Windows 10: My computer is suddenly crashing to reboot when in games XPlane11 or P3Dv4

Hello everyone,

My computer is consistently crashing when I am in gaming mode. I have checked my game log and that has no problem. verified on AVSIM.

At the time of crash my frame rate is above 70fps CPU nor GPU is struggling

Piriform Speccy shows GPU temps at 65-70 degrees at time of crash.

Ryzen master is showing CPU at 55 to 60 degrees at time of crash

Neither CPU nor GPU is overclocked.

This happens most consistently within 5 mins of starting the game and almost instantly on going to full screen windowed mode.

All drivers have been updated and no queries/exclamation marks in the device manager

Out of the game scenerio there are no problems whatsoever.

Windows 10 64 bit is up to date


I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows and the only thing that changed is that suddenly I am being asked to activate Windows and I do not have the digital key any more. I inserted my original Win 10 product code but it is not being recognised either. I do not believe this is related to the problem but would like to sort this out too,

Any ideas

Tony.

:)

 

all games crash!

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.

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?
