    Good people of Microsoft forums, I desperately need your help. My PC has been crashing for years, but it is finally getting to the point where it is becoming unusable to game with. I suspect based on the googling that I have done so far that my GPU may be dying. But I would really love someone to tell me that this is just a quick and easy software fix.Below is my file. I ran the Minidump file,https://1drv.ms/u/c/4a878f10a6fc4751/EbMaMB3l62pKgGnM88sEeLkBWd-Zr4iGUv5TDBkYsUE4UA?e=LKFdybThrough WindDBG and it came back with anUNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP 7f But I honestly don't know exactly

    :)

    PC reboots (no BSOD) on CPU stress

    Hi fellow TPU members,

    not too long ago, the box my gf's PC was transported in gave way on the stairs. Yes, you got it right, that sent a PC tumbling down a flight of steps alright.

    Stuff broke. Also, stuff remained intact somehow.

    I bought her a new case, new CPU cooler and we removed the floppy drive, so far so good. But the PC started crashing for no apparent reason, without a BSOD.

    I tested:
    • Memtest86+, left overnight, 0 errors
    • Scanned the HDD for errors, nothing there
    • Left FurMark burning up the GFX card and drawing some power, no problems there
    • Ran Ubuntu from a Live CD doing nothing special, didn't crash
    • Ran OCCT, Linpack, Prime95, all 3 caused reboots within minutes
    • Oh, and I disabled "Restart on error" so I'm sure it's not a BSOD.
    Now, I can still try and test something CPU intensive on Ubuntu, but my guess is the CPU didn't survive.
    Before I do anything drastic like whippin' out the magic wallet and get her a new AMD quad, is there anything I didn't see?
    I'm guessing the motherboard could be borkered as well, but can I check that other than replacing the CPU with a working one?
    Any suggestions on which proggies I can use from an Ubuntu Live CD to stress the CPU?

    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 unusable due to BSOD crashes

    Yesterday my PC suddenly had a BSOD crash, I didn't note down all of the message but it was a KERNEL error. This first BSOD happened while I was playing a game on Steam. I have just read that the Windows May 2019 update is being released anyway despite them
    knowing it has BSOD issues, but I also read that this has been pushed back until May, and that it relates specifically to games and the anti-cheat software some have, so I assume this would come up with more specific BSOD error message, perhaps the timing
    here and the fact I was playing a game at the time is mere coincidence.

    This is a fairly similar issue to what I had on previous installations of Windows after building a PC at the beginning of this year. Details on his can be found here: Redirecting
    - for a bit of background. I did eventually manage to fix this by reinstalling windows without the internet connected and just completely disabling windows update in windows update settings and services. Unfortunately I never got to the bottom of what caused
    the issues, I reset the RAM back to auto as I had altered the frequency before, so I still have no idea really if it was keeping it on auto that kept it stable or if it was just updating my BIOS (which may have been up-to-date anyway) and gradually staggering
    the windows updates that solved the problem. Once I did eventually allow Windows Updates to run so that I could update drivers, Direct X etc, I just left it on, I am now wondering if this was a mistake or if it might actually be a faulty RAM issue after al.

    I think I have got this right in order of errors as they appeared - first the KERNEL error, then I got a SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED error, next must have been the first MEMORY MANAGEMENT ERROR, then I think it was the ATTEMPTED TO WRITE TO READONLY
    MEMORY error, then I got CRITICAL PROCESS DIED, at some point a second MEMORY MANAGEMENT ERROR the PFN LIST CORRUPT. This was during a continuous cycle of restarts and attempted repairs, after this I just kept getting the same two errors - MANAGEMENT ERROR
    and INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. Every time I try to start it now one of these two crashes it. I first tried system restore to a few days before, this did absolutely nothing, I left it on automatic repair, this also did nothing, and I also tried resetting windows
    and keeping the files, which seemed to also do nothing.

    I have files I hadn't got round to backing up since I finally got my PC working last time, so I could really do without doing yet another complete reinstall again. How likely is it that this is a hardware issue?
