Windows 10: My computer is crashing while gaming, and idling.

I’m having a problem with my computer where I can be doing anything, even idling, and my computer crashes. Windows 11 home, OS build 26 100.3194 is my OS. After crashing, my computer soft freezes and in rare cases, restarts automatically. Usually I have to unplug the HDMI and plug it in again even after the automatic restart because it still doesn’t show anything on the monitor, then restart it manually. My PC just turned 2 months old with the components also being brand new. My computer is not overheating and it’s not a RAM problem. This I am sure of. Load has no correlation with the crash

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?

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.
