Kernel Power 41 crash + Fortnite crashes every 10 minutes

Since yesterday I've had multiple Kernel 41 crashes on Windows 10, I have no idea what's causing it.

I've already did a memory test in Windows, it said everything works fine.

Furmark doesn't give me any errors either.

Now since today Fortnite crashes every 5-10 minutes, I can't even finish a game. When it crashes, I can't do anything and have to restart my PC.

Anyone know any solutions?

Did you recently update your GPU drivers? 

 

I would validate the game files, clean install some known stable GPU drivers, scan for rootkits with malwarebytes(its an option under protection settings).

 

If that doesnt work you can run DISM by typing "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" in an administrator(right click, run as admin) command prompt.

 

Also, in an administrator command prompt after running DISM, try "sfc /scannow". Note: you have to put all the spaces as i typed them.

I upgraded my GPU drivers just after I got the first Kernel 41 crash, I'm now on the latest beta drivers.

Malwarebytes didn't find anything, even with the rootkits enabled.

I also executed both commands in cmd, nothing out of the ordinary.

I will report back if these steps change anything.

Can you test another Power Supply with the PC?
Can you test the Graphics Card in another PC?

I just tried the steps from @Amazonsucks and haven't had a crash since.
