Question Asus ROG Strix 3080 crashes and low performance

[Sim33]

Hello!

I'm having an issue with my GPU. It started a few weeks ago: my screen freeze for seemingly no reason then the PC restarts. The strange thing is that it only happened while I was watching videos or I did 3D modeling in Fusion 360. Sometimes I had a few second black screen in games. When I checked in Windows Reliability Monitor I had several LiveKernel 141 error codes. I then went to a forum and I tried everything they said. I even bought a new 850W PSU but still nothing has changed. Now suddenly I have a big performance drop:

This is my lowest score with undervolting:

I scored 13 186 in Time Spy

Intel Core i7-10700K Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 x 1, 32768 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

This is my score after I installed the newest driver and I tweaked some things in the BIOS (From default I set my profile to XMPII):

I scored 14 155 in Time Spy

Intel Core i7-10700K Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 x 1, 32768 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

And this was my score before:

I scored 15 905 in Time Spy

Intel Core i7-10700K Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 x 1, 32768 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

I'm currently trying to decide to purchase a new GPU or there is something software related problem (but I doubt it)

What I tried so far:

-Several Memory tests
-CPU stress tests
-Upgraded PSU
-Updated every driver
-Uninstalled the VGA driver with DDU and installed the newest one
-Tried an older windows system restore point

Th email question is there anything on the system you need to be saved? If so can it be stored on a separate drive for temporary system maintenance?

No there is nothing important. I can do a clean windows install if that's what you have in mind.

Make sure you do not have G-Sync on, also if you have AORUS or Gigabyte motherboard deactivahe eist or what is called the power controll setting in bios, tweaker, advanced cpu, had same issue and this fixed it for me.

I would try a fresh install sounds like windows has decided to corrupt itself this is really common with the newer updates for Some reason they haven't been wanting to install correctly
