    Computer Crashes whenever I play a game.


    Hey, I'm having issues with my computer while playing games.


    Here is a dump from Whocrashed.


    crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\011221-6984-01.dmp
    This was probably caused by the following module: watchdog.sys watchdog+0x3AD0
    Bugcheck code: 0x119 0x2, 0xFFFFFFFFC000000D, 0xFFFF9B02E4822960, 0xFFFFA18F64F17830
    Error: VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR
    file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\watchdog.sys
    product: MicrosoftR WindowsR Operating System
    company: Microsoft Corporation
    description: Watchdog Driver
    Bug check description: This indicates that the video scheduler has detected a fatal violation.
    The crash took place in a Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

    It started crashing after an old hardrive I moved into the computer somehow took control during a crash and made itself the C: disk and the computer went back to windows 8.1 I had the disk in to move some old photos that I wanted to save to my new Hardrives. After the computer booted in windows 8.1 I turned off the computer and pulled the hardrive returning the PC to Windows 10.

    But now I crash whenever I try to play anything.

    I've tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to work.


    Things I've tried

    Updating drivers including video was unable to find/do anything with watchdog drivers

    disabling fast Boot and Hybrid sleep

    Error checking the C: disk

    Command prompt CHKDSK C: /F /R


    I think it might also be the power supply but I'm unsure.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    I understand that how frustrating it can be when the PC crashes while playing games. I certainly appreciate your efforts taken towards resolving the issue.

    Computer Crashes whenever I play a game.

    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?
