Windows 10: windows 10 keeps crashing.

recently i've gotten a dell inspiron 3847 i5 w/ windows 10 pro that was upgraded from windows 7 pro. the build on it is 17134.165.


this is the problem i'm having: any time i play a game or use any sort of app for an extended period of time, my computer crashes with that frowning face that looks at me like its sorry that i ever got this computer. every time it crashes, there's a different error message on what the problem is. it can be a random .sys file that doesn't work or the dreaded "thread exception not handled" message that i got when it crashed this morning along with a memory error message when it crashed the second time this morning.

i've read countless articles on how to fix these issues but they only seem to work for a short while before it starts crashing again. with all these crashes, i'm getting increasingly frustrated that i have to keep looking up fixes for these error messages.have been thinking about just biting the bullet and buying a copy of windows 7 since the previous owner never said anything about it crashing before this update.

i hope that i can end this nightmare that is the blue screen of death soon.

Windows 10 keeps crashing

Hi,

There are many possible reasons why the computer will keeps on crashing. One of which is missing or corrupted system files. For us to further isolate the issue, we suggest answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you accessing/doing when the computer crashes?
• Were you still able to login to the computer after it happens?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the error messages or mini dump that you've received?

In the meantime, if you're seeing a blue screen when the computer crashes, we suggest following the steps on this article:
Troubleshoot blue screen errors. Kindly choose the appropriate answer to the category
"When did you get the error?".

We'll wait for your response on this matter.

 

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
