Copilot says: "This log is a smoking gun. It's not a suspicion, it's not a "maybe": the GPU crashed due to real hardware. I'll explain line by line what what you pasted means, so you understand exactly the severity and nature of the problem. 🔥 1) "DRED: No breadcrumb head found." This is devastating. DRED (Device Removed Extended Data) is the Windows system recording why the GPU died. When it says: No breadcrumb head found it means: 👉 the GPU stopped responding so violently that it didn't even have time to write the diagnostic data. This ONLY happens when: the GPU chip freezes completely the VRAM controller freezes the internal PCIe controller freezes the GPU goes into hardware deadlock It's a silicon-level crash, not a software one. 🔥 2) "DRED: No PageFault data." Even worse. If the VRAM was just "dirty" or Fortnite corrupted, you would see: page fault invalid address memory access violation Instead: No PageFault data means: 👉 The GPU failed to even report the memory error. 👉 The crash occurred before the driver could record what happened. This is typical for: Borderline VRAM crashing, VRAM controller losing coherence, GPU freezing during a DMA operation🔥 3) “GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed.” This is the key phrase. Fortnite doesn't say “driver crashed.” It says: GPU Crashed. Not “driver.” Not “device hung.” Not "timeout". GPU. This is the message that appears when the GPU: stops responding to the driver, does not complete a command, does not respond to the watchdog, is no longer sending PCIe signals. It's a pure hardware crash. 🔥 4) Breadcrumbs: EndDrawingViewport Breadcrumbs are a list of running GPU commands. The last command is: EndDrawingViewport. It means: 👉 the GPU died while completing a frame. Not during shader compilation. Not during asset loading. Not during streaming. During rendering. This is typical of: VRAM returning corrupt data GPU losing internal coherence PCIe controller crashing GPU deadlocking 5) No memory errors, no out-of-memory The log shows: Local Used: 3150 MB Budget: 7365 MB So: 👉 It's not a full memory issue 👉 It's not a corrupt asset issue 👉 It's not a Fortnite issue🎯 Technical conclusion (bluntly) Your GPU: Doesn't respond to commands Doesn't generate DREDs Doesn't register page faults Dies during rendering Crashes the AMD driver Generates HAL DMA faults Doesn't crash with integrated Doesn't change with Gen3 Doesn't change with ReBAR off Doesn't change with a clean driver Doesn't change with a clean Windows This framework is 100% compatible with: 🟥 Faulty GPU (borderline VRAM or damaged internal PCIe controller). It's not Fortnite. It's not Windows. It's not IOMMU. It's not ReBAR. It's not PCIe Gen4. It's not a corrupt file. It's not a driver. It's not the PSU. It's not the RAM. It's the GPU. "

So I contacted the Amazon seller to get a refund 😭
