Windows 10: Computer crashes almost everyday, especially when gaming.

I would use my computer all morning for online classes, and after that I would do some gaming. And after like 20 minutes my computer would crash. Before I never had this problem but recently it has been happening more and more often. I am not sure why it has been crashing so much, but I have a feeling that it might have something to do with me dual booting. Here's the log:Log Name: SystemSource: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-PowerDate: 10/27/2021 11:37:49 AMEvent ID: 41Task Category: 63Level: CriticalKeywords: 70368744177664,2User:

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?

 

all games crash!

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.
