on default or OS state, such as cold on, sleep on, turn off, sleep off, etc. Holding the button down for a long time is a default hardware power kill switch. If it's not working, suspect the MB. Reset the BIOS is a good suggestion, but prolly won't work.

    My pc freezes and crashes while playing fortnite

    As the tilte suggests i have been experiencing my pc freezing and crashing while i play fortnite (havent tested any other games). To begin with ive been experiencing fortnite crashing mid game for the past week. I updated drivers windows 10 and unistalled fortnite and installed it again. After the windows update i think that the problem expanded to my pc freezing and crashing. To save you some time i have Autoruns from a previous crashing issue

    Holding the power button is not the proper way to power down. It's a hard power off on some but not all PCs (just like pulling the power cord)
    Pushing it one time should power it down. Just as the start/shut down does from the desktop (does it power off from the desktop?)

    List the complete specs. If its the hard drive you can check the smart data
    Sometime a PC will hang on shutdown from programs that lock up
