Windows 10: Windows Crashing, potential memory error

Hello!My PC has been crashing recently, and I am pretty sure it is some kind of ram/memory error, but I wanted to ask around before I buy new ram if I dont have to. This error was first noticed with a crashing of Dota 2, giving a "pak01 vpk corrupt" error message. This has now progressed to my entire PC crashing, and I believe these are related issues. I have the dmp files, but I am not sure how to read them to be honest. Anyone have and ideas?Thanks,Jack

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?

 

all games crash!

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.

To do so, follow these methods to open BIOS.

Method #1: Complete shutdown

Hold the Shift key while also pressing the Shutdown button

If it’s enabled, disable it

Save the settings and exit BIOS by hitting the F10 key. Choose Yes if you’re asked to exit with saving the changes
