Windows 10: Windows 10 - looks like something crashes and refreshes. Not sure what it is.

Hey. Not sure what is happening but my Laptop windows acts up - looks like it restarts the Explorer.exe. It happens either when I'm using Firefox or just on the Desktop. I've tried looking it up but couldn't find anything that resembles it.

I'm not sure how to Differentiate what is happening. For example - while say, using Firefox, I see everything basically restarts, but then the Spotify tray icon disappears, or I can't open the Whatsapp windows app. If I recall correctly it also happened while using Chrome. Not sure if it has anything to do with those browsers specifically.

I just tried again - While my Firefox window is open in one screen, trying to open Whatsapp caused this "refresh and restart".

I can't seem to point out what it is exactly that causes it.

I'm using Windows 10 Version 1909 OS Build 18363.1198 My Laptop isn't brand new but it works fine up until now. I do have an SSD.

How can I find out what causes it? And how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

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
