Windows 10: Games crashing shortly after opening.

Many of my games from steam crash after starting, I'm not sure what is causing this, as I have already made sure everything is updated. I also did a fresh install of windows, and that failed to fix it. Inside of my event viewer there seems to be a high number of DistributedCOM warnings, and errors with 10016 EventID. I'm not super tech savvy, so I don't know if that could potentially be the cause.I also conducted a Malwarebytes scan but haven't turned up anything that would be malicious. Could this be hardware related as well? Thanks 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?

ASPHALT 8 GAME crashes as soon as it is opened

Hi Deepak,

Please reply to the questions mentioned below in order to assist you in a better way.

• Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
• Is the issue specific to a particular game?

Since the game is crashing, the first thing I would suggest is to reinstall the game and then check if it helps. I would also request you to place the computer in clean boot and then check if it helps.

Putting your system inClean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform
a Clean Boot.

Note: After troubleshooting, refer to this section "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting".

Please revert if the game still crashes.

Thank you.
