Windows 10: PC crashes while running any game, no matter the circumstances

So for the past month, whenever I've been playing a game for any amount of time, there is a chance that my computer will crash to the point that not even the BSOD can scan for errors or reset correctly. The worst thing is that not even the Event Viewer collects any info!More specifically:While I'm playing, I will notice that my keyboard bugs and does not respond to input, keeping pressed the previous buttons. After this, while the keyboard might come back and fully respond, if anything more demanding than walking happens, the computer fully freezes the picture but might keep sound playing 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?

 

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.

 

PC Can't Run Many Games

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that Games crash on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

1. Do you receive any error message/code when the game crash?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made prior to this issue?
   
3. What is the make and model of the computer?
   
4. Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer Which version of Windows operating system am I running?
   

Adding to the suggestions of Palcouk, please refer the steps mentioned below to update the drivers:

1. Press Windows logo key + X, and select Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display adapters.
   
3. Right click on the display driver and select Update Drivers.
   
4. Restart the computer if prompted.
