Windows 10: Recurring system crash

I'm experiencing seemingly random system crashes for several weeks now. I made 1 hardware change recently after my GPU died, but otherwise haven't made any physical changes for going on 2 years now. My original GPU died when a watercooling radiator suspended over the card failed while the system was running. I spent lots of time taking everything apart, cleaning it all, and testing everything. Everything seemed to be working fine, and I was able to slot in a new GPU and everything ran fine. Then I started having random crashes multiple times a day. I don't get a BSOD or notice the system

:)

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?

 

Windows 10 Recurring Crashes


Hi Tom,

Welcome to the 10forums.

As this is not a BSOD problem, this is not the right part of the forum.
There are a few suggestions I would give you, NO garantee it will help!

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window



Warning Programs that claim to update your drivers install either the wrong or corrupted drivers.
If you have installed any driver with AVG Driver Updater, please remove them as it may cause trouble.
