@VisheraWill do that later,i also will flash my bios if they'res an update since i plugged a 4090 and the new mainboard may not be most up2date. But before: I also have a Surge Protector and a 2 PC Streaming-setup. I also tested them seperately without an Capture Card connected. Now my other, always been fine PC, freezes too without Artifacts. Could it be my Surge Protector die-ing?

Now it does crash again, but without Artifacts. I fully configured a brand new PC. Everything brand new. Hard Drives aswell. Everything new. I also have a Surge Protector in place. It crashed with EventID14 on nvlddmkm.dll again within 2 seconds by simply opening Steam and having a Vid autplay /: @Vishera

Sadge, alrdy thought so /: had hope since the error manifested different on driver changes :x i also have had this as artifacts now. And the randomly failed memtest86 can't be a cause? Or still bad drivers? f.e. i have no nvlddmkm.dll in my sys32/drivers whatsoever, its deep buried in some C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nvmii.inf_amd64_51d44270251c8f74\ Tomorrow i might try the 2nd GPU slot, new parts for complete new setup on the way but i still want to salvage whats working as intended.

This could very well be another component making the GPU time out, no? At this point it is definetly no Software/Driver-Error atleast I also edited the post further after u answered & included more informations etc.

Hey there! Thank you for stopping by here. First of all, i wanna say, the error always manifests the same ways. I play a game, it freezes, blackscreens out, i still hear all Audio coming in and the sound from the inputs i do. Then, my display driver resets, crashing the running game, maybe even freezing my Computer. My System: At first, my games crashed and event-view only ALWAYS showed Internet research lead me to believe it may be faulty drivers so i fully wiped windows clean off, installed all anew with stuff like OBS, f.lux etc and the error changed. The dmp basically just denotes Then i proceeded to install windows once a new, with older drivers, manually installed, all fetched from manifacturer sourc & steps done listed at the very bottom Now it arises without any .dmp, bugcheck or anything. It doesnt crash right away and give me sunburst artifact and then freezes while audio still playing. Before it just blackscreened out, now it got those artifacts + those event entrys. Stuff i tried so far: - Ran Memtest86 multiple times, failed once on a stick which i then didnt use but problems still stuck around - Installed Windows twice - once as usaul with discord etc and automatic driver install - once with manual drivers, no discord etc - Now with the cleaneast Windows and manual Drivers and still crashing, a single confirmed workign RAM-Stick - DDU away all drivers once more in windows safe mode etc - reinstalled them handpicked once more - made sure Resizable BAR is deactivated in BIOS - XMP is deactivated, RAM Speed is on AUTO - Underclocked GPU many ways - Disabled Hardware Acceleration in Browsers - Power management thingy for PCI stuff - PhysX and generally all graphic apps are not on auto but directly pointed to GPU - CHKDSK, DISM and SFC all ran fine - minidumps are now activated so i can show u more than screenshots when some is produced (it was 1,4gig before xd) - Power settings are at maximum - Increase 2d mode gpu frequence and/or avoid automatic lowering of gpu frequence - flashed & updated BIOS I would say its the GPU dying, but getting different errors in old dirty and clean new environment + always manifestating different make me unsure. The Artifact Screenshot makes me think its the GPU tho. Graphics exception on gpc 3: 3d-z kind violation - sounds hella weird and GPU related tho XD its not googabe tho, whats a 3d-z kind violation?

Okay, thats another calibre Faisal ? Literally the same experience Vishera, also were too lazy all the time. So i guess then im going to upgrade. I wanted to upgrade generally anytime soon -- potential boards with m.2 insight. Moved question to another topic.

I did, but i wonder in how far it impacted me and generally i just wanted to share that. My PC hang-up while copying this File and using snippingtool to "snip" the performance in a picture. Gaming is usually fine, im used to loadtimes. Im also used to waiting long times for Filetransfer. My PC isnt thaaaat good tho, I never experienced any faster drive, so i cant tell if my Machine is the problem or my drive. AMD FX6300 6 Cores @3,5GHz AMD Radeon RX560 4GB 8GB DDR-1666 G.SKILL ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 -- Edit: That sounds like an good idea tho Raining. Now as i realized that and hearing opinions i feel dumb to never went upgrading that part of my rig. Can i move my topic then on my own to the relating sub-froum?

Hey, i just curiously noticed when benchmarking my system on a yearly base, that i never had benchmarked my Storage-Drive. Then, i remember... In a long-time span, maybe 10years, i upgraded my Rig three times, but never my one-and-only storage drive. My System is on a internal partition C, my Stuff on E. I have another UEFI-bootpartition aswell (200mb). 33024 Hours = 1376 Days 1376 Days = 3,76 years = 3 years 9 months 11 days RUNTIME. HOLY. Related data to this drive is relatively new because it got rebranded. Thats the performance of her while copying the ISO-File for Ubuntu from Partition E to C. When using Windows10-SnippingTool from the Notification widget, my pc hang up and recovered when the transfer was finished ;DD Thats how she looks. I wonder how much potential for a bottleneck that hard-drive is. Oh and it fullfilly some rulements specially for Canada! I just wanted to share that. I feel somehow dumb to just "trash" this in here, but i really really wanted to share that in any ways. ?

