Windows 10: Crashing and Hang at Bios Screen

I have constant issues with the PC 'not responding' which forces me to use the hard reset power button.

However, when I do this, it hangs at the BIOS for 15 minutes until I hear a click (similar to when hard drive wakes up) and then boots normally. The BIOS screen does not have the F number options like normal - just see the Asrocklogo (mobo is Asrock B350 pro).

Does anyone know how I can avoid this 15 minute delay? During that time the hard drive light blinks lazily (I have multiple hard drives).

I get this even when I do a clean install of Windows so is this likely to be hardware faults? RAM is clean so maybe the hard drive?

Thanks

:)

 

HD 2600XT Hangs and Crashes

I can probably play cod4 or any other game really for about 45-60 minutes before my system hangs and my card crashes and my screen goes blank, i know its only my card because my system doesnt restart, my card fan stops running on full from its riva override, and soon thereafter my screen comes back on in 800x600 and i cant access the card's drivers to change the res or anything, so when it hangs and crashes i just resort to manually restarting.

one thing i think i could try is to bite the bit and install the latest drivers, i've been holding off on that.

but if there's anything else anyone can think of, or if someone has had the same problem as me. go for it and give me some suggestions.

in before buy the 4870. (already on my wish list)

 

bios

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

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?
