Windows 10: 1909-GameInput Redis. Crashes caused by Windows?

Hi

I built my PC earlier this month with all new parts (R5 3600, AMD 5700XT, Corsair SF600 Platinum) and have been having issues from day one. The issue is that in games, occasionally and not repeatably games will hang/black screen, audio will continue and then PC will hard reboot without BSOD. I can have hours of stability or minutes and it does not appear to be connect with GPU load or heat as my temps are fine and it happens in games with <50% GPU load.

I have reached a point where I am almost convinced it's my GPU and AMD driver issues but in interest of completeness I've been trying to eliminate all other options. I have so far tested CPU- fine under load, PSU-survives OCCT power test over prolonged period, Memory- MemTest (one stick is faulty and I am RMAing the kit but for now I am running the one 8GB stick that passes).

In my testing I have noted that in Reliability Monitor, along with crash info, almost every reboot I am getting 'GameInput Redistributable 'successful application reconfiguration'. This happens for both hard reboots and elective reboots. Is this normal activity and could it be interfering with either my GPU or Radeon software causing reboots? Information on this software seems scarce online but seems to be part of either MS core gaming software or the Xbox PC app.

I have searched and others appear to be having this issue (possibly after the April cumulative update) but can see no fixes.

I have done the boilerplate SFC and DISM recommendations.

Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

Steps to confirm issue:

• Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
• Secondary drive not visible in device manager
• Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

Steps to replicate issue:

• Installing 1909 update

Steps to resolve issue:

• Uninstall 1909 update

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

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.
