Interesting suggestion, as I return to revive this thread I am having the same issue come up again. Windows has begun soft locking after being idle for some amount of time between 15-20 mins. I had updated the XMP profile to the manufacturer's settings and the issue initially disappeared. But...

Turning on XMP profiles did the trick. Thanks for the help.

After talking with a friend I found out that XMP profiles need to be enabled for the memory to run at manufacturer speeds... I was under the impression that enabling this setting would overclock my ram and I wanted to avoid that. I was wrong, and have now enabled this feature. There is no way...

it says 2133 MHz... but I bought 3600 MHz ram? and btw i reset my bios settings to default just now.

As far as I know, default speeds. I'm not quite sure if the MOBO set an overclock automatically. Could it be an unstable overclock?

I recently built a new pc. Working fine. However, most more recently it has been softlocking after about 1 hour of use. I can close windows, move my mouse around, even type with my keyboard. But spotify loops the last 1 second of music, i cant open the windows start menu, and programs/files...

So I built a new computer, reusing my GPU. No problems now. Problems solved. To me, this confirms my suspicion of a Motherboard fault. EDIT: I was using DEBUG MODE in NVIDIA control panel for a while so get around my problems.

New issues Overwatch, a game I typically play on low settings without any issues is now giving artifacts, strange polygon errors, and crashing/freezing. Most games are exhibiting the same behaviors of running fine with few or no errors/bugs for a few minutes before crashing... So very strange...

I tried a fresh installation of windows and had no success.

I have tried reinstalling all the games I am having issues with and that changed nothing. I do not have my old GTX 1080 as I sold it before upgrading to the GTX 1080 Ti. I used to be in the habit of reinstalling windows every year or so to prevent and solve issues I had come across. It usually...

As mentioned in the first post, I have reinstalled drivers many times with no success. I only download drivers from NVIDIA's site and used Display Driver Uninstaller in between each install. I have not tried the single ram stick trick, but I will try that. GPU temps during mining never...

I do not have any spare power supplies to test the build with. I haven't tried re-seating the GPU in the PCIe slot, but I will try that.

I guess this was too long for anyone to care enough to read it fully. TL;DR - I've been having issues since before I did the mining and many games I've been having crashing issues with have run without issue in the past. Any ideas? I've tried all the easy stuff.

Hello, This is my first post on this forum, but I have come here many times in the past to solve technical issues. I have decided it is time to make my own post on here to seek out some help regarding GPU issues I have been having. This issue is very complex and not a short story, but please...
