So I just bought some new case fans for my computer. I got some Corsair white led 120mm fans. As soon as I put them in and started the computer it booted differently as it always had. And after 10 minutes the computer blue screen but I don’t remember the error code. After a few hours of gaming my computer didn’t blue screen but fortnite would constantly crash for no reason. I kept unplugging fans until I only had 1 of the 3 front fans plugged in. But it still crashes after random periods of time. I just uninstalled some rgb software but I haven’t been able to play a game until it crashes. I’ll try and play some other games for long periods of time and see what happens. Please let me know if you have any ideas what the problem could be.

I've heard/seen some posts going around about certain RGB software that is crashing systems, I think specifically Viper, I guess it comes installed with a lot of other OEM's RGB software, might be worth checking into. Also could look into getting a dedicated fan controller if the problem persists and is only related to the increase in fans, could be a power issue with the motherboard overloading depending on how many fans you have plugged in, although I don't think that is a very common issue.
