Your Graphics drivers are 3 years old. You should update. Also note that it is a Workstation Graphics card not suited for gaming. I would recommend that graphics settings is not set higher than medium with this card.

        Hi, I have a similar issue. Windows 10 crashes and it shuts down automatically when playing. Could you check if my dxdiag is ok?

        thanks, K

      @blueberrynad  There is only 33.1 free space on the system device. IMO a 128Gb SSD is not big enough for a gaming computer. This configuration requires constant monitoring to make sure there is enough free space for the operating system on the system drive. Any change (new files, application update, etc) can affect the operating environment. The video driver is not WHQL which means that the driver has not been tested by Microsoft. IMO you will continue to experience issues with lack of free space on the system drive - Windows bloats - that is just what it does and the only solution is to give it run to breath. If you are off loading your applications to a conventional drive then those applications will not get the benefit of the speed of the ssd. So your computer boots a little faster - I'll have another sip of coffee.
