what psu do you have

Update: due to another problem with BSOD I upgraded my PSU. That has seemed to resolve my BSOD and this problem along with it.

Just upgraded to a new PSU (850 W). Unsure the actual reason I was having the crashes, but so far my problem has been solved after replacing it.

I just ran OCCT stress test and I was able to replicate the crash. View: https://imgur.com/a/gqrnaqa I am not knowledgeable enough to to ascertain the results as a direct cause of my PSU. But considering that my temps were fine in previous image, what else would be the cause? My RAM is...

Perhaps, but all the symptoms are leading me to believe it is. Ive been reading that the 3080 has a tendency to transiently spike way higher than its 350 TDP. Not sure where to go from here

I was able to get another BSOD error: unexpected_store_excpetion

I downloaded Windows ISO onto a USB drive and went through the installation prompts and downloaded the drives by going to the necessary websites directly (Nvidia for GPU and Asus for MB) My PSU is around 4 years old. The PC is connected to a surge protector (rated for 1200W). I will have to...

If the drive shorted, then clearing CMOS or restarting my PC wouldn't intermittently solve the issue, correct? In that case, would I need to test my PSU with a voltmeter to check if it is still supplying the correct voltage? Or is there another way to figure out whether it is a motherboard vs...

Yes there is a heatsink on the M.2. Bios and drivers are up to date. PSU is 3 years old.

The board already has a small tiny standoff. So I don't see how it could be touching the motherboard. I just placed another standoff and it doesn't seem to change the issue. How do I check if I fried my SSD?

Perhaps. But, I have run by PC under a stress test and my wattage never exceeds 580 or so, and I don't have any issues. Does that at least make you less suspicious of the PSU as a cause?

Because I have 2 brand new samsung EVOs (970 and 980 Pro) that are going through the same issues. Its just that I have run every diagnostic and repair related to my disks and got 2 new SSD. The only other problems that seem to solve it for other people is buying a new PSU because their old one...
