Windows 10: Unable to click on anything after crash

I was playing The Witcher 3, and right after hitting the "quit" button to close the game my entire system froze, and I could still hear the game music even though the process seemed to have stopped. I tried hitting every single shortcut I knew but the pc was completely unresponsive. I had to forcefully shut it down by holding down the power button. After booting again I was unable to use my mouse to interact with the os, everything seems to be working fine when using the keyboard to open stuff but the mouse clicks don't do anything.

Yes I have tried sfc /scannow Yes I have tried DSIM.exe /yadda /yadda Yes I unplugged the mouse and tried another one

Booting the system in Safe Mode resolves the issue, which gives me some hope, but how do I identify the process/service that Is causing it?

This happened to me years ago, and I had to completely reinstall windows to get it to work again, glad to see it still exists 4 years later.

I have noticed that right before the login screen comes up there is a black screen that hangs there for longer than usual, which is worrying to say the least.

I really do not want to reinstall windows and spend 3 months getting my working environment back to its original status.

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?

 

all games crash!

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.

 

GPU-Z 0.8.7 crash on launch

W1zzard is asking you to test so that he can suggest next steps and be able to troubleshoot the issue you have.
If another version works, it would be one set of steps.
If several other versions also fail/crash, then it would be another.
