Well I'm pretty certain that resetting the CMOS and turning XMP off hasn't solved the problem. When I got back to my system and woke up my displays, both displays speakers no longer showed up in the list of audio devices. No logs in Event Viewer but all my other audio devices were showing up. Unless this a separate issue that is coincidentally connected to the GPU somehow, I believe this is enough evidence to show that it hasn't fixed the problem. Still no crashes though. I do remember now checking both sticks of memory individually when I first tested them so their not the issue. I could maybe see the power supply causing the issue for the crashes but I can't see how that could disconnect audio devices. The voltages seem normal and it's power draw is normal so how could it affect it?

Apologies for joining an outdated discussion, but I'm dealing with a similar issue with my latest graphics card. Have you ever figured out all this?

As long as you avoid triggering the mods, you should be fine. I consulted an EVGA representative who said my problem likely wasn’t due to the power supply. This narrowed it down to just two parts: the CPU and the motherboard. Since the CPU is usually the least problematic component, I focused on the motherboard. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get an RMA for it, so I had to purchase a new CPU and motherboard—something I probably needed anyway. Four months have passed, and I haven’t faced any issues yet, though I’m not actively checking because I’m hesitant to revisit it. I’m still dealing with the fourth issue (monitor speakers), but I’ve started using headphones more often, which has reduced its impact. I think the monitor cables might be the culprit. I’d be glad to help you with your problem via DMs, as I’m unsure about the consequences of bringing up a topic six months old.
