My game randomly freezes while in matches for no reason

[whole yarrow]

At random points my game will just freeze. it heappened in a game I just played right when a fight was about to hppen, then 2 games before that it froze while I was farming and I got stuck at level 3 into mid game, so I couldn't do anything and was useless. I don't have any clue why this might be happening, this post is just me saying it's happening more or less.

Do you have an Antivirus installed like MalwareBytes or similar?

I simply got ms defender now. Used to use ms defender, but that caused aome issues so I got rid of it and now I'm getting freezes even tho it was removed which it caused aome freezes in the past when I had it as to my knowledge.

freezes and hard hitches in game has been mostly attributed to loading GPU driver shaders and caches.
I mentioned MalwareBytes as that one was a clear example where MalwareBytes was intercepting file loads and slowing them down, causing hitches.

Here are some things to try:

• Update your GPU drivers to latest version
• Clear shader caches (https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_Fortnite/c-Fortnite_TechnicalSupport/fortnite-stutters-heavily-and-has-below-expected-performance-on-directx-12-a000088950)
• Open Disk Cleanup and clear DirectX caches

If you have any other software that might be intercepting file loads, be sure to add supervive or the steam folder to the "allow list"

Idk if this is related to the game at all and I kinda doubt it is but sometimes I get a stop code error "WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR" and my pc is just stuck on a blue screen and I have to restart it to getting off of it
