Windows 10: 24H2 crashing games - working on a fix?

It seems to be a known issue but seeing as there are no fixes yet, maybe you need more people to bring up the problem.Ever since the 24H2 update, games have been freezing up the entire computer, forcing a hard-reboot with no other solutions.And yes, I've tried re-installing/updating graphics driver, and pretty much every solution offered so far with no avail some mention turning off Auto-HDR, some mention disabling multi-threading options in-game, etc..The only solution on specific game, POE2, that has worked is playing it on DirectX11 instead of DirectX12.Apparently the issue is easily reso

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?

 

GPU-Z 0.8.7 crash on launch

W1zzard is asking you to test so that he can suggest next steps and be able to troubleshoot the issue you have.
If another version works, it would be one set of steps.
If several other versions also fail/crash, then it would be another.

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.
