Error detected during GPU operation.
Error detected during GPU operation.
Hello everyone, here are the details: The setup includes an R7 3700X with stock LianLi Galahad 360mm AIO motherboard, an Asus X570-E, a KFA2 RTX 2080Ti, and an SG graphics card. I’m using the latest drivers for both the GPU and the motherboard, along with the most recent OS updates. The system runs on the latest firmware and drivers for Asus RX 580 8GB.
I’d like to clarify that the WHEA BSOD typically signals a hardware fault, often linked to CPU instability or overheating. However, this only occurs during intensive GPU workloads or games that push the GPU to full capacity. Other tests show normal performance: CPU temperatures stay within safe ranges, and benchmark results are stable.
Storage was reinstalled via the built-in reset tool on a USB drive, and no issues arose. The GPU behaves differently depending on the model—RTX 2080Ti runs smoothly for short periods, while the RX 580 8GB causes immediate crashes within seconds of launching certain games. I’ve also checked various PCIe power cables and RAM configurations, but nothing changed the behavior.
The problem seems tied specifically to benchmarking or gaming scenarios, not everyday usage. I’m seeking advice on why these specific conditions trigger the error and how to resolve it. Thanks for your help!
The PC functions normally for web browsing, coding, and light gaming. However, when demanding tasks load, it instantly crashes. I've also experimented with lowering the core and memory speeds to -200Mhz on my 2080Ti and RX 580, but the issue persists. Another observation is that after each BSOD, Windows settings appear to reset automatically. I disabled UAC because it prompts for permission every time I open MSI Afterburner, but after a BSOD it returns to the default settings. Additionally, crashing only occurs when GPU usage reaches 100%; limiting FPS to 30 in PUBG keeps GPU usage near 20% without interruptions. Most tasks remain unaffected except gaming.
I've run DDU in safe mode during graphics card and driver updates. No changes affected my problem. This is really strange...
I will remove the motherboard and check it while it's not in the case. Yes, I've also done a new Windows install using a USB drive. I'm starting to think the issue might be with the motherboard or power supply unit, but I'm hoping it's just the motherboard since I'm running out of ideas.
Interesting developments have occurred recently. The CPU now runs without the Cablemod PSU extensions, while the GPU remains on the motherboard. The board has been taken out of its case and placed directly on the packaging box. All other drives have been removed except for two M.2 slots on the motherboard. The W10 was reinstalled via USB, and the Uniginw Heaven benchmark is currently running for over 30 minutes.
It might be due to faulty cables or a placebo effect. When problems recur, attempt to install Windows while offline and disable automatic driver setup at startup. Keep all components installed offline and turn off automatic driver installation. Additionally, explore using a different BIOS setting for your motherboard.
