Unknown GPU failure occurring unexpectedly.
Unknown GPU failure occurring unexpectedly.
Windows 11 Home 64 bit with all recent updates, Ryzen 7 2700, 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 Zotac GTX 1080 Ti, powered by Extreme, latest drivers installed. Reinstalled just to be safe. Corsair CX650 PSU software issues appear around 45 seconds after GPU load, selectively. Running Superposition at medium settings works fine; high causes crashes after ~30 seconds. Time Spy starts without issues, Night Scout seems okay. Games like Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, Bioshock Remastered crash under load; lower-end titles like Enter the Gungeon, Fallout 4, and Homeworld 2 Remastered run smoothly. In Event Viewer, the only note is "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered," with a screenshot attached.
Recent motherboard BIOS updates available. Direct AMD chipset driver downloads from the manufacturer.
Did you utilize software to monitor your GPU temperatures? Additionally, attempt reinstalling your GPU drivers using DDU and observe any differences.
I concur with @191x7. Ensure PSP is included in the chipset driver. There was a recent problem where it was absent after an update—consider using DDU in safe mode.
Disable XMP settings since your RAM isn’t performing well with Ryzen, which probably explains the problem
Thanks for your feedback. I confirmed the chipset was updated to PSP, disabled XMPP, and tried running DDU in safe mode. The issue persists—especially with more demanding tasks like Superposition, which crashes even on medium settings. It seems the problem might lie with the PSU rather than the GPU, given the older power supply you have. While your build isn’t top-of-the-line, it should handle the workload if it’s adequately powered.
Consider testing another PSU if possible, but downloading HWinfo and monitoring GPU temperatures is recommended. A 1080Ti may be nearing the end of its life and could require a refurbishment or cooling fixes. It's a useful step to verify before swapping parts.
