Question PC crashes when two GPS units are connected.
I am new to this forum. I recently upgraded my PC, adding a second GPU – a 1080 Ti – after using a GeForce 1070 for several years. As a graphic designer, I use both cards for rendering, and they functioned well together for approximately two months. However, recently, I began experiencing freezes and shutdowns while gaming, primarily when using the 1080 Ti. After testing the card in another system without issues, I determined that removing the 1070 from my motherboard consistently resulted in the same freezing behavior. I can only play games with both cards installed when utilizing the 1070. I am unsure of the cause of this problem and find it frustrating to remove one GPU just to play. Rendering tasks, however, perform without issues despite utilizing both cards simultaneously. Both cards reach similar temperatures during rendering and gaming. I have experimented with various drivers, including older and newer versions, without success. Blizzard games are notably stable, while other titles consistently crash after 1-5 minutes of gameplay. My system specifications include a Ryzen 3900X, 32GB DDR4 RAM at 3200MHz, an X570 Gaming X motherboard, a 1080 Ti, and a 1070. When a game crashes, it typically takes 30-60 seconds for the application to close and return to normal operation without providing error information.
What is the model and manufacture of your power supply unit? What are the temperatures of your central processing unit and graphics card while playing games?
