Windows 10: Most programs freeze and crash instantly after opening them

The title says it all, almost all programs that I have installed will open, freeze instantly and then crash to desktop after a bit. This is also happening to a lot of window's own programs. However certain programs like Steam or GeForce experience will still work. I have already contacted windows support and I will most probably have to resort to a reset of my PC. The strange thing is this is already the second time it has happened, I have already had the need to do a reset because of exactly the same problem. So my question is what exactly might be causing this? Because I surely don't want to keep resetting my PC every other month. Is it a hardware problem? A software one? As someone else ever had a similar problem? Please help.

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?
