Hi Everyone, I just upgraded my entire system. Here are the details: Processor – AMD Ryzen 9800X3D; Graphics – Gainward Phantom RTX 5080; Platform – MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk; WiFi – 32GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 6000MHZ; Cooling – Corsair Titan Link 360 AIO; Power Supply – MSI MPG A1000G. From the first boot, it would crash, be very slow, or show a blue screen—either way. After restarting, about 95% of the time it works fine, though sometimes the first or second restart needs another one to fix it. I ran tests like Cinebench and Prime95, all passed. Ran Furmark, checked GPU health, everything normal. During crashes, I checked Event Manager and saw it rebooted after a bugcheck. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Visit C:\Windows\Minidump and verify the presence of any minidump files. If found, return to the Windows directory and transfer the entire Minidump folder to the Downloads folder (use your desktop if OneDrive isn't available). Compress the copied folder and include it in a post. Please adhere strictly to the guidelines provided by Windows.
The latest dumps are stored in the mini dump folder, including minidump.zip.
These suggestions all point to the GPU. Consider using DDU to uninstall the existing driver and install this one. Nvidia's current drivers have caused some problems, so we're trying to eliminate them. If the issue persists, reposition the GPU and its PCIe power cables/12V HPWR. If it still fails, a defective GPU is likely the cause. It would be best to test it on another PC or with a different GPU in that system.
I tried a few changes recently. Updated the motherboard BIOS to the newest release, installed the latest drivers offline, and repositioned the GPU. Still, the same problem occurs—usually only during the first boot, then it functions normally afterward.
