Windows 10: Gaming PC crashes frequently

Hello, my gaming pc has been crashing semi-frequently since I got it. It was pre-built and the components SHOULD be compatible. My pc will crash at random, even when idle and not running any apps or games. It tends to happen sometimes when exiting browser tabs or moving files. It generally doesn't crash while running games sometimes it does, but this is rare, so I haven't replaced any parts or anything yet. I ran memtest86 with no errors on my GPU, and I also tried to run the chkdsk CMD command and got no errors. The Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool reported no errors on my CPU either. Unsure

:)

 

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?

 

PC Games crashing randomly, Chrome Crashing, and Frequent Blue Screens

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that games are crashing and Chrome is not working on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• Do you receive any error message when the games crash?
  
• What error message do you get when the PC crashes to Blue Screen?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

As you are receiving Aw snap error in Chrome, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the Google article

Fix "Aw, Snap!" page crashes and other page loading errors and see if that helps.



You may also want to boot the computer in to clean boot and see if the Games/PC crashes.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer.
However, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article How to perform a
clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



If you are receiving a Blue Screen error on the computer, I would suggest you to share the dump files so that we can analyze them and get to the root cause of the issue. To share the files Navigate to
C:\Windows\Minidump, upload the files to OneDrive and share the OneDrive link.



We await your response.

Programs/games frequently hang and crash.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the Event Viewer logs can provide useful insights into what might be causing your application to crash. However, interpreting the logs can sometimes be complex as it may involve understanding system or application-level details.

Here are the steps to view detailed information about the crash in Event Viewer:

1. Press the Windows key + X and select Event Viewer.
   
2. On the left pane, expand 'Windows Logs' and click on 'Application'.
   
3. Look for the error logs related to your game crash. They should be marked as 'Error' under the 'Level' column.
   
4. Once you find the error log, click on it to view the details.
   

The details will generally include the name of the faulty application (in your case, the game), the time of the crash, the path of the faulty module, and possibly an error code.

If you see any error codes, you can try searching for them online to get a better understanding of the problem.
