Windows 10: Laptop Crash

I have been experiencing crashes with my computer and I would like someone to help me find the cause.

So basically the laptop, which is running windows 10, used to crash at random times and sometimes reboot automatically. I tried resintalling windows multiple times, I updated to the newest windows, I also downgraded at some point, I tested memory with memtest86 and I got all passes, I updated all drivers.

Now new symptoms that started to appear are the screen suddenly flickering and then freezing.

I also have an issue where my laptop would crash when the screen would dim into black. Basically it is normal for a laptop to dim its screen after about 10 minutes, but in my case, my laptop froze with a black screen while it stayed on. As in the led lights are on, and I can hear the fan. So I decided to disable the auto sleep and balck screen. So instead my laptop is now freezing from time to time.

For some reason my windows no longer writes anything in memory dump. I used to get bugcheck124, but now nothing is being written to the dump.


I tried previously disabling the graphics card, however my laptop crashed with the graphics card disabled, so now I enabled it. I have updated the graphic card to the newest version from intel, and I got crashes, so now I downgraded to the previous version, and crashes still occur.


Any idea what could be the problem?

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?

 

Random laptop crashes in games.

thats alright bro, If it does turn out to be an overheating issue, I'll let you take all the credit for suggesting it
