  1. Why does my PC always crash or freeze all the time?


    Almost 4 days ago my pc started to act weirdly, I try to open a game and the pc crashed. Then, I didn't turn off automatic restart so I didn't really acknowledged what caused it. After pain full hours of restarting and trying to get to an event displayer or troubleshooter it kept crashing or freezing before I could actually examine what happened. So each time I boot up my pc it would often freeze, flash black screen or crash.

    By the time I looked at the error code I had 3 types of error codes:

    -Scheduler Internal Error most common crash I had

    -Driver power state failure only once after trying to open start menu

    -dpc watchdog violation only once after accidently booting my pc with pin code option, had the windows bluescreen recommendation walkthrough, crashed almost instantly into walkthrough


    I tried many things to fix this but I can't get to my pc's event viewers or trouble shooters/minidump files without the use of safe mode. Can someone help me as I don't really wanna get a new pc.

    My pc: Y70 touch, lenovo

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    Why does my PC always crash or freeze all the time?

    Constant PC crashing/freezing

    Hello!

    Brief description of problem: Over the past few months my PC has been randomly crashing/freezing. It doesn't seem to matter how large of a load it is trying to take on; whether i'm only writing a paper while listening to music, or i'm playing Counter Strike on one monitor and have multiple processes open on the other. The up time ranges anywhere between 1 minute to 12 hours.

    PC Specs:
    CPU - AMD FX-6300
    RAM - 16gb HyperX ddr3-1886
    Video Card - Radeon R7 370
    MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
    HHD - 1 TB
    Power Supply - 500w

    Continued Description of Problem: I recently ran a memtest on my ram and found out that one of the sticks were bad(It has been replaced with the ram currently listed above) this resolved about half of the issues I was facing. Before the ram was replaced I was getting a multitude of blue screens alongside the random freezing. The next and most recent step I've taken to restore my PC was replacing the hard drive. It doesn't seem to have fixed anything; one change I noticed after installing windows onto the new hard drive is that the time/timestamp on any browser, program or desktop doesn't display correctly. It has been replaced with some odd symbols- ex; Screenshot - 16eb15deb6d9e5e2fcaae2618a12b0ce - Gyazo , Screenshot - 63eff3026946796a175cdb11e13473b4 - Gyazo . With all this in mind I am assuming that we can exclude the RAM and HHD from potential problems.

    Additional Details on the Crashing/Freezing: As stated before it doesn't matter how much strain is on the PC, but crashing does seem more prevalent when playing games. When It does freeze/crash and there is audio playing the video will freeze but the audio will just mimic the last frequency it received. Sometimes it freezes and will go back to normal(This is a pretty rare occurrence).

    Thank you in advance for any advice/help; If you would like any additional information on specs/freeze details.
