Windows 10: Random tasks "crashing"

Ive been having this weird problem recently where whenever i open certain apps, they crash after a couple seconds, and i get the blue circle showing that somethings happening in the background. All my games work fine, most apps work fine aswell. This happens whenever i open installer executables (was trying to download 7zip but it crashed before i could continue the install), and it also happens when opening malwarebytes. This even happened when trying to open control panel or the popup that comes when trying to revert to the latest windows version. Ive run sfc scans, disc scans, virus scans, and updated my windows to its latest version, but its still happening. Any ideas? I have 2 drives, 1 SSD and 1 NVMe.

Edit 1: tried to update my oculus app and it crashed that too

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?

 

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.
