Windows 10: windows update crashed my system yesterday.

My system did a restart yesterday, 10/12, after a windows critical update and when it rebooted it was a black screen with a small white box upper left on the black screen that said,error, Internet Explorer isn't responding.Funny thing was I could CTRL/ALT/DELETE, and had task manager, but nothing else.Finally, after 5 attempts of full power cycles, I got it too blue screen of recovery under advanced tab.I chose a restore point and restored the system to the 7th, working fine so far.Then I ran a SFC /scannow, said there were corrupted files and repaired them, except some couldn't be repaired.

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.

Came here to suggest this.*Laugh :laugh:

Definitely not an issue with the Windows Servers as I just re-installed yesterday and got all my updates.
