  1. Computer crashes when I play games not sure why.


    Hello recently I haven't been able to play certain games without the computer black screening and restarting. It always happens on the exact same spot in a game 5 secs into the game past the loading screen. I used a app called WhoCrashed and it showed me the crash dump from 2020. If anyone can help me find this problem, I already tried virus cleaning, and updating my gpu driver, cleaning my pc. I have a GTX 980ti that I recently got back from EVGA, so it is newly refurbished. Thank you for any help with locating and fixing this problem.

    Computer crashes when I play games not sure why.

    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?
