Windows 10: PC Crashing or Freezing randomly

This is my third attempt at writing this as my computer keeps freezing randomly and getting annoying. So here is the rundown basically The problems started last year around this time and my computer screen would randomly freeze and crash without warning. If Audio was in the background it would play for around 30 seconds and then stop. If I keep my computer on the login screen, it doesn't crash as often, but as soon as I log in its like a mind field, and 5 to 10 minutes later, it crashes. I have looked through countless articles and forums for the past year with no success. this is my first tim

Windows 10 freezes randomly

I had already tried turning off fast startup, to no avail.
Will look at the list you provided, thanks. Hard to do when computer freezes on the Windows loading screen though. *Biggrin

I had tried that as well... no result.

 

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?

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.
