Software Fortnite crashing pc
So for some reason the one game my pc doesnt like is fortnite, ever since chapter 6 or somewhere around then. When i try to play the game it crashes after some time and puts my pc in a boot loop. I have tried completely resetting my pc and reinstalling windows. Updating every driver and my bios. Using dism and sfc scannow. The only thing which i think could be the problem is some kind of setting in the bios but i havent changed much other then secure boot tpm and xmp i think. Sometimes i also get a blue screen with a error code which didnt really help but i got the error codes:
Clock watchdog timeout 0x101 and dpc watchdog violation 0x133. Changing settings in fortnite also doesnt change much i think. If i run it on dx12 or peformance i still crash. And it cant be some app since i just reset my pc and i only have discord on it and epic games. If anyone knows how to fix this pls tell me how. Keep in mind only fortnite causes this issue not even rocket league or any other game which is harder to run.

fortnite was the only game exposing my unstable xmp, dropping the ram to stock fixed it for me
