Hello everyone,
Never thought I would someday post on a forum about hardware issues as I'm quite experienced, but this one drives crazy.
So about a year ago all my games started crashing randomly. Sometimes came with an error message (Unreal Engine games would either report a GPU HUNG or memory error), but most games will actually just close and nothing more.
My initial build was an i7 8700K, 32 gb of ram (4*8), and an RTX 3080, 850W corsair psu.
I changed EVERY SINGLE component, one by one. Changed the motherboard twice, and then the cpu. RMA'd my gpu, got a new one. Bought another couple of memory sticks. Bought two new nvmes and installed a clean Windows 10.
Changed my PSU too.
Now my setup has a Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 gb of ram (not the same sticks), an RTX 3080 Ti, another new 850W psu, two new NVMe drives.
I am left with not a single component from my original build and I still get the exact same crashes...
When I put my old GTX 1080 Ti, everything works flawlessly... But I would believe it is mathematically impossible to have 2 faulty GPUs in a row from the factory.
No overheating ; HWiNFO shows some thermal limitations though, but even when downclocked (-500Mhz to both gpu and memory clocks) same issue... XMP enabled too.
I spent roughly 1k€ to replace every single component but to no avail...
Any idea is welcome...
Thanks!
