Windows 10: Computer freezes and sound stutters then crashes

Hey, for a while I have had problems with my computer and nothing seems to fix it, whenever I turn on my computer for the day and use it for a few minutes almost every time it just freezes and crashes, I changed my os from an HDD to SSD a while ago and that fixed it for a bit then it started happening again, I changed my ram and that also fixed it for a bit and then it continued, I ran memtest and all my ram was fine but then it happened again, I just did a fresh install of windows and that did not seem to fix it since it crashed 3 times today. I have tried nearly every test and I think it mig

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?

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.

 

computer freezes and sound stutters

When I am playing any game on my PC, eventually it will freeze and the sound will stutter. Some small fraction of the time I can recover by mashing a bunch of keys like escape or tab. Usually, though, I have to do a hard reset. This has only been happening the last couple months since I installed FFXIV. Prior to that it was working fine with all the games I wanted to play (SWTOR, BF4, and others). Nothing gets logged in event viewer about the issue, the MSI control center doesn't do any logging, and SpeedFan basically just doesn't work on my machine. I looked at CPU-Z but it didn't seem like it would help me very much. Windows Memtest utility didn't find anything wrong with my memory. Other recent changes: Windows 10 install.

Prime95 Blend test: after about 20 minutes CPU temp is 66-67C, which seems high.

FurMark: 20 Minutes burn-in test (8x antialiasing, 1080p, fullscreen) got up to 73C max, stayed around 70-72C, usually 98% TDP, 10FPS. Did not do extreme burn-in

Occasionally it also sounds like a fan in my computer starts and stops without any particular reason. There will be a clicking sound, then some whirring as it powers down. Looking into the box, I can't really see any fans slowing down or stopping - looks like CPU, GPU and case fans all remain at constant speeds. It's harder to see the fan in the PSU but the sound seems like it's coming from there.
