Hey all!
Got the PC back in november, ran great for a while until about a month ago. Fans go to max speed, monitor's go black then lose connection, audio/music generally still playing and all RGB lights still on, but no response and cant reinitiate display driver either. Only happens under some sort of load, never while idle / browsing or watching videos as of yet. Now pretty consistently shuts off in a few seconds while gaming with factory oc's, furmark/3dmark tests last a second or two.
Although I can somewhat play wow on the lowest settings by turning CPU and GPU power to 50%, basically every other game crashes within a few minutes and wow if I turn up graphics at all. GPU/CPU temps have never ran hot in hwinfo, CPU sitting around 38 C and GPU around 41 C 50C hotspot under load post thermal paste, pre paste gpu was around 60 C avg 70 C hot spot. I have reinstalled / formatted windows multiple times, reflashed mobo, cleared CMOS, repasted/padded GPU and CPU, DDU uninstall, reinstalled all drivers, tried a bunch of different GPU drivers, countless DISM and sfc /scannows, chkdsk, windows memory diagnostic, changed basically all bios and nvidia control panel settings, countless virus scans and windows settings changes. Lowered the resolution to 1080p on my main 32' monitor and it seemed like it crashed just as fast, if not faster. PC will not reset itself once it happens, will force turn off pressing and holding power button immediately, will turn off by pressing power button once after waiting a few minutes.
A few of the errors from event viewer off the top of my mind that I've seen pop up in the various reinstalls;
Kernal 41 / 141 code 1033
dwm.exe has crashed
Nvidia container stopped working
nvlddmkm has stopped responding.
along with a couple weird advapi logins and some dcom errors
At this point I'm pretty sure it's either the PSU or GPU, no other setup I can test them in though.
Honestly leaning towards PSU at this point, with the draw of the GPU overclocked from factory as well as the overclocked 11900k, which when I reset to UEFI defaults all of the OC settings are turned on already, has to be straining the 650 watt PSU. Add on the giant 360mm cooler, fans, rgb, wifi, accessories, and gaming for hours on max settings may have done a number on it. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions
Plugged into CyberpowerPC 1500w UPS, tried wall socket still happened.
Monitors: 2 asus 1 msi 27' 1080 p 144hz capable at 60hz, 1 LG ultragear 32' 2k 165hz, have tried other refresh rates with no success
EDIT 5/19/23
Replaced the PSU with a corsair RMX1000, ran great for a few minutes giving me a false feeling of security then crashed again, hahah. Contacting Gigabyte about sending the 2080 super back; still under warranty. Will update again when I get a new/fixed card.
