    Game crashing on one user profile and not others


    Hello. The video game Prey 2017, when played on my primary user profile, often crashes to desktop and gives DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG or DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET as errors. I tried creating a new user profile, and the game works without crashing when playing it on that user profile. This appears to indicate my primary user profile has corrupted data or conflicts in configuration/security settings. Is there a way to fix this? I would prefer not to swap to using an entirely new user profile. Thank you in advance.

    :)

    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?
