Windows 10: Windows keeps crashing and freezing

Since late May my PC keeps freezing, and either crashing or needs reboot. I've made no hardware changes, and no software changes other than windows updates. Running Windows 10 with hardware that's about 18 months old and has worked fine for the first 16 months. What typically happens is around 5 minutes into a game, the screen will freeze while game music play normally before eventually freezing or looping. The only solution is to hit the reset button. Usually, this leaves no error messages in Event Viewer, other than the "system did not shut down properly" error caused by the reset button. On

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 keeps crashing

Hi,

There are many possible reasons why the computer will keeps on crashing. One of which is missing or corrupted system files. For us to further isolate the issue, we suggest answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you accessing/doing when the computer crashes?
• Were you still able to login to the computer after it happens?
• Can you send us a screenshot of the error messages or mini dump that you've received?

In the meantime, if you're seeing a blue screen when the computer crashes, we suggest following the steps on this article:

We'll wait for your response on this matter.
