    Frequent BSODs When Launching Fortnite – KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE / CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT


    Hello,

    I'm experiencing frequent BSODs when launching Fortnite, specifically with the error codes KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE or CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. This issue occurs exclusively with Fortnite—no other games on my system trigger these crashes.

    System Specs:

    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
    • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super
    • RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (3200 MHz)
    Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

    • Updated Windows to the latest version
    • Updated GPU drivers
    • Updated CPU drivers
    • Updated BIOS to the latest version
    • Scanned for viruses/malware
    • Disabled XMP profile
    • Disabled third-party overlays (NVIDIA Overlay, RivaTuner)
    • Reinstalled and verified Fortnite files
    • Ran sfc /scannow
    • Used DISM tool to check and repair system integrity
    Despite all these steps, the issue persists. I would appreciate any guidance on what might be causing these BSODs and potential solutions.

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    xbox game pass for pc causing BSOD

    Same issue here, it started when using Norton to scan Xbox Game Pass folders would cause a BSOD, now just launching some Game Pass games will cause BSODs.

    Update on BSOD issue

    Hello,

    With regards to BSOD with Xbox App on PC. A fixed has been pushed since last Friday and you should check for an update to the Gaming services via the Windows store. Your gaming services should be Gaming Services version 3.63.16003. To verify this

    • Open the Xbox app
    • Click on your Profile and then click settings
    • Then click on About and under Versions you should see Gaming Services version 3.63.16003
    This update fixes all the issues except the Avira configuration. There is still a known compatibility problem with Avira anti-virus that may cause crashing. We do not have an ETA, but an update should be released soon to address this specific issue.

    Thank you,

    Hitman III BSOD When Launching

    Thanks for the reply. I have confirmed I can launch without issue and have passed the word along to the IOI customer service representative that has been helping me.

    Turns out the issue was affecting all new installs I learned before this fix.
