  1. Why do I keep crashing when playing games?


    I am having an issue with my pc where games keep crashing and I am not sure why. Looking at the event viewer there is mainly an error called Event 10029 DistributedCOM, and I think this is causing my crashes. What does the error mean and how can I fix it?

    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?

    I uninstalled and re-installed the game. The freezing is still happening.
