OK, thanks for the info. If I understand you correctly, the only way I will be able to get to 2510MHz (-100MHz from the default) would be to power limit the card? I would do that by setting the power target slider to maybe like 80%? I have already tried setting that to 80% before and it still crashed. I was mainly worried that something was causing my card to overclock too much (I thought 2610MHz was the max I should be seeing).

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough in my post, but I want to underclock because someone recommended trying this to resolve an issue with my graphics card crashing. They recommended lowering it by 100MHz. It's just a test to see if it will still crash. I still don't know why it's running at 2820MHz and why moving the boost clock speed slider lower by -130MHz has no effect.

Thanks for your response. So I actually need to mess with the voltage to get a lower clock speed? Also, do you know if it's normal for my card to be running at 2820MHz without any overclocking?

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with my Asus ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC edition crashing and it was recommended I try to underclock it. I downloaded Asus GPU Tweak III and moved the "GPU Boost Clock" slider to the left to about -130 MHz yet I'm still getting clock speeds not only higher than that, but also about +200MHz higher than the default of 2610MHz. Can someone explain what is going on here and if this is normal? I'm worried something is causing my card to OC when I actually want to underclock it.

I'll certainly try that, but I'm not sure how. Do I change the PCIe configuration to 8x in the BIOS? If so, where would I find that setting?

I tested the other vBIOS that you can toggle to with the Quiet or Performance mode switch on the top of the card and unfortunately I was still getting this error. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I've added it to the growing list of troubleshooting steps I've tried.

Yes, I have tried running on an older driver that was working for me before I started having this issue.

Thanks for analyzing those .dmp files for me. It does seem like the crash is more software related, but I've done DDU and even completely uninstalled/reinstalled everything with a clean Windows 11 install and the problem still persists. It's really strange. I will take up your suggestion to update my mobo BIOS even though I have no experience doing that before.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I am still having the issue after using DDU to uninstall the drivers and I have tried both installing new drivers and reinstalling older drivers that used to work for me. In fact, I only started having this problem after 531.79.

Thanks again for your help. I have already updated the BIOS of the video card and the problem still persists. Are you suggesting I try updating the motherboard BIOS?

Sorry about that. I've attached them here. I really appreciate you looking into this for me. 060523-11109-01.dmp 061123-13375-01.dmp

Sorry to hear you are dealing with this issue too. It's really frustrating and from my research it seems like many other 4090 users have the error: https://www.overclock.net/threads/massive-rtx-4090-problems-driver-or-hardware.1801381/page-65 If you haven't already, you might try some of the troubleshooting steps that I have already tried because these are all things that people on other forums have said worked for them. Unfortunately, it's my understanding that this EventViewer error code/message basically just means something wrong happened with the GPU and could be indicative of any number of issues. If you do find some kind of resolution, please do let me know.

Certainly, here are the links to those. Hopefully they contain some useful info because I am totally stumped on this.

My apologies for the confusion. Here is the link to my PC specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/DYNPxr

Thanks for your response. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by how it is wired. I'm using the "CableMod RT-Series Pro ModFlex Sleeved 12VHPWR Cable Kit for ASUS and Seasonic with the 16-pin to 4 x 8-pin PCI-e Cable." I have had no issues with this for 6 months. I have not tried to toggle that switch from performance to quiet mode, but I will try that. I was under the impression that only changed the fan profile.
