Windows 10: Windows Settings Crashing

Don't know quite when the issue arose. But I got a new wide screen monitor, and after hooking it up went to mess with the display settings only to find that they are consistently crashing. And only the display, sound, notifications sub-menu. Every other menu can be accessed without incident. I've been at it for hours now, and my frustration is nearing rage. Solutions tried:sfc /scannowDISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanhealthDISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /RestorehealthDISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanupnothing changed after running these lines and ----------------uninsta

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.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
