Windows 10: Computer crashed & now can not launch into windows 10

I've just started doing photo editing on my PC this past couple of weeks, more heavily than usual and slowly each day the PC seemed to run a bit slower than usual for example when i click save as copy on a photo it d take almost as long as a minute to complete the process, then today in the middle of editing photos it just shut down. Im only mentioning the editing pictures in case its related....I got the PC into recovery mode and tried everything available (start up repair, troubleshoot, restore points, reformat, replacing CMOS battery, removing all USB drives plugged in) and everything has failed. I just keep getting the spinning wheel below windows icon on a blue screen forever... I'm not the most computer smart person out there, i know enough but I feel like I've hit the end of the rope on what I can try, any ideas? Thanks in advance

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?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
