Windows 10: Gradual Windows 10 crash

Hi, I’m writing to report a crashing issue that I’ve been having with my machine for about 4 months.---My machine: running Windows 10 64 bit on Ryzen 5 3600XI first encountered the issue after about 8 months of using this PC without ever changing any components.---The issueThe computer will slowly start freezing at random times.

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?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
