Thank you for your assistance. I've attached another crash file; I've been recording crashes while playing the same game. If this provides a wider perspective, I can share DMP files from other games as well. Or I might just try to play it normally. It still mostly happens during gameplay, though sometimes it triggers a BSOD while watching YouTube. I have a used 1080TI that was borrowed from a friend. Once it arrives, I might be able to decide if I need to return it for repair. 071823-13000-01.zip
I've noticed some issues lately. Several apps crash unexpectedly without any visual cues, and the GPU shows artifacts on my screen. Switching servers on Discord triggers a crash, and I have to end the app in Task Manager afterward. The game I'm playing doesn't cause a crash but stops responding, requiring me to manage it manually. I've seen some articles about Asus Mobo's overvolting components, though I haven't found specifics for my model. I'm planning to switch to Windows 11 to check if that helps. My current approach is: upgrade to Windows 11, replace the 3080 with an older 1080, and handle the RMA and RAM replacement.
It might stem from a disk issue. Windows keeps the page file in memory even if RAM is free, which can cause strange errors. Begin by running chkdsk /r in an elevated prompt to check for problems.
Chkdsk ran without issues. I ran additional tests with Prime95; no problems appeared during the 15-minute stress test, covering CPU mode, RAM, and CPU separately. Just before testing, my computer shut down completely while gaming, as if power was interrupted. It restarted on its own, but no minidump file was saved. In the event viewer, only "Unexpected shut down" appeared. I’m currently downloading Windows 11 to check if that helps. I’m skeptical, but it’s worth trying. My RAM and CPU handled heavy loads during gaming without issues, so I suspect a driver problem, registry error, or GPU malfunction. I’ve completely reinstalled my GPU drivers, but Nvidia’s site blocked the installation due to a corrupted download file. I’ve tried multiple browsers without success. For uninstalling, should I use GeForce Experience instead of right-clicking in Device Manager? P.S.: When installing Windows 11, I receive error code 0xc0000005, indicating a disk partition issue. PPS: The previous error was caused by a delayed driver update and restart. Restarted, but now I see error 0x80070570.
Save DDU, begin in safe mode and employ DDU to remove the drivers. Reboot and reinstall.
I think I can eliminate my GPU. In a panic I turned on CPU-C states and the system would crash during Windows boot. I switched it off once more and it started working properly. I tried resetting w10 to its default settings but the installer kept failing. I plan to wipe the D drive, remove the C drive, and install Windows on the D drive using a thumb drive. This will help determine if the issue lies with my SSD. The previous GPU is likely still functional, so I can check for clues beyond that. I also have an older PSU in my earlier build that I can replace. If everything proceeds smoothly (or encounters similar problems), we’ll be left with the motherboard, RAM, and CPU. Edit: Added DMP file for BSOD when CPU-C was active. 071923-6171-01.zip
I encountered a problem believing disabling C states resolved an issue, thinking it was related to RAM timings and speeds. It turned out my RAM settings were the real cause. I had to go back to the default configuration for stability. Please verify your board or GPU power connections—make sure no pins are accidentally pressed inside the connectors.
I just finished reinstalling W10 again. I'm downloading the game that usually leads to the most crashes for testing. After some tweaking, I plan to turn off XMP and enable CPU-C states. I haven't adjusted my RAM speeds or timings, but I think Asus's "Ai tweaker" in the BIOS might have made a few changes. I've inspected all connectors, even removed the CPU to check the pins. On the hardware side, I haven't started taking off the heatsinks or plastic parts to examine the board. Thanks to all the advice I've received—I know disabling CPU-C states addresses symptoms, not the root cause.
New windows setup complete. All drivers current, everything looks good. Game installed, started in "World," but got an immediate BSOD. Now I’m stuck deciding between RAM or a CPU upgrade. Extremely frustrated. 071923-16515-01.zip
