Windows 10: Windows 10 crashing

A used computer with windows 10 was gifted to me and was working without problems for about 6 months. At some point the certain applications would crash frequently and the computer itself would also blue screen. I attempted to reset the computer completely but not it crashes more frequently with all times of errors including:

• ATTEMPTED TO WITE TO READONLY MEMORY
• SYSYEM SERVIVE EXCEPTIONwhat failed: dxmms2.sys
• SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION
• KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED
• DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUALWhat failed: ndis.sys
• DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
• KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE
• PFN LIST CORRUPT
• SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLEDwhat failed: dxmms2.sys
• PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA

There may be more but those are the ones I was able to jot down.

The computer itself uses a 1 TB hard drive which I think may be causing the issues but realistically I have no clue, it crashed when I attempted a disk check command. Thought it could also be a driver but they all seem to be up to date so again I have no clue.


Any help or guidance is greatly 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?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
