Windows 10: windows 10 randomly crashes

So, i've tried windows 10 a few times, and always had the same issues. A few months back something happened with my windows 8 and i was forced to permanently upgrade to 10. Every time, and ever since upgrading, my PC randomly shuts down. It could be two minutes after start up or two hours, but it always happens. Sometimes it's while i'm gaming, sometimes it's while i'm just staring at my desktop. All my drivers are up to date and i should have more than enough ram/memory/graphic memory/etc. to run 10.


This basically makes my computer a big useless brick, so if i could get some answers to this soon that would be great. thank you

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
