Windows 10: Crashing when playing certain games.

Hi all,

Firstly, apologies if this is posted in the wrong section, as I'm not entirely sure what sort of crash I'm having.

This PC was my first custom build, first assembled in March 2020. I've noticed since then that I'll frequently crash while playing games - with Modern Warfare, CS:GO and World of Warcraft being the biggest culprits. I've had a look through the usual diagnostic tools suggested but can't find anything obvious and was hoping I might be able to find some answers here.

My PC crashed twice in a short time last night, both while in a game of CS:GO. I believe the crashes occured around 01:51 and 02:54. I first used the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool which came back clear. Then, I checked the Reliability Monitor which shows the crash but does not give any useful information (see attachment). I've now used the Ten Forums V2 tool to collect a report, which I have attached here. Until now, my PC was set to automatically restart, so I'm unsure if the tool has collected any useful information relating to the crash.

I'm using Windows 10 Home Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.508). Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide, and thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

:)

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?
