Windows 10: User randomly changed after a crash

So I was playing Rainbow 6 siege and then my computer hard froze. I thought nothing much of it and held the power button down to restart my computer. When I got back to the windows sign in screen I saw it wasn't my user. It was a completely different user that I have no connection to, that user being a Dr. Andrew. I was very confused and just powered my system on and off via power supply. When back in the windows sign in screen it was my normal user and when i logged in I had my apps and icons as normal. I have no clue what happened and if I should be concerned. I try really hard no to get into sketchy websites and i couldn't find anything online that helped me figure out what happened. Everything looks fine on the surface but I'm going to be careful about password and credit card numbers from now on untill I can find a assuring response or answer. Please someone explain what happened and if I need to take farther steps into security.

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?

 

10 Crashing Randomly and During Updates and File Downloads

This is a re-post from here.

I have a Windows 10 PC that I run 24/7. I have Windows Updates disabled through the Group Policy Editor. I still perform updates manually every few days. Windows Defender updates work fine. Other Windows updates cause the PC to crash, no BSOD or anything, it just turns off. I've looked for 1074, 6006, and 6008 event log files to explain why and I haven't been able to find anything.

Other times the computer just randomly crashes and also sometimes when downloading files. The symptom is the same, I check on it and find it powered down or it just shuts off while I'm using it. It boots back up fine and I see no cause listed in the event logs.

I have been through the 3 tests suggested to me on the old thread. SMART looked good, memtest ran for 33 hours for 8 passes with no errors, and prime was run for 3 hours with no errors.

I think the next step was to run V2 Log collector, that data is attached.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
