Hey everyone! I've been running into some major issues with BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) crashes while playing Fortnite, and it's becoming really frustrating. I've already tried quite a bit of troubleshooting, including uninstalling and reinstalling Fortnite and its anti-cheat software, the launcher, and I even did a clean install of all my GPU drivers using DDU in safe mode. I've also made sure to complete any pending Windows updates. Despite all this, I'm still experiencing BSOD crashes after about 10 minutes in the game. Does anyone have any idea what else I could try to fix this issue? Thanks in advance!

Checking the event viewer is a good idea! It can give you more context on what's causing the crashes. If you can share the specific error codes you're seeing, that might help too. What kind of hardware are you running? Sometimes the root cause can be linked to certain components, especially if they're not playing nice together.
You definitely want to check those dump files as they'll really help pinpoint the issue. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, try looking for them in C:WindowsMinidump. If you find any, zip them up and upload them to a sharing site like MediaFire or Catbox. It'd be great to have more than one file to work with! Also, change your dump type to Small Memory Dump to avoid overwriting if you need more data in the future.
I checked both the event viewer and windbg. One crash showed: 0x0000000a and another was 0x000000d1. For hardware, I've got an MSI pro z690-p dd4, 64 GB RAM, a 3060 Ti, and a 12th Gen Intel i5-12600KF. Let me know if you need any more details!
