Windows 10: pc crashes to no signal screen when playing games

so, my pc would crash without any warning just goes into a black no signal screen when playing games, it would make a weird crashing noise than an error sound goes off that I can't see.My CPU fan would still spin for a few seconds right after crashing than it would stop completely the pc would still be on, only way to fix the crash would be restarting it just to for it happen again. I've tested my monitor, and cable cords and still happens.

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?

 

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.
