    System lockups, BSOD, games crash. errors vary.


    Ok . I am getting random system lockups, can happen anytime. Sometimes using when using chrome or just on desktop. Happens most often when windows is on login screen, or sometime right before windows loads. Playing any game I have will cause crash to desktop. Crash time varies from game loading screen to playing game for a few minutes.

    So far I have reinstalled windows 3 times. I have replaced motherboard because it crashed during bios update, thus ruining mobo, tried different power supply also. After installing windows I have installed latest drivers that I could find, didnt seem to make any difference from the drivers that were loaded when windows was first installed. I did notice that after I installed pc matic I got constant BSOD, So I uninstalled it. fewer BSOD But still have lockups and game crashes.

    I have ran memtest for 24 hours with no errors, also ran tests on ssd and hdd drives with no errors.
    I should have the files attached to this post.
    AMD fx9370
    asus m5a99fx pro 2.0
    16 gb ram
    Amd radeon R9 200
    sandisk 120gb ssd
    toshiba 2Tb drive
    LG dvd drive

    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?

    Ok, Installed new corsair liquid cooler and reinstalled windows on a new ssd drive. System seems to run better. I still am getting lockups but no bsod yet. lockup happens so far only during gameplay. I can go much longer than before it locks up now , where as before it would just crash the program after only a couple minutes.
