Hi All,
Below are my specs:
Ryzen 3600x (2.5 yrs old claimed warranty for a memory controller issue in Nov 2022)
Corsair Vengence 2x8 GB 3000 mhz (5.5 yrs old)
MSI B450 Tomohawk Max (5.5 yrs old)
WD blue 1 TB NVME PCI E 3 (4 yrs old)
Zotac 3070 White (bought used 2 months back)
Cooler master MWE 650 v3 Bronze ATX 3.1 (2 months old)
So, Been using this pc for more than 5 yrs now, recently swapped my gtx 1660 ti for a used 3070 which I bough locally after testing with furmark and superposition for a while. Temp on stock curve hit 73 74 without AC 69 70 with AC, full load. Everything seemed fine, I had a cooler master mwe 550 v2 PSU before, bought a 650 v3 to be safe when I swapped GPUs. Everything was fine for a while, last month I had a nvlddmkm error and valhalla crashed, this has happened with my old GPU too, just with valhalla. So didn't think much of it, all other games have been solid, I play pubg, witcher 3, jedi falen order, UC4, lost legacy, GOW 2018 and RDR2 on this, even few other games no issues.
However, when I saw the valhalla crash I also noticed another nvlddmkm entry on the event viewer when I was using the pc normally, again just DDU'd the driver and reinstalled 566.36 as newer drivers have apparently been giving issues for a lot. All was well since then, no issues, suddenly just a hr ago When I opened control I saw some artifacting, not typical GPU artifacting but before the game's flash screen, then the game opened fine, then I remembered I was trying the game out on my 4k tv last night with DLSS and thought maybe the game was adjusting to the monitor again. Then in the game, I noticed some black mold like artifact on the floor, moving the mouse made it go away, tried changing the settings and the game stopped responding, brought up task manager and closed the game, found around 30 nvlddmkm errors, 153 and 13, in the past when valhalla crashed it was alway 153, 13 was new and I got the below 3 errors:
SM Warp Exception on (GPC 4, TPC 0, SM 0): Illegal Instruction Encoding
SM Global Exception on (GPC 4, TPC 0, SM 0): Multiple Warp Errors
\Device\Video3 Graphics Exception: ESR
Then, the PC crashed with BSOD fast eresource precondition violation.
Restarted, ran the game again, all was fine played for a while, ran OCCT Vram test for an hr, fine, Ran superposition for a while fine again, ran heaven for a while, stable.
Now I don't know what caused it, researching online points to RAM, PSU and perhaps the GPU. How can I narrow it down. Also, another thing, I was cleaning my cpu fan last month, had to remove the ram sticks for that, when I put them back in and booted the PC was stuck in POST with DRAM LED, after multiple tries with swapping RAM modules, clearing CMOS and enabling XMP it finally somehow worked, I chalked it up to me fiddling with CPU cooler somehow may have put some pressure on the mount and caused it. Now, coming to think of it, could it be a RAM issue? maybe the CPU memory controller is failing again or perhaps the SMPS? Failed to mention, the PC did turn off even with the smallest of shakes last month, that is when I sort of tightened everything and cleaned the cpu cooler also, then that has stopped, so many signs, I am confused as to what is causing the issues now?
