[SOLVED] Most games crash after a few minutes (e.g. Fortnite / Warzone)

gamarus@lemmy.cat to Gaming@lemmy.ml – 3 points –

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 @pezmaker@sh.itjust.works, 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!

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?
