[SOLVED] Video TDR Failure: Computer black screen restarts, problem going on for 2 years

[HamCity]

I've posted about this before but new things have happened since and I'm still as baffled as ever. My dad is a software engineer and he has no idea (works with linux but still).

Current spec:

• i9 9900KF, Noctua NH U9S
• Gigabyte RTX 2070
• Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO
• 32GB TridentZ 3600MHz DDR4
• 1TB Samsung 970 EVO
• Corsair RM750x
• Windows 10

tl;dr computer black screen crashes, tried various methods to fix (microcenter help, new hard drives, windows memory diagnostic/testing 1 stick at a time, etc.)

Since that post I have installed a new PSU and formatted my SSD and reinstalled windows. Overall PC is running much smoother but it still will black screen crash randomly (4 hours in, 1 hour in, after playing a game, browsing chrome, etc.). For a few seconds my audio still works (I can hear friends talking in discord) but it cuts out and my keyboard lights freeze. Since reinstalling windows it has happened twice, my computer rebooted after a few seconds and it gave me a dump file. Previously it would not reboot and stay stuck on a black screen, and I would never get a dump file. Before I did try and fix it by putting my old 760 in to see if it was the 2070 causing the crash and I'm pretty sure it still crashed, cannot test it because I no longer have another card. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are there any applied OC's to the system?

I have not applied any, unless somehow it defaulted to an OC

There is a auto turbo stepping with both and and Intel have you tried to disable this it maybe your ram over volting this is a very common and undiagnosed problem

 

[gamerk316]

VIDEO_TDR failure gets generated when the display driver for the GPU crashes, attempts to recover, and crashes during recovery. Typically, it's one of the BSODs thats indicative of some form of GPU failure, so I'd start looking there first. I'm assuming you've changed/updated GPU drivers since the problem first started, which would imply it's not a GPU driver problem.

Based on that, I'd say the most likely failure cause if a bum GPU; possibly a bad location in VRAM or something similar. Unfortunately, the only way to really verify this is to test with another GPU and confirm if the problem goes away. There's also the outside chance of a motherboard problem, but I'd be willing to bet the GPU is the culprit for this one.

XMP is disabled unless theres another setting somewhere

I feel like I did try using a different GPU back when I had one handy but I guess its worth another shot at this point. Will update.

Xmp is for ram in dual channel for supported data link transfers. If you have more then one stick of ram this should be on. Turbo is usually in cpu settings.
