Question Please help… MSI RTX 4070 “Super-Crash” Gaming X Slim
I have experienced continuous problems since upgrading my graphics card. Could you offer some advice? My setup includes a MAG B550 Tomahawk Max Wifi, Ryzen 7 5700x, G.Skill 3600mhz CL16 RAM, an MSI RTX 4070 Super Gaming x Slim from the RX 6700XT Mech x2, a Seasonic Focus 850W 80+ Gold PSU, an MSI MPG Coreliqid 240 CPU cooler, two NVMe drives, two 2.5 ssd drives, and a 3.5 HHD monitor. The monitor is an MPG 34 ultrawide HDR OLED. Since switching to the 4070 Super, I've faced constant crashes, black screens, freezing, and an overall frustrating experience. Initially, I was very enthusiastic until issues began. I performed a clean install of Windows 11 Pro and updated the latest game drivers after removing all previous graphics drivers. Despite trying everything—disabling g-Sync, turning off HDR, adjusting PCIE bios to auto, reverting the NVIDIA driver to version 566.36, disabling CPU game booster and XMP profiles, and lowering the refresh rate from 240hz to 120hz—I still didn’t see any improvement. Now I’m considering returning the card and sticking with my RX 6700XT, which has never caused such problems. If anyone has suggestions or guidance to fix this card, I’d really appreciate it. All advertised features are underutilized except for basic tasks and video watching.
Verify that the power is connected properly at both connections. What method are you using to insert the 12VHPWR plug?
3 distinct 8-pin PCIe cables, each with a daisy-chained end secured by a zip tie, currently unused.
I also made sure to refresh my bios with the latest update for my motherboard, along with the mflash.
