I had an old system that i upgraded recently.
old system worked great and had these specs:
i9-9900kf, 16gb ddr4, ROG 4090, Taichi Z390 mobo, 2x nvme drives
New system specs:
MBD: ROG Z790
CPU: i9-14900kf,
GPU: ROG 4090
SSD: 2 x NVMe
RAM: 64GB DDR5
I swapped out all the components from the old system to the new system as shown ^
Immediately it wouldn't boot and after a significant search online the solution was to change some settings in bios related to the nvme drives. That's not the current problem, just want to include the whole story. Maybe it'll be of significance.
Once i got everything to boot, i haven't been able to keep the system running for more than about 10 minutes due to system stability issues.
It is important to note that these issues persist to a new OS install on a third nvme drive, even if i remove the other two nvme drives.
With nothing running except the Desktop, moving the mouse around shows the frame rate is about 5fps.
Task Manager shows 100% GPU usage at all times. GPU is used mostly (65-98%) by a generic windows process related to graphics: Client Server Runtime Process
BSODs with many and varying stop codes, mostly related to graphics drivers but not all of them are.
About 25% of the time is a boot-to-black-screen where the system doesn't even finish posting.
Drivers/Firmware has all been updated (gpu, mobo, cpu, etc), no change.
OS has been reinstalled, no change.
Interestingly, when the graphics drivers are completely uninstalled and before Windows Update installs it's default drivers, I see no issues.
Replacing the 4090 with a working 3090 i had in my closet fixes the problem immediately. Problem returns when the 4090 is reinstalled.
Setting up the old system and putting the 4090 in it now doesn't work, issues are the same.
So i concluded that it was a gpu issue. Put in an RMA to ASUS, and they replaced it with a new replacement 4090.
Strangely, problem persists. Which points me to it not being a gpu issue.
However, while waiting for the 4090 RMA to process, the 3090 has been running the system with zero problems.
I'm out of ideas on how to proceed. Everything points to the 4090 being the problem, but two different 4090s have the same issue.
Any suggestions?
