[SOLVED] MSI 3080 TI keeps crashing?

[deadpool7284]

Hello, so about 3 months ago I bought a MSI 3080 Ti OC 12gb. My problem is whenever I play any sort of gpu intensive game for example, either my whole computer will restart or the game will crash. I am not really sure why this is happening, but all Ive really tried is reinstalling my drivers. I tried to undervolt my gpu, underclock it, but nothing has really worked. I even under clocked it down -100 on msi after burner, but still the crashing continues after about 30 minutes to an hour.

My Computer Specs Are:

Motherboard: ROG Maximus XIII Hero
CPU: Intel Core i7-11700K
SSD: SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB x2
PSU: Corsair HX Series, HX1000, 1000 Watt, 80+ Platinum
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600

Also, after watching MSI after burner for a little bit, ive noticed that my gpus memory randomly spikes up to max and then drops down, I am not sure if it has anything to do with the issue.

How are your temps. Run HWInfo64 whilst gaming and watch the max temp recording, assuming you can without total pc crash.

Suddenly PC crash restarts can be due to a bad PSU.

My temps id say are pretty normal for the rtx 3080ti, I average around 70-78 when playing any gpu intensive game. Though this is not me using the program you recommended, I normally use speccy or msi after burner to watch the temps. And the pc doesnt crash all the time, sometimes just the game crashes.

Do you have the latest BIOS version for your Mobo. Version 1202 (dated 28 Dec 2021) is the latest and may bring stability.

I just downloaded them, but sadly it did not fix the issue, I am starting to believe it may very well be a hardware issue. Ill be testing my old gpu to see if the crashes will occur still.

This was my issue, not the psu itself, but I had some extension cables that werent allowing my gpu to get the power it needed. Thank you for giving me the idea to check my psu.
