    Windows update crash my printer


    Hi, im using win 10 pro in my office and i have a network printer that crashed microsoft office apps when it tried to open file or print document.I already googled the solution which is to uninstall the update. The problem is, after i restart the pc, this solution works for a few days before it will crash again because windows will install that update again.I once more googled the problem and it told me to delete the content of softwaredistribution folder and disable win update from services, but it doesnt work and still installing the update when i restart the pc.Is there any other solution i

    :)

    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?
