[SOLVED] RTX 2060 crashing system

[GrizzlyAdams]

Having a slight dilemma with a recent purchase. I can only assume at this point that I have a faulty GPU. Recently replaced my Geeforce GTX 970 w/ a Geeforce RTX 2060. I have intermittent issues where my computer will suddently rash without a Bsod and restarts without any sort of error messaging. I have ran tests to check for corrupt harddrives, and made sure my RAM is fine as well. When running a benchmark test using Unigine Valley, the simulation gets 'maybe' a second in and crashes my computer (RTX 2060) on High settings (I set it to Medium as well just to see if it would make a difference with no success). Just out of curiosity I plugged in my old GTX 970 to see if I received the same result. There were no crashes when running the benchmark test which makes me thing I have a faulty GPU over my PSU. My PSU is only 3 months old for reference. My specs are shown below for reference. Any input is appreciated.

CPU: Intel i7-7700k
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus XI Hero
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz
SSD/HDD: SAMSUNG 250GB (OS)
GPU: RTX 2060 / GTX 970
PSU:Corsair cx750m
Chassis: DEEPCOOL Kendomen ATX Midtower
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

You can confirm your hypothesis by using your GPU in another PC.

Till then, make sure you have the latest BIOS, Chipset drivers, Windows updates and GPU drivers that should be uninstalled and installed using DDU in safe mode, following this guide: How To - How to perform a CLEAN install of your video card drivers. | Tom's Hardware Forum
