BSoD while playing Fortnite

Today is 11/27/25 and the BSOD was on 11/19/25.

All unexpected shutdowns and restarts were without BSOD except for one which was caused by a misbehaving anti cheat driver.

If all the others were not spontaneous then they were manual power offs.

There were approximately 30 unexpected shutdowns and restarts manual power offs since August 2025.

There was 1 BSOD on 11/19/25.


For the hangs and freezes consider swap testing the PSU.

The PSU is fine, since due to personal reasons I gave my power supply to someone else and this power supply is exactly the same model but new (it's one or two months old) It's a Corsair RMx SHIFT RM1200x 80+ Gold 1200W

Furthermore, there are many false positives in my event viewer regarding this; it is full of events such as "hardware failure, watchdogs LiveKernelEvent, Windows stopped working" when this has not actually been the case. I might have 3 events during a day where the PC has been on all day without any problems, which is confusing. I haven't experienced any unexpected shutdowns without BSODs.

Perhaps that freeze was also due to the anti-cheat system? It happened before with the same game (Fortnite).

Thanks.
