Windows 10: Why do my games crash a lot?

Starting on May 17th of this year, I have started to crash a lot more on games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, etc. I believe the main cause of this issue is when it's compiling shaders. Whenever that happens, my computer shuts down abruptly and shows me a blue error screen. I check the Event Viewer, and this is what it shows me.

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?

 

all games crash!

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.
