Windows 10: Online applications completely crash windows

Hello, for the last month I keep having this problem: while using applications that require online connectivity, mostly multiplayer games, it can happen that the display gets mostly black or red with some areas keeping the image that was there previously, audio disappears and the keyboard becomes unresponsive. This never happens with "normal" programs even under heavy load both of cpu, gpu and ram usage, WHen this happens i'm forced to restart the pc with the power button. This temporarily fixes the problem but if i try to re enter the program that "caused" the crash it usually stays fine for

:)

 

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?

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

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.
