TL;DR PC freezes with green dots all over the screen when I use single monitor setup but it works absolutely fine when 2 monitors are connected and turned on
Hello, so I got a very weird problem with my GPU
Here's a link with my PC specs and build:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/mircato/saved/#view=XZHKqs
I bought the GPU like 3 months ago, it's a 3080 gigabyte vision 10G rev 2.0
It all started when I unplugged my second monitor power cable while the PC was on and now the PC won't run on a single monitor.
Initially it would show green dots, and flicker but continue to be usable but now it will just freeze the entire PC forcing me to reboot it but now it immediately shows green dots and freeze after 5-15 seconds after I boot the PC with only one monitor
I could install and uninstall GPU drivers normally before, but now it goes blank when it flickers during installation or uninstallation, I found a workaround to install the drivers but that's not the issue
Here's what I tried so far:
1- removed one new memory kit I added recently
2- removed all extra SSDs and HDDs
3- Reinstalled OS
4- Tried Linux because I thought it might be a windows only issue
5- Tried another GPU on the PC and it worked flawlessly without any issues on one monitor
6- Tried safe mode and it works normally on one monitor
7- Did reset all MB bios settings
8- tried undervolting and underclocking using MSI afterburner
9- tried another monitor
10- tried another DP cable then tried an HDMI cable
11- Tried booting into an OS installed on another SSD
12- Tried different 8 pin cables that came with my PSU
13- Tried a different PCIE-4 slot
14- Tried other electricity sources with and without power strips
15- Unplugged all electric devices in my house except for the case and the monitor to make sure it's not an electricity problem
15- Tried new and old GPU drivers
and nothing worked so far
When the 2 monitors are connected PC works just fine without any issues, Furmark benchmarks are great! and i never faced issues playing my games at highest possible settings at 1440P like Apex Legends, Valorant, ESO, and CS:GO
Some friends recommended RMA'ing it but it would be somewhat difficult because I bought it internationally from Amazon Spain but I live in Africa and that would cost me much to send it for maintenance
so i was hoping to find a fix or a way to know for sure that the GPU is faulty before taking any further actions
