Windows 10: Windows "Soft" Crashes

Recently I have been experiencing what I am calling "soft" crashes since I've found no term to describe this occurance. After a being awake for a while, my Desktop starts to malfunction. The pop-up previews on the taskbar no longer appear when I hover my mouse over the applications, the power options will not show because like the other pop-ups, it disapears as soon as I move my mouse to click 'restart', causing me to have to restart from settings. In addition to this, the few applications that can be opened at this point require me to click them multiple times to actually register. I've scanned for viruses with Symantec multiple times and have found nothing. I have also cleared a bunch of tasks and applications to take pressure off my cpu, just in case it was related to that. I am very confused and have found nothing on this issue so far.

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.

 

Soft BSOD only at restart

I've tried this for a few days for testing purposes but it didn't solve the issue.
If not for BSOD's, the custom ram setting is good.

Hd tune: Benchmark:

UPDATE:

Instead of updating the ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5 driver I just uninstalled that player with IObit Uninstaller. I don't need the player anyway.

I will set virtual ram to auto for all drives just to do your complete list - for now.

I will leave the BIOS version for last. Previously (a few months ago), I had already reset the BIOS and cleared the CMOS.
I also changed the battery to a new one - just to be thorough.

Things left to do:

1. HD Tune: Full Error Scan - all drives
2. Run Sea Tools for Windows
3. Downgrade BIOS version.

I will update after all is done.

I have 37TB of hard drives and another 20TB in a Synology server (which I won't test)
So it will take time.
