Windows 10: System overheats after WUFDHost.exe crash

Hello,My system is repeatedly "Locking" due to excessive temperature when under heavy loads, and this often corresponds with a 'critical event' in the Reliability Monitor. The details each time are identical - I've pasted them below.Thanks for any feedback !IanDescription Faulting Application Path: C:\Windows\System32\WUDFHost.exe Problem signature Problem Event Name: BEX64 Application Name: WUDFHost.exe Application Version: 10.0.19041.1 Application Timestamp: e092f869 Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll Fault Module Version: 10.0.19041.1023 Fault Module Timestamp: 7977b9de Exception Offset: 0000000

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?

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.

 

Help! New system keeps crashing

It's runing through them now. It's a step forward, as the problem was the system crashing as soon as I pressed the key to boot from the disk, it crashed before I even got to install it. When it's done, I'll burn another copy, see if that works.
