    Pc crashes while gaming or just sitting idle, also any game i try opening crashes after...


    As stated anytime i try to play a game it will crash or my pc will crash, my pc will also sometimes crash while being idle, this happened after updated my driver yesterday so i tried rolling it back but that didn't seem to fix it so i just updated back to the current driver, it also oddly said that windows couldn't verify the integrety of the drivers even though i got them from nvidias website but that probably doesn't mean anything, I've tried running sfcscannow and it tells me it found corrupt files but couldn't repair them and gave me a cbs file which i can upload if needed, i also tried di

    Game crashing all the time / PC freezes sometimes

    Since about a month I have the problem that a game (Grand Theft Auto V) is crashing all the time. Sometimes the complete PC freezes too so that it displays the old image e.g. a few minutes ago (completely unresponsive, only restarting the PC helps). The time is not predictable, when it crashes. At one time it crashes after five minutes, another time it crashes after half an hour. But one thing is sure - it will crash.

    I have contacted the Rockstar Support and they say they can't help me anymore. Things I did asked by the Rockstar Support:

    • reinstalled the game and Social Club multiple times
    • deleted game files in AppData/Local/Rockstar Games/GTA V and Documents\Rockstar Games\Social Club
    • deleted C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\GTAVLauncher.exe and restored via Steam option Verify integrity of game files
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc /scannow multiple times
    • uninstalled another app, which should be responsible for network timeouts/blocking
    • switching to story mode/second character
    • submitted the export of msinfo32 including crash reports to the support
    • changed firewall settings

    Things I tried myself:

    • played in Safe Mode
    • changed graphics settings
    • removed OC
    • updated to latest Nvidia driver (436.15)
    • updated Windows 10
    • checked the event log, but there is no entry
    • executed memtest86 without problems
    • made a stress test with FurMark without problems

    I don't have expierenced similar problems in other games/apps.

    System configuration:

    • i5-6600K
    • 16 GB RAM
    • Nvidia GeForce GTX 780

    Temperature is always OK.

    Launcher.log from GTA V writes something like:

    How can I find the cause of this error?

    Pc crashes when opening games.

    Is your PC still crashing when you try to open games?

    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?
