The topic is about Corsair Vengeance, a well-known brand for RAM products.
I set up a Windows installer on a USB drive and executed the process. All partitions were removed, leaving just one unallocated space. The installation proceeded smoothly, copying files, applying updates, and after restarting, it returned to the initial setup menu. This cycle repeated, but I managed to complete it by ejecting the USB during a restart. Further steps required entering my Microsoft account credentials, followed by a BSOD displaying "VIDEO TDR FAILURE" and a crash message. The system rebooted, allowing me to finish the installation. At this point, no drivers or additional updates were installed. The Nvidia control panel lists the driver version as 516.94. I installed Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
I begin to think the motherboard might be the issue. I need to verify if it's still covered under warranty. It seems I can adjust the scaling in Windows from 2560x1440 at 200% to 150% without problems. However, when I tried to switch to the native 5120x1440 resolution, a BSOD appeared with TDR VIDEO FAILURE and nvlddmkm.sys. After restarting, the resolution was set back to 5120x1440 at 150% scaling.
Initially, @firestronk is correct about the MoBo recommendation. You've already spent a lot of time diagnosing issues, far exceeding what I'd expect without physically inspecting and replacing components. My only advice is to switch to a different HDD—consider an SATA SSD or another M.2 slot if available. After that, reinstall Windows with the graphics card removed, then apply updates, and finally test the GPU in the second slot to see how it performs post-installation.
Windows updates mainly fix bugs but don't verify system integrity, so defenders shouldn't detect anything here. In the past, a failing MoBo forced me to troubleshoot SATA ports instead, as my HDD was causing instability. It would temporarily fail and restart multiple times, sometimes returning after each failure. Eventually, I swapped in a new HDD and connected it to slot 1 without issues. That SSD drive lasted about six months before showing signs of failure again, even after changing power connectors and cables.
Updated: Switched to a new m.2 drive. Initial troubleshooting steps helped. Provided all hardware details for testing. No specific mention of 3080 model. Drivers installed successfully multiple times without prior experience. Device manager reports issues with Windows stopping the device (code 43). Nvidia Control Panel shows no GPU detected. Possible driver or compatibility problem.
Hey there! I tried setting up my system with a new CPU, hard drive, and GPU, but the issue kept happening. After swapping my original CPU for this one, it worked perfectly and I could install drivers normally. Eventually, I replaced the 5900X with a 5800x3D and everything functioned fine. To recap: same configuration except the GPU changed. Hope this assists someone else. Reminder: the 5900X still works with the GTX 970 during troubleshooting.
