Windows 10: Computer crashing while gaming mostly when watchin vidoes int he background

Hi first time posting here cause I'm jus tired and cant figure this out. I have been having this issue for what seems like 2 different computers with completely different parts. I usually game fine for hours while with friends but if i try to play solo game and watch you tube, my computer blue screens and recently just restarts my computer without even doi9ong that. after looking online i have found that after testing my ram the first slot seems to be defective on the mother boards since i cannot get it to boot from that slot and that would be consistent since for the past year i have been us

:)

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?
