Windows 10: Why does my pc crash and lose output but stays powered on?

Whenever I am playing a game my pc will lose all output but stays turned on... It makes me have to reset my computer.

:)

 

Computer will randomly crash without a BSOD or Error and stays powered

Did that stuff with DDU step by step and had another crash just now while playing a game.

Saw a return of previous errors in the Event Manager.

• 1 instance of Critical: "Kernel-Power"
  
• 2 instances of Error: "Application Error", "Faulting application name: dwm.exe"
  
• 1 instance of Error: "EventLog"
  
• 1 instance of Warning: "Dwminit", "The Desktop Window Manager process has exited. (Process exit code: 0xe0464645, Restart count: 1, Primary display device ID: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080)"
  

 

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?

Hi Godfrey,

  What is the make model of the Laptop?
  

Initially, I suggest you to run the power troubleshooter
and check if it helps.

Power troubleshooter will automatically fix some common issues with Power Plans. It checks things like your computer's timeout settings, which determine how long the computer waits before turning off the monitor display or entering sleep mode.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Type troubleshooting in the search box of task bar.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting and click on
  System and Security.
  
• 
  Click on Power and follow the onscreen instructions.
  

Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
