Windows 10: Windows Crashing since Update

I bought a new PC about a month and a half ago and had no issues until this new update. My wife reported the OS crashing and the fans making a great deal of noise on October 16, so she shut it off an waited for me to get home. I couldn’t get the computer to move past a black screen for several restarts, eventually getting a blue Windows screen that said it was uninstalling the updates, which then got me back to a working version of Windows.

However, the issue has persisted. After 5-10 minutes the OS crashes and the fan speed ramps up dramatically. This morning I tried a fresh install, but the OS crashed once during the install. After finally getting back to the desktop, I tried to do all of the Windows updates and at 18% of the cumulative update the OS crashed, fans made noise, etc.

When I got it booted back up, the update had been installed. Again, after 5 minutes it crashed. This issue repeated as I tried to look at event logs, making it incredibly difficult to figure out what was even happening prior to the system resetting.

Hoping to find some answers, this is a brand new gaming PC I had built. I haven’t owned a PC in 10 years so I’m pretty new to this level of troubleshooting. I’ve posted the component list I was sent (went through NZXT BLD). At work now but will attempt to clarify where I can.

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?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

 

GPU-Z 0.8.7 crash on launch

W1zzard is asking you to test so that he can suggest next steps and be able to troubleshoot the issue you have.
If another version works, it would be one set of steps.
If several other versions also fail/crash, then it would be another.
