Windows 10: Problems with windows and USB and crashing.

Heya,

I got a problem with my rig, even after a full windows 10 reinstall I have this problem that after a few days to a week the system stops recognizing usb devices and when I check in the device manager, the application hangs on the "detect hardware changes".

Rebooting fixes it until next occurance, but I have to hold the power button because shutdown doesn't work either when it's in this state.

The PC is about a year old, a Acer nitro desktop.

I am stumped on what it could be as I already did a whole reinstall.

Anyone got a idea ?
Thanks :

:)

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?

 

Installing windows off of a USB stick

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1. diskpart
1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

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.
