Thanks @cryoburner, the confusion on my end is that the slot and board Z490 are marketed as PCI4 ready and just sits on an 'auto mode' in BIOS (maybe that's just their way of marketing it and a BIOS update will be available when intel actually release Gen4 processors). The scare I had was that I...

Thanks, but do I need to upgrade my riser cable to be 'PCIe4', the odd part in this setup will be that; CPU - PCI3 only support Mobo - PCI4 supported (but will determine the gen automatically) Riser - built pre-PCI4 GPU- PCI4 Will I need to do tinkering, or should it in theory work out the box?

Hey guys, I'm thinking ahead to my 3080 (whenever I get one) with my existing build. Here is my speccy; http://speccy.piriform.com/results/dMNxcfs4YZmVcBueVzPfFz2 Basically, my Motherboard (Z490 AORUS ELITE AC) is PCI.4 ready (that said Intel isn't ready and only supports PCI3), and I know...

Update - I run a complete format of my SSD with Windows, deleting the partition then reinstalled all my motherboard drivers from scratch without the GPU installed. I then installed the GPU and immediately got artefacts on screen and crashing, with subsequent reboots, both in windows and the BIOS...

I've just had a crash, exactly the same as before. I'm going to RMA the GPU as I'm out of options I think?

Hmm, I haven't tried running for a period of time with the Integrated Graphics, however I did revert to my EVGA 980 for about 24-36 hours, left it running for a good 8 hours in a row without any reboots or HW failures etc. So my suspicion is still the GPU..... I got through about 2 hours solid...

In one last hail mary, I've updated my MB drivers for Intel I/O, chipset and all that good stuff. One more crash and I'm going to RMA I think.

So the inevitable has happened, the PC has been sitting idle all day in Windows, at 18:04 the system reboot unexpectedly. This is the source error just prior to the critical error; The description for Event ID 56 from source Application Popup cannot be found. Either the component that raises...

Hey ultimatenerkmid, Just checked some of my older Event Viewer logs and can see at least one Kernal Power 41 entry, with bug code 278, although they are not all producing this error. I do think the source of the problem is the GPU, however I'm monitoring the system following a BIOS flash and...

I've removed the Aorus Engine for good measure, although I noticed it needed an update.

Saying that does the Aorus Engine class as a Tuning Tool? Thanks

Hey Helpstar, Thanks for the response, here's what I have done so far; Updated my BIOS to vF5C Run a userbenchmark - https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/34423346 Run a memtest on my memory, all clean for all 4 passes Cleaned down the drivers in safe mode with DDU and installed the latest...

Hi all, Hoping someone can help a little here; I recently re-built my computer from scratch (recycling the case, PSU and drives), as my older PC was running near 6 years old. I seem to be having system and game crashes sporadically and I cant seem to pinpoint he source of the issue, everything...

UPDATE: I have since added my new PSU to my rig, and voila, seems to be working fine. Testing a few reboots, and even started running some high performance games, and run some scans. As stated in my previous update, I'm disappointed in Seasonic, I guess its down to chance in some respect but 2...

Thanks, so it shouldn't see a performance drop in theory on Frames if I set the resolution on the PC to 1080, if my TV up scaled do you think it would effect frames/performance?
