Windows 10: System app crashes Windows 10

Hello,

I'm asking for a solution to the crashes and computer freezing issue with Windows 10.

It started a few weeks ago, I noticed when trying to wake my laptop from sleep, it was frozen. Had to power down. When I tried to adjust the power settings in systems, the laptop crashed and froze. I read the control panel freezes topics from a few years ago. It mainly discussed the IDT audio update. I've searched for and could not find such a file in system 32.

I've tried several other solutions mentioned, as well, i.e. system restore/health scan from cmd prompt.

Every time I try to access the control panel the system freezes.

Please be aware, I am not knowledgeable in windows repair or computer management so, please be specific in layman's terms. Thank you.

:)

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
