Gtx 1080 psu

[ryanm136]

Can you pls help me i have a gtx 1080 with i53570k
Pus is corsair cx600. Is this good enough to run as pc keeps crashing.

 

[rcald2000]

Yes, a 600 watt tier 3 power supply is good enough to run a GTX 1080. When you say that it's crashing, what precisely is happening? Does it freeze and a hard reboot is needed, is it rebooting automatically, what?

 

[ryanm136]

Hi rcald2000. What happens mate is that when i play a game or run a benchmark it makes a loud buzzing noise then the screen freezes and the pc is crashed then yes i have to hard reset it.

 

[rcald2000]

There is a buzzing sound coming from the power supply, GTX 1080, or out of the speaker? If it's the power supply then submit a RMA request with Corsair ASAP.

 

[ryanm136]

Its a loud buzz noise for about 2 secs that comes from my headset then the screen freezes.

The psu is 46 amp at 12v but i cant find any where on the 1080 box or on msi site about what amps the 1080 needs at 12v.

The CX 600 is known for failing with high powered GPUs, I would bet that is your issue. Get a better PSU, you don't even need more wattage, a 550w one would do.

EVGA 550 G2, GS, or G3, Seasonic G series 550, XFX TS 550, Antec VP 550, Antec HCG 550.

 

[rcald2000]

The CX 600 has more than sufficient amperage and wattage to supply the GTX 1080. What preceded this problem. Did you just upgrade to the 1080? If so, what did you have before that? Does your PC boot up into Windows? Are you able to play games initially and then it crashes? If so, then clean out your drivers with DDU (Display Drivers Uninstaller) and then download a fresh copy of the drivers from Nvidia (without Geforce experience): http://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=706

Report back if the issue is better, worse or the same.

Thanks guys yeah i just upgraded from gtx 750ti and i had a 450w psu. So i got the 1080 and i knew the psu i had wasnt good enough so i got the corsair cx600 which was £60 about. Abit ---- if it is the psu isnt good enough as i paid £60 for it. Only about 3 days ago so i should be able to get money back and i will look at them psu you said. Thanks man.

I have unstalled the drivers and then re-installed them i havnt used that software tho but i will try that.

If you can return that PSU do it, 100% and then buy yourself any PSU I listed.

After that if you still have the problem (which you may not) at least we know its not the PSU, and you will have a FAR BETTER quality PSU to boot. The CX 600 is not a good one.

Also, please watch the language.

Got a new psu today and still crashes. I run heaven benchmark on Ultra and the gpu load is on 99% a load of the time or 97% is this normal.

 

[Rogue Leader]

Does the whole system shut down or just the software?

 

[ryanm136]

The pc crashes/freezes and i have to do a hard reset.

 

[Rogue Leader]

OK

Please go into windows event viewer and check for critical errors and post here all info

 

[ryanm136]

there was a critical errors just error this was one of them

Hope this was what you wanted

 

[Rogue Leader]

So no critical errors at all?

Are you able to monitor your temperatures?

 

[ryanm136]

Yes the gpu temp is around 6oc cpu is around 60-70c under load. But the gpu load is at 99% most of the time on the benchmark which i think is a lot for a gtx 1080 or is that normal.

 

[Rogue Leader]

No that is normal when benchmarking or if you are running a game thats pushing it.

This makes me think maybe you have a different issue like bad memory. Can you run memtest86?

 

[ryanm136]

I got got a replacement for my gpu and this one is doing the same so it has to be my pc or sumthink i am doing wrong. This software you said do you have to buy it.

 

[Rogue Leader]

Its free, download and run it:

[ryanm136]

I have download it bit i am a bit confused on how to run it.

 

[ryanm136]

i just took out one of my ram sticks and they pc still crashed. So i then swapped it with the other stick 8gb of ram and it looks like it is working now. I have run 3 benchmark tests in a row with no crashes. So would this mean that one of the sticks is faulty.
Thanks for helping me with this mate.

+ryanm136 The event viewer error states that you should do a repair of Norton Security under your windows local administrative account. That makes me worry that you may have an infection causing these errors. Run the 3 programs below. Run each one to completion, before you start the next one. Then report back here please.

Thanks mate will do

 

[Rogue Leader]

I agree, looks like you solved your problem with the ram, and yeah definitely need some work to see if you have any viruses.
