My Specs Are:

CPU: G4560
GPU: Gtx 1060 3GB
Memory: 8GB DDR4 2133
MotherBoard: H110M-PRO-VD

So i played fortnite before on epic settings and had no crashes or any problems but after i took a break, i went back onto fornite and then i started to get crashes and have to lower the graphics to medium for it to not crash. There is no frame drops before the crash, it just stops and after 5 seconds it just closes. This problem has also happened on another game that i have downloaded called dauntless. PLZ HELP.
 
Maybe the PSU or something else.

Check the windows event log to see what error(s) you got. How to Check the Application Event Log for Errors: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997769(v=exchg.65).aspx

Most likely you should get "Kernel event ID 41 error", but you don't want to see "Stop 0x1A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT".

For the 1st error, may try use the DDU to uninstall the GPU driver in safe mode, then reinstall the GPU again. That will make sure it is not the software porblem.

If it is not the driver problem, then the GPU may have problem, you can try use the software, like MSI afterburn, to increase the voltage little bit, because it will help the GPU runs stable. Also the PSU may have problem to handle gtx1060 in the high setting, because the fortnite is GPU intensive, if you run the game in high setting, then the GPU will draw most power.

So check the event log first.

The problem related to the GPU driver, GPU, overheat, or PSU.

1) Try update the chipset driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/20775
2) Use DDU uninstall the GPU driver in safe mode, then reinstall the GPU driver https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/
3) Try use MSI afterburn to increase the voltage little bit. https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner also you can use it to monitor the temps too.
If you still have the same problem, either try other PSU or GPU.
