Windows 10: Windows repeatedly crashes - RAM problem?

Hello everyone,



I've been experiencing problems with my laptop for nearly two weeks. Even though I have not yet figured out what the triggering event of the crash is, typically the situation unfolds as follows: before the blue screen pops up, the overall performance of my laptop slows down to a point where it is difficult to perform even the most basic tasks especially when the computer is running in battery mode; In response to the situation, I updated windows and the graphic card drivers to their latest versions and launched the Windows memory diagnostic app no errors were found, so the issue seems to stem from a different source. I also tried to check out the DUMP files but failed to identify what is causing the blue screens. Some of the messages are:



- A corrupt PTE has been detected. Parameter 2 contains the address of the PTE. Parameters 3/4 contain the low/high parts of the PTE.


- The system cumulatively spent an extended period of time at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. The offending component can usually be identified with a stack trace.

I'm not entirely sure whether this information is relevant or not, but I have the feeling that the glitches have increased since I bought a monitor to complement my laptop screen. Could this be a simple coincidence?

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.

 

Windows Explorer crashes and thumbnails problem

Hi, I hope you can help me.
Windows Explorer is no longer showing thumbnails on files played by Windows Media Player. I've run cmd and regsvr32 shmedia.dll and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. That seemed to solve the problem...but it created a different one. Now when I try to open a folder on an external hard drive it crashes. I read in an old 2008 post it was an avi file causing the problem and suggested the run cmd regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. That solved the opening problem but recreated the thumbnail problem. Any help to achieve both functions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
