Question ASUS Vega 64 STRIX Crashing

[zangiamit91]

Hey All, I have Vega 64 Asus Strix (ROG-STRIX-RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING) and I'm struggling with unstabilized, after 1-2 hours of gaming the computer collapse (shut down) and reboot immediately I can't really get solved this issue no matter what I tried.

my system spec -

z390 designare gigabyte

4x16 ram corsair lpx

i9 9900k

Asus vega 64

hx1000i

3xhdd

2xm.2

corsair commander + 6 fans

Noctua dh CPU cooler



- Mobo Bios latest - F9b (also happened with F7) tried default settings and my Hackintosh version bios, no difference.

- AMD Latest driver 20.5.1 (also happened with the ASUS officially driver from their website and the AMD stable version 20.4.2)

- Windows 10 20H1 version

- Power connected with 2 different cables to PSU

- I set my PSU to a multi-rail mode in iCUE software, also tired with single rail mode, no difference.

- tried 2 sticks of ram, swap them, 1 stick, no difference.

- I did MemTest86, everything fine.

- tried different profiles on ASUS GPU Tweaks, also tried to change the bios from the card dual bios option, no difference.

- tried to update the firmware from ASUS website, no difference.

- tried to update the firmware from https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/ , again, no difference.

- temperatures are fine, around 70-80 Celsius



really don't know what to do or try, Asus support told that they can't do anything, and I can send the card to them, but I must to use this card for my working OSX machine, so I want to try to point on the problem.



I want to try to replace the thermal pad and change the thermal paste to try again and check if there are any temp issues, like in this post View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/96l9da/strix_vega_fixing_the_horrendous_vrm_heat/




please help!

It could be temps or not enough power, could be high VRM temps, also, what's your PSU's make, model and wattage?

Hey again, well I did the thermal pad and paste change, and under-clock the GPU from the Asus GPU tweak II to this settings -
GPU clock (Mhz) - 1400
GPU Voltage (mV) -1100
Memory Clock (MHz) - 1900
Memory Voltage (mV) - 1100
Fan Speed - Default
Power target (%) - 90
GPU Temp Target (C) - 78
external fan speed - default

the default settings is -
Gpu clock (Mhz) - 1630
Gpu Voltage (mV) -1200
Memory Clock (MHz) - 1900
Memory Voltage (mV) - 1100
Fan Speed - Default
Power target (%) - 100
GPU Temp Target (C) - 78
external fan speed - default

I can play a bit longer but I for crash-reboot a few times since then ... I'm lost for more ideas

I had something similar and it turned out to be a motherboard problem.

I read your post, did you solved that issue?
mine issue is a bit different than your , so i don't think that is something reliable to my MOBO

Breaking News.
I to on the vega to a friend, and we test it over there; the vega was permanent stable!
I found out that my corsair hx1000i was defect and I sand it back to I'm rma, and bought Evga g3 1000w and everything is completely perfect now! No crashing and great performance!
