Windows 10: Windows Crashes

Version:2004 OS Build: 19041.508
Hi everyone I'm completely stuck & need some help to narrow a problem down.

If I use X-Plane flight simulator everything is fine. If I use Microsoft Flight Simulator & try to load a flight, not only does the sim crash but the whole computer. On occasion, it will also knock out my monitor as well. I have to unplug & plug back in the power to use it again.

I have tested the RAM and they passed. I downloaded a program to test my Graphics card, it went well, no crashes. The card is running at around 70-80c when working hard.

What else should I be looking at? I have run out of ideas. If it was just the sim crashing to desktop I wouldn't be asking here, I realise that. Something else is going on! Thanks everyone

:)

 

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?

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.
