  1. Computer crashed and literally EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM closed afterwards.


    I never once had this happen, my computer crashing and every program suddenly closing. There was no blue screen of death, no restart, it happened WITHIN my current Windows session, and everything just closed after freezing. I lost ALL of my stuff I was currently working on. On Windows 11 obviously.

  2. Computer not closing, crashing every other minute

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience as the system crashes/ does not closes. We will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know the following to assist you better with this issue:

    • When exactly does the system crashes?
    • Were you able to see any error code/ error message when the system crashes?
    • Does the system crashes while accessing any specific application/ program?
    • From when are you facing this issue?

    Try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: End the Windows Explorer process and create the new one.

    • Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, under Process
      tab, search for Windows Explorer.
    • Right click on it and click on End task.
    • Click on File in the Task Manager
      at top left corner of the window and select Run new task.
    • Type explorer.exe and click on Ok.

    Method 2: Boot the device in Safe mode with Networking and perform Clean boot if the issue persists.

    Step 1: I suggest you to boot the computer in Safe mode with Networking, access File Explorer and check if the issue persists.

    This will let us know if there are any Windows System files causing this issue as Safe mode will boot with minimal set of drivers and not all services will be enabled.

    Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10


    If the issue persists in Safe mode,

    Step 2: I suggest you to perform Clean boot
    to avoid any third party software conflict.

    Disclaimer: Putting your system in
    Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

    Follow the below steps to place the computer in normal mode.

    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run
      command.
    • Type msconfig and press Enter.
    • In the System Configuration window, click on
      General tab.
    • Select Start-up selection as Normal startup, click on
      Apply and Ok.
    • Follow onscreen instructions.

    Hope it helps. Kindly get back to us with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

    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?

  4. Computer crashed and literally EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM closed afterwards.

    Programs Crash When Trying to Access File Explorer

    • Have you made any changes to your device before the issue occurred?
      • Nothing abnormal
    • Are you getting any error messages when the app crashes? If yes, please send us a screenshot.
      • For Chrome i'm not getting anything, it just closes out. On Photoshop and the Nvidia Control Panel I get a message that the program has stopped working.
    • What other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
      • I've only tried running
        sfc/scannow
