Hey everyone,
Had a very weird issue with my RTX 3080 Ti Aorus Master. I bought the card three weeks ago and it worked as expected (yet very noisy when gaming). Two weeks later, I started having an annoying crackling sound in my headphones (Logitech Pro X Wireless), which led me to believe that they may be faulty.
During the next gaming session, the crackling sound happened again, and then... my two monitors went black, with no sound and no image. The PC was still on, fans were spinning, even the graphics card LEDs and LCD screen were on. But I then noticed that the VGA LED on the motherboard was solid white. I returned the card to the retailer t was bought from. They tried the card on different PCS with different PSUs, and it would not post anymore. They gave me a 3060 as replacement card (while I RMA'ed the other one), and it worked fine for 5 days (tuned down the resolution to 1080p) until the crackling sound happened again...
I decided not to push things furthermore and turned off the PC until I figure out all of this. Could this come from a faulty PSU? Faulty mobo? Thanks for your help.
