Not sure... given both horizontal and vertical stripes there's also a chance it's the monitor. Some bad contact that solves when after a few minutes of warming up. Maybe try another cable and or device to see if it's the monitor or the gpu.

Hard to say without pictures. But most likely that fan in a odd position and orientation just causes turbulence in the case instead of flow, causing more internal recirculation. Also, gpu fans suck air into the cards cooler, so any fan should blow at the card, not suck air away from the gpu's own intake fans (that would also rocket temps).

Yes it can. Since it's non conductive, it can prevent proper contact if in-between the cpu and the socket for one or more pins for example. To much paste "on top" of the ihs, or even splattered around the pcb is OK. But not on sockets (cpu, ram dimms) or connectors; that can prevent contact et-all, or form a resistor or even some slight capacitance etc. That can do bad / weird things to signals.

Might be a bad contact on the board, which could also explain it working in a different machine (the board being handled, under different tension in slot, different ambient temp, different tension from power cables). Could try what the above poster said, since it could be any component/contact, you might get lucky. To see a example of intermittent error 43 and repair:

M.2 could be sata or nvme, not knowing which it is ill just list a few bios options for both, and sounds like legacy install perhaps. Note that some might be named different or n/a depending on the mobo. PCH, sata mode : AHCI Launch CSM: enable Fast boot: disable Boot device control: UEFI and legacy Boot from storage: legacy first Boot from pcie: legacy first Note that (like when uefi install) you might need diff settings but these are a few to fiddle with. Hope you get it booting again

Tomahawk x570, only spins when needed (I actually thought this was pretty much standard for x570 boards?), which I find in 2 cases: heavy i/o on multiple ssds at once, or when ambient in the case rises significantly, like when gaming or ml learning for some time. In either case, it never bothered me, don't notice it over gpu or casefans.

Is it a 3000 series RTX gpu? As this is relatively common with some ryzen mobo/ 3000 rtx gpu combos. I'm on tomahawk x570 which does 4 short beeps only with my 3090, but doesn't with my old 2060. Works fine though. Some say bios update of mobo, or updated vbios helped but I never bothered as it works fine. Your case might have a different cause though

Try to clear the drivers shadercache , especially when having changed settings a lot. Can't tell you how since that changes all the time, try to Google for it but be carefull to look at the dates of what is posted cause again: how to do it has often changed. Note that if the shader cache is cleared you'll likely notice 1st time load of game/level might take longer than usual (might depend on overall system speed though, so you might or might not notice).

It's set to private, so can't look at the suspect list

This sounds like possibly a malicious process that uses 100% gpu which attempts to go unnoticed by hiding/stopping itself if taskmanager is opened. I've been on linux for while now so my knowledge on alternative ways (beyond taskman) of inspecting processes and their resource use is rusty when it comes to windows, hopefully other kind souls can advice on that (and perhaps good malware scanner).

Yeah as the log suggests unlikely a hardware fault. Remembers me of a time where I had issues with my 2060 few years back; Nvidia drivers being "iffy". Could try going back one driver version if the issues are recent. And do note ddu itself can be "iffy" as well, haven't used it in ages but thought is should be run as administrator and required a restart (but again long time ago so don't quote me on that). Perhaps ask a mod to move the topic to graphics cards or to troubleshooting as at this time it seems unrelated to the psu; that could improve odds of getting more responses. Hope you work it out soon!

Should be enough, and those are good units, I'm running RMx 850 with 3900x and 3090, never had a restart or CTD.

Red light means no or insufficient power to gpu so doing as the above poster said should resolve the issue. Edit: crossed the "already fixed" above. Congrats on OP

Hi, The 3060 should be about 3x to 4x faster in Cuda compute performance, so expected on the m40 would be approx 12m give or take. It might depend on the model / operation structure though, if there's a lot of Cuda synchronize involved (vram vs ram sync transfers) the numbers can skew if the cards perform differently in that respect. The 3060 might benefit from its higher pcie rating for these transfers. Note that this is somewhat educated guessing and not gospel, but you could try some different nets to see if those compare closer to the 3x to 4x difference. If they do, the m40 is doing fine. Turn back on ecc it's one of the cards perks especially 24gb of it
