Windows 10: Random, frequent crashes shortly after booting

This is my last resort before I start doing any hardware-related changes, so here it goes.A little bit of background context, these crashes have been happening for what I would like to say is the past 2 years granted, I should've sorted this issue out back then, but only recently have they gotten to a point where it's actually become a proper hinderance, as before it would only happen once or twice per day, where as now it happens as often as 30 minutes. When my PC crashes, the screen freezes and while the computer is operational e.g. pressing spacebar while on a YouTube tab pauses and un-p

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?

Random Crash/Freeze on Build 10130


Hello everyone.

I have been running the Windows 10 preview for the last few months and other than a driver issue here or there, did not experience any real problems. However, with the last update to build 10130, I have been experiencing a random crash/freeze that manifests itself in one of two ways:

1. If I step away from the computer and come back before the monitor is set to go to sleep, I will come back to a frozen cursor, unable to do anything.
2. If I step away from the computer and come back after the monitor has gone to sleep, I will come back to a black screen, unable to do anything.

In both cases, I have to hold the power button in to shut down the computer for a restart.

Any direction or help would be greatly appreciated.
