Windows 10: My Acer kept crashing after the Oct15th update,

My Acer Windows 10 2004 build, kept crashing after the Oct15th update, error message ':- .... gathering material....' appeared. It then tried to restart - hung again before pin entry screen . I was unable to type anything at all. Eventually got enough information, to remove that update this week, it PC loaded correctly on Tuesday 10th Nov. Tuesday evening got a "update and shutdown/ restart" option which I ignored and instead selected "sleep option. However during the night it "updated and restarted" no doubt the Nov update loaded too.

When I tried to restart again yesterday- same problem as originally! initially sad face - "collecting data " etc. then freeze at initial screen! This is ridiculous!

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?

 

GPU-Z 0.8.7 crash on launch

W1zzard is asking you to test so that he can suggest next steps and be able to troubleshoot the issue you have.
If another version works, it would be one set of steps.
If several other versions also fail/crash, then it would be another.
