The past couple of months I have gotten back into daily gaming, and a few times while gaming I have had my PC freeze on me at random times. It seems to only occur when playing a game like Fortnite and League, and trying to watch a twitch stream at the same time on a second monitor. This pc is my own build that I did with my dad, however we did build it about 4-5 years ago, but it runs just about everything I play pretty well. I’m just not 100% sure what it might be. Anything will help thanks!

Use HWinfo and measure the temps. Report them back here.

Run memtest86 on each of those RAM sticks multiple times. Clean out the PC for dust, reapply the thermal past on the CPU.

Try your RAM sticks in different slots.

Do you think it could be from the fact that my internal fan doesn’t work for some reason?

You didn't give specs or say what fan isn't spinning or anything, but if your CPU fan wasn't working I would assume that you wouldn't make it into games at all. If your GPU fan just doesn't work it probably is that but you need to make sure it actually doesn't work. GPU fans aren't like A CPU fan they only spin when the GPU gets hot so don't just assume they don't work just because the fans don't spin under no load. Your GPU fan really should work but if for some reason it doesn't you can try MSI afterburner.
