Windows 10: PC hard crashes during all games, several errors in logs

Hi, the new Diablo season began on 1/23. Everything had been working fine. On approximately the second day, the 24th, the game began hard crashing my system. As in I had to physically hold the power button down to restart. I blamed this on Blizzard's incompetence, but I realized recently no other game works either. I just got the machine in November and up until about the 24th, it rocked. I've played dozens of games, no problem.In looking at the windows logs, around that date I started several errors. One Gameinput error I managed to fix I think but the others are still there, and have been

:)

 

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?

 

Programs/games frequently hang and crash.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the Event Viewer logs can provide useful insights into what might be causing your application to crash. However, interpreting the logs can sometimes be complex as it may involve understanding system or application-level details.

Here are the steps to view detailed information about the crash in Event Viewer:

1. Press the Windows key + X and select Event Viewer.
   
2. On the left pane, expand 'Windows Logs' and click on 'Application'.
   
3. Look for the error logs related to your game crash. They should be marked as 'Error' under the 'Level' column.
   
4. Once you find the error log, click on it to view the details.
   

The details will generally include the name of the faulty application (in your case, the game), the time of the crash, the path of the faulty module, and possibly an error code.

If you see any error codes, you can try searching for them online to get a better understanding of the problem.

 

Games have been crashing, my PC isn't stable.

if temps remain in check I would suggest diving into windows event logs to see what kind of system interrupts and errors you generate around these crashes. It will point us in the right direction
