I ran it and nothing. I think it's because I'm not getting BSOD. Sometimes the screen goes black, sometimes it just freezes up, and even when I alt tab out, most other items don't respond, I can't close out Fortnite (or anything else for that matter), the restart option in Start doesn't work, and basically can't do anything other than move the mouse around the screen. I did check to make sure I have the memory dump set up, and I do. It was set to "auto", I just changed it to "complete" just for the future in case anything else comes upI usually start with memory test. Windows has builtin memory diagnostic, use that first.

Anyway, with this hurricane coming, homework due, and the fact I was with my kids all Sunday, I'm backed up on stuff, so I'm going to have to try working on these things more later this week or next weekend. I do appreciate the help from you and everyone else, and I'll post an update as soon as I'm able to pop the PC open, look at everything internally, and see if I can find anything else going on here. I greatly appreciate the help and suggestions, thank you.
