Ok so weird thing happened today, I did an open bench build, without the riser, and I did not get any random crashes-reboots, looks like my GPU does not like riser cables at all, but I have to use it due to my case layout(mini itx, formd t1). The other PC i tested it also had a riser cable (NZXT H1 2022 version), thats why I got blue screens. So I guess I need a high quality riser, or will it not work at all? I am not sure... The riser I have currently is Louqe's Cobalt riser.

I have contacted them about the issue, hopefully can get an RMA

Yeah I believe my best option is trying to undervolt now..

I got it at begining of December 2020, so I guess I am out of the 3 year warranty period, just barely

I did test this yesterday, and we did not get blue screens, but did see system reboots as well. So I guess the GPU is f'd up somehow... I wonder what is wrong

The last one I got was with the stop code: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. I will test without the riser also, which I can do on the weekend because I have to disassemble my case to install it on the motherboard. Not the first time I had problems with this riser, before it was causing my pc to randomly reboot because there was a contact issue in one of the pins.

Yes I can do that, I will let you know of the results in a day

Hi all, so for a while now my 3 year old RTX 3070 is randomly causing blue screens in my PC. I have narrowed the blue screening issue down to my GPU, since I have tried to run the same games with 3070Ti that I borrowed from a friend, and it did not happen with that. Now I am trying to find out what is wrong with my GPU. I have tried reinsatlling Windows, Updating the BIOS, using DDU to freshly install drivers and nothing worked. The temps hover around 65-70C on GPU and 75C on CPU while in game, so not very high also. I thought of PSU might be the issue, however with a 3070Ti the blue screen did not happen. I can say that every time I play Rust and MW3, it bluescreens, and often on CS2. Below are my specs: R5 5600X + Noctua NH-L12S ASUS B550-I Corsair LPX 32GB Ram EVGA RTX 3070 (Also tried with ASUS TUF 3070Ti and a spare ASUS Dual 3060, had no issues) + Louque Gen4 Riser Cable Corsair SF600 80+ Platinum FormD T1 Mini ITX Case Corsair 980 PRO 1TB

Today I did an open testbench build on top of my Motherboard box, and now I don't get any reboots or something, I think it was really because of the PCIe riser, maybe I have a faulty one.

Lets say thanks to Amazon for making my 3rd world country better lol

Yes I agree with you. Did some more testing, ordered a 750w psu from amazon(cm gold v750 sfx) and the issue still persist, I started a return request for the PSU. But I think it might be because of my riser cable as well, I have the Louqe Cobalt riser, and I have read some comments that a faulty one can lead to random pc restarts, and it is a very common thing. Will do a open test bench setup without the riser tomorrow, and hopefully it works

Also, I do not have another higher wattage PSU at the moment, but I have a RTX 3060 in my htpc, so I will try testing with a 3060, and if it does not shutdown, I guess it is either my GPU or PSU.

I want to mention one last thing, today I have ran Furmark on QHD preset, and I have maxed out the GPU power limit in afterburner(112%), and my 3070 pulled a little over 270 watts. I have also run the CPU burner in the background with 11 threads(PBO enabled), and it pulled another 100 watts, and my system did not shut down. I ran the tests for an hour. After this, would you still says a low wattage PSU could cause this?

Thanks, will also try with another PSU as well

I highly doubt it is because of the PSU, some people even ran 3080 with this PSU with a more power hungry cpu. And I have used the same system for over 2 years, and did not have an issue at all before. I also run my card with an undervolt as well, but it did not work. Here is a video of optimum tech that also pushed me to get the SF600: I haven't tried this before, so will try it this weekend definitely.
