Windows 10: Windows 10 crashes when playing a game

When playing a game I randomly will get a full system reset. Bellow is the Event viewer for a fatal hardware error at about the same time. I have no idea what to do with this and this issue has been an annoyance. If anyone can parse this it would be much appreciated.

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.
