Hey all,I've been experiencing games of all kinds ranging from Red Dead Redemption, Counter Strike, Siege etc. Just crashing completely out of the blue. It could happen 30 minutes into a game or within 15. I have absolutely no idea what the issue is and have even gone as to reinstalling windows and wiping my hard driveOne thing that I have noticed is that my "IntelR Management Engine Interface #1" driver is outdated.

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?

Applications Crashing With Error 0xc0000005

Hi, theDeadlyTeeth. I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem, and I hope I can assist you to find a satisfactory solution.

It's commendable that you've already gone through an extensive list of troubleshooting steps. However, there are a few additional suggestions you can consider:

Update other drivers: Apart from graphics drivers, ensure that other drivers, such as chipset, network, and audio drivers, are also up to date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can sometimes cause application crashes.

Check for conflicting software: Review the list of recently installed software or updates. Some applications or updates might conflict with the functioning of other programs, leading to crashes. Try uninstalling any recently added software and see if that resolves the issue.

Disable unnecessary startup programs: Certain applications running in the background at startup could potentially interfere with other software. Try disabling unnecessary startup programs using the Task Manager or a dedicated startup management tool.

Perform a malware scan: Malware or viruses can cause system instability and application crashes. Run a thorough scan using a reliable antivirus or anti-malware program to check for any malicious software.

Test in Safe Mode: Boot your computer into Safe Mode and check if the applications still crash. Safe Mode starts Windows with minimal drivers and services, which can help identify if any third-party software or drivers are causing the problem.

Contact application support: Reach out to the support teams of the affected applications. They might be aware of specific issues or conflicts that could be causing the crashes and could provide guidance or potential solutions.
