Just to finish up this post, I wasn't successful in getting the RTX 3060 working on my B450 motherboard - YMMV! My replacement RTX 2070 Super works just fine. Sadly I can't perform any further tests as the 3060 have been packed and will be going to someone who has no issues running it on their...

I've given up on this issue - mystery unsolved! Spent too long on it. Will report back when I get a replacement GPU that works!

@Multyspeed yes I'm using base Windows install with all updates. I just can't understand why the 3080 works with the same config e.g. the only change is GPU. They both use the same drivers, even my brother is running the same, highest level of Nvidia drivers. I haven't installed any of the 3rd...

@Multyspeed yes will try older chipset drivers and Nvidia drivers @Phaaze88 The differences between the 2 PCs is moot, the 3080 works fine in my PC but the 3060 only works in my brothers PC. Not using Nvidia Experience on either PC. Crash is usually software eg can be recovered, But a few of...

Yes old houses, but 2 of them, in 2 different cities. My PC runs the 3080 perfectly without issues so rules out house power cabling.

ok back from my brothers, AND... GPU works fine in his PC! Ran games, OCCT, all ok, not a single crash or stutter! I took my PC down also, plugged his 3080 into my PC and all fine, no crashes at all. Switched RAM sticks - I knew this wasn't going to be a problem given that the 3080 worked fine...

18, Played about with PCIe Gen settings on x16 and system in BIOS. e.g. gen2/auto - auto/gen2 - gen3/auto - auto/gen3 I saw a post that someone fixed their GPU crashing by doing this, didn't work for me, but did notice a much slower response on Gen2 settings - to be expected. 19, Downgraded to...

hmmm think it's the GPU... Ran OCCT on VRAM several times, even at 20% memory utilisation the damn thing crashes! Taking it back to my brothers for a final re-test, just can't understand why it worked in his system with ZERO crash, running happily at 4k ultra high settings..... the thing must be...

anyway after more reading, in the event viewer I see: \Device\Video3 UCodeReset TDR occured on GPUI:a00 Reset TDR occurred on GPUID:a00 Running Rise of the Tomb Raiser benchmark option (TR), it crashed with this error: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET 15, I've added TdrLevel reg key, set to 0 and...

Hi, I need some advice regarding my setup, the GPU crashes as soon as it gets to a intensive part eg 3d load, otherwise just running Windows, browsing etc is fine with no loss of power. My equipment: Gigabyte ITX B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi - on latest bios (F63c) - Link Ryzen 7 3700X 32GB DDR4 (2x...

Thank you @Bazzy 505 - appreciate the help here!

thanks, those stock copper pads look wonky BTW :)

thank you both, appreciate the prompt responses here! Yes obviously I want to return it but seller is making it difficult. After looking at stock pictures I realised that the one I have has extra heatsinks fitted on the back - any ideas why they may have done this? View...

Hi peeps, first post here. I bought a used Palit 3060 Dual OC from eBay, it arrived boxed. But upon inspection I can see that it has been put through some heavy use, possibly mining. I tested it on a couple of PCs and in both it kept on crashing whenever a 3d load was put through it. I can see...
