Windows 10: Windows crashes on shutdown

Hello. Ever since Microsoft forced me to download the new "feature update" that I didn't want, my system no longer shuts down, and can't figure out why. Any extended use replicates this problem, and it's beginning to cause data corruption. It will attempt to shutdown, then it will just die on the shutdown screen and sit there doing nothing. I've let it sit overnight before, and still nothing, I have to force powerdown hold power button for 5 seconds. Event viewer is more than unhelpful and tells me nothing, just information blurbs. I'm beyond frustrated at this point and have no idea how to rectify this. Rolling back didn't seem to help, so I'm not sure what else to try other than Nuke it and do a fresh install.

Any insight that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Maabuss

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?

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.
