  1. Computer crashing while gaming mostly when watchin videos in the background


    Computer is crashing randomly but especially during high GPU use Gaming I asked this question before and I'm still getting the same issues. There seems to be a logging error in the event viewer at the exact same time as the critical error saying my computer shutdown unexpectedly. Originally it would black screen and would stay active but now that i unplugged the second monitor it blue screens and restarts immediately All components in a custom water cooled loop 7700x Amd CPUrtx3080 32gb of Ramthe link bellow is the previous chat that is now locked https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/

    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?

    Video card driver crashing when playing games

    We suggest that you rollback your driver. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R to open run dialog box.
    • In the dialog box window, type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
    • Right click on your video card driver -> Properties ->
      Driver tab
      and select Rollback driver.
    If the issue persists, it could be better to contact the developer of the game.

    Regards.
