Windows 10: Sept. update crashed Windows 10

How can I fix a current issue?


Microsoft installed the most recent update, being unaware of any issues I placed the desktop in "Sleep" mode. When going back to use the PC, there was a dark screen with the cursor just blinking in the upper left corner... Rebooted, same result, so it appears that it is somehow locked in the tail end of the bios launch. I am not too PC literate now days, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

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?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
