Hi,I bought an new and factory sealed 3080 yesterday. I upgraded from an 1080Ti. Reinstalled Nvidia driver just to be sure.
I am currently using this power supply, its a little bit over a year old:https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B01N9HIND1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The first thing I did after installing the GPU was to check if its working correctly.
To do that I first run a dxdiag to check for obv errors but its turned out fine. I then installed FurMark and run some presets with were working just fine, before I switched to stress tests. Even after letting a stress test run for ~20 minutes, everything is fine and the temperature of my GPU does not rise above 79°C.
I then played a little bit of WoW, which was running perfectly fine. Switches to Final Fantasy 14 and played a little bit (around 10 minutes) before I entered a new location (that I never was in before) and tried to accept a new quest.
At that point my computer just shut down as if the power was cut off. I could only reboot the computer after unplugging the power cable, waiting a few seconds and replugging. it.
Ofc this triggered some alarms and I went back to check everything. I could think of.
Reinstall drivers. Run another stress test. Start monitoring GPU and CPU under load.
Everything was fine, GPU never went above 79°. CPU spiked on 84°, but as its a X5900 this apparently is normal https://www.techradar.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-9-5900x
I tried a few more games, everything was running fine. I then decided to test FF14 again. Booted up, ran around 15 seconds, tried to accept the same quest again as before, and again complete shutdown.
Restarted and decided to try to exactly reproduce this. Started FF14 up again and this time it even crashed before I got to accept the quest (but while I was still standing right next to the quest giver).I had monitored GPU temp, CPU temp and GPU power consumption while this happened and right up until that crash everything seemed completely fine (power consumption according to HWMonitor on something like 92-96%, Temps on CPU at 80°., Temps at GPU at 72°.
So I started testing all that again and I have no idea anymore what to do, because I can reliably reproduce this issue now, but only in FF14. I don't even care that much about not being able to play exactly that game, but it is very weird that this happened the after I installed the new GPU.
In the evening I tried again after changing my power cable and the place where I connect to the power supply of my flat and instead of staying into the same zone, I moved somewhere else quickly before something happened and stayed there. Was able to stay there around 10 minutes, went 5 minutes walking around and actually PLAYING the game, went back to the zone from before, stayed for 5 minutes, just went afk 2-3 minutes, came back, PC was shut down.
I know that this might be connected to the PSU and its slowly dying and FF14 is just triggering it EXACTLY the right way, but honestly, this feels really, really unlikely. Main reason for that is ofc that the 1080ti and the 3080 both use 320w, which means that I don't suddenly use more than before and it was working fine just a day ago. I know the 3080 might spike up and consume more power but then again, I am already using a 750w PSU.
I should also mention that everything worked just fine literally a day ago (before I installed the new GPU).
I would of course really like to figure this out, preferably without completely reinstalling windows or having to disassemble everything and trying a new PSU, when I am not at least 90% sure it really actually IS the PSU. Horror scenario would ofc be its actually the GPU, but how can I figure that out?
Can you people help me, please?
