    Question PC crashes when gaming, and tons "WHEA Logger Event ID 18" errors ?

    On a side note, any idea how to locate what this iconless app in my tray is? Hovering/clicking on it does absolutely nothing.

    Question PC crashes when gaming, and tons "WHEA Logger Event ID 18" errors ?

    Thanks! I'll run it as soon as I have a gap. If I come back to my PC and it's at the startup page, I'll know it crashed -_- If that passes, then it'll have to be the motherboard by process of elimination. For now, getting rid of Armory Crate

    Here's a video of the crash: View: https://youtu.be/eZprVu-F8Zg Can't trigger this with any stress tests, but any game that pushes the CPU triggers the crash.

    Question PC crashes when gaming, and tons "WHEA Logger Event ID 18" errors ?

    I installed those 2 days ago, which made the crashing substantially worse. Also increased my temps by 20 degrees on idle. No actual BSOD. Just the screen glitching out, then full reboot. If it happens too frequently, Windows goes into OS repair.

    Question PC crashes when gaming, and tons "WHEA Logger Event ID 18" errors ?

    I've been having a recurring issue where my PC crashes during gaming. Event Viewer shows "WHEA Logger Event ID 18" errors with a random Processor APIC ID. I've also noticed that, after this crash occurs, Windows selects a random different Power Plan, where some of the options are missing after...

    Question PC 'Slow crashing'. I have no other idea how to describe this.

    Yessir, all up to date. This has happened on B450, as well as B550 platforms,, though the issue occurs a lot less with the newer parts.

    Question PC 'Slow crashing'. I have no other idea how to describe this.

    I've been having an odd issue on my PC where, when I launch an app (could be a browser, game, anything triggers it, but not consistently), the app would function just fine, but everything around it would slowly crash. Signs of the crash occurring: Unable to open File Explorer The launched app...

    Question CPU usage and temperature is high, but drops once I open Task Manager

    The high temps I can monitor directly on my CPU cooler. As for monitoring apps, I tried using Process Monitor and Process Explorer, but the app closes immediately with those, too

    Question CPU usage and temperature is high, but drops once I open Task Manager

    Nothing unusual. The last thing I downloaded and installed was on Steam. Oddly, right now, it's not happening. But I can 100% guarantee that restarting my PC will trigger it again

    Question CPU usage and temperature is high, but drops once I open Task Manager

    About 10 seconds after startup, something runs on my PC that puts a lot of strain on my CPU. I'm suspecting a cryptojacker, but I can't find anything. As soon as I open Task Manager, the highest usage task, labeled "System Interrupts" stays open for about 2 seconds, then closes. As soon as I...

    CPU stuck at 100% on a clean install.

    I recently bought an AMD Ryzen R7 1700 and simply replaced my old LGA1155 setup with the new X370 setup (stupid I know) but it was working perfectly. After a week my CPU suddenly got stuck at 100% usage with nothing open, so I decided to do a clean format. Now no matter what I do, the CPU stays...

    Gigabyte GTX550 ti fan upgrade

    I recently got a Windforce fan that came with a different model Gigabyte GTX550ti and replaced the fan on mine with it. It seems to work fine until I play straining games on it, where the screen randomly goes black, but the game reacts as if I was tabbed out. Any idea what is causing this?
