Windows 10: How do I keep Windows from crashing unexpectedly?

I looked into this somewhat but haven't found anything that has fixed my issue. The event viewer says that it's a graphics card problem and all the answers online are to update your driver, but my driver is up-to-date. I have wiped my system a few times and that seems to fix it for a bit, until it gets stuck in a restart loop, and have to wipe it again. What can I do?Misc.I have a Dell Optiplex 7020 with an Nvidia GTX 1650 attached via an extension cable, could the extension cord be the problem? It keeps crashing when I play Stellaris for too long,

:)

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?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.
