Experiencing an interesting type of crash I believe is coming from the GPU. When running video games or other graphically intensive applications like Heaven Benchmark 4.0, Red Dead Redemption 2, Blender Renders, etc. This crash causes both of my monitors to go black, and into 'inactive' mode. Audio will continue playing through my headphones, but I always have to press the power button to let windows shut down and reset the driver before I can get video back. Also on a rare occasion, when booting the PC after a crash, the windows login screen will display very odd artifacting, which only a quick glance at the bios (don't need to change anything) will resolve.
When the driver crashes, the GPU will display a red LED light indication next to the 12pin Nvidia PCIE power cable adapter, which I believe indicates that no power is coming into the unit? The same Red LED turns on when the system is off, and stays on until the system is booted. When the GPU crashes and the LED turns on, about 30-60 seconds later the LED will turn back off, but the display drivers do not recover (this is before I press the power button to reboot the system).
I have taken a video of the crashing process which I can upload, running Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and monitoring HWinfo. To my knowledge, there is not any temperatures out of line, nor is there appear to be any abnormal voltages.
I have taken the following steps in my own troubleshooting process:
- Fresh install Windows 11 (Excluding Armoury Crate and other similar softwares)
- Set everything to default values in BIOS
- Reseat GPU into PCIe Lane
- Reseat all power cables between GPU and PSU
- Roll back Nvidia Driver from 522.25 to 516.59
- Roll back BIOS from 1720 to 1505
- Turn on/off XMP Profiles
- Reseat RAM
- Move M.2 drive off of the shared Gen5 lane with GPU
- Swapped GPU out for an old EVGA 1050ti and ran HeavenBenchmark4 with no crash
Thanks for coming to my ted talk, am happy to discuss and troubleshoot further, and provide more screenshots. I will be available to do so. Not sure if I have a Lemon GPU on my hands and need to RMA or if there is some deeper compatibility issues with the rig I have built.
Someday, when I have a lot more time and money, I will become an overclocking God.
