[SOLVED] GIGABYTE RTX 3080 Eagle 10GB Screen gpes black when gaming

[HELP_ME_PLS_I_CANT_GAME]

Hello

These are my components

i9-10850K
GIGABYTE RTX 3080 Eagle 10GB (Driver 461.40)
2x8 GB HyperX Fury 2133 RAM
MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI (MS-7C79)
Corsair RM850i (850W)

No matter what I do at some point when gaming my screens go black and I have to restart my PC to be able to see anything again.

I checked the event viewer and it seems like these 3 events always happen before/during the problem.

1. File System Filter 'npsvctrig' (10.0, ‎2025‎-‎01‎-‎06T03:41:12.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.
2. File System Filter 'atc' (10.0, ‎2020‎-‎11‎-‎28T17:42:33.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.
3. File System Filter 'FileCrypt' (10.0, ‎2002‎-‎03‎-‎01T12:12:42.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.

Here's what I've tried so far not in order:

• Factory reset Windows 10
• Set GPU to debug mode in Nvidia control panel
• Nvidia control panel>3D settings --> set power management mode to prefer maximum performance
• Lower game settings (it even happens on not very demanding games like Hearthstone)
• sfc /scannow in the CMD (admin)
• roll drivers back with DDU
• Add TdrDelay 10 decimal value in registry
• Make sure that PSU cables are plugged in correctely
• Make sure that GPU is in PCIE port correctely and that the cables are in as well
• Windows Memory Diagnostic

Nothing has helped so far.

Do I need a new GPU? That would suck.

Do you have another high quality PSU to try? I have seen numerous threads with people having issues with RM non X Corsair PSU’s and RTX 3080 & 3090’s.

It’s not the age. As said I have seen numerous reports of issues which seem to stem from poor transient response performance of those models. I am not saying for sure it’s the problem but it stands out as a possible cause.

I also recommend you to move on 1000w

The wattage isn't the problem, it the performance of the psu. Im running a 3080 with a 3700x on a high quality 650w with zero issues. Now the OP's cpu can take about 150w more than the 3700x so a high quality 850w in the build has about 50w more headroom than I am running.

Got any recommendations? I would prefer a modular PSU. Also is there a way to test it out to see if it's the problem?

SOLVED: One of the 6+2 connectors was faulty so it wasn't getting powered correctly. I swapped the cable out for a different one and it all works now
