Windows 10: Neither Windows 10 nor 11 work on new build. System crashes or freezes after taking updates.

I just finished. Uildinf anew pc. I initially installed windows 11 but the co.puter kept freezing even before I could install updates. It would be a screen freez on the desktop or even on the windows login screen, this would require a hard power cycle since even ctrl,alt, del wouldn't work. After about 20 reboots or so and reimaging about 5 times I decided to replace my motherboard and ram cards. Unfortunately the issue persisted. I eventually chose to install windows 10. Initially it worked but the screen resolution was very low because the gpu drivers had not been installed. wasn't happen

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?

 

geforce experience takes an age to load..

Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