Yep, same. And even another heat-source like maybe the mentioned fanhub of the stopped-working frontside fans cant be anywhere near a problem. I actually have aAMD FX8350 Stock-Cooler here and i went to burn it with a lighter. 1 Second of direct heating with a ~900°C Flame: Nothing. 2 Seconds of direct heating with a ~900°C Flame: Getting Shiny and starting melting Which kinda makes sense. Overall its plastic and its a PC-Component so its DEFINETLY NOT going to melt at anything BELOW 130°C, which im 100% sure about. So in each mindable case my CPU should have gotten into thermal shutdown before it could have anywhere started melting i guess? I have a new theory: Maybe the Blades of the CPUFan has de-synced rotation and so on it scratches against the chassis, putting up friction and in the end heat, resulting in small particles which are definetly more treated by a decent amoutn of heat than a solid big piece. But then still, when it gets so hot its able to drip down on my GraphicsCard and starting melting into the heatsink... Why the hell my CPU didnt went thermal shutdown then? There had to be a big amount of heat in a decent period of time which should have molten my CPU aswell... im so clueless

Unfortunately i dont have any pictures of it and i already scratched out those molten parts with a knife for a temporary solution and not harming the fan-blades anymore. But i can try to describe the look as close as possible. The Fan with the Chassic and the Heatsink in front of you. The blades of the fan rotate along the inside of the chassis. The front edges of that, which is now facing to you, started melting into the inside-chassis where now molten-and-settled plastic now rugging against the fan-blades. You clearyl notice its plastic, its the same color as the plastic of the chassis but its a bit shinier and a droplet is hanging of it, like a water droplet which wants to fall down. When you put on a flashlight and have a clooser look, you also see the layers of the heatsink has been "welded" together with some of the now settled plastic.

No clue of how id be able to cut up things of the text. I really hate small topics with less text and nearly no information, but to be honest, yes i wrote a book and thats not cool either, i guess

Sorry for the not clear said part of what melted. It was the Plastic of the Chassic from my CPU fan, it melted so the blades of the Fan rugging against the molten chassis-outlines. Oh and also sorry for my most likely bad english or unclear words as im a native german and talking over tech in English when never done is really hard but kinda fun.

Hello over there, im really sad and clueless right now and dont know with who to speak, so i reach out to the Forums made my the mighty Linus, who helped me over several years with nice content. But this case i now experiencing, ive probably never heard off. So, in before here are my Technical pecifications: Power Unit: Thermaltake Hamburg 530W (Model: W0392RE) Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX560 Saphire Pulse OC - 4GB -GDDR5 - with Polaris 21 XT (Baffin XT) "GCN Gen4" Chipset - Frequenzy 1175MHz - Boost: 1300MHz - 128bit Motherboard: ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 CPU: AMD FX6300 - Six Cores @3,5GHz turbos up to 3,8GHz - L3 Cache 8MB - AM3+ - 6 Threads Chassis: Sharkoon VGW-5 - Backside Fans: 2x 120-mm-LED-Lüfter, Frontside 1x 120-mm-LED-Lüfter Okay so theres a reason why i linked my Chassic to Amazon, so you can have a closer look to it. So im running this Rig now for about 2years, im used to clean up my PC from bottom-to-top and also my Drives atleast once a month. The last months i subtly felt a change in the amount of FPS im getting and also in performance and especially in noise, but i decided to just cleanup my system itself and wait for my monthly cleanage day to have a forther look into. When i went for my monthly cleanage inside with compressed air i noticed something, which left me clueless. Im not used to monitor my temperatures a long time but i can definetly say my temperatures are nowhere near to hot. But heres the thing: A part of the Plastic of the Stock-cooler from the AMD-FX6300 melted from outside to inside. On the heatplates and pipes is molten plastic, something even dripped down on my graphics card. My Frontside-Chassic FANs seemed to stop working at some point, they were plugged in but not spinning at all,which i were just able to see because i popped out the foamy front-filters to wash them. Each Fan-Hub from the frontones were incredibly hot, so hot i managed to burn myself at a decent degree. From my wound i guess it had atleast 100°C on the Frontchassis-Fanhubs and also they werent spinning. (i guess that caused the heat on the hubs).So from there on, theres no anywhere closely smored or burned cable so i guess you pretty much can say luckily this happened to the front ones and theres a possibility that no damage were caused by this extremely hot Front-Side Chassic-Fanhubs. (The back one with that heat right beside my CPU-Fan would have molten more i guess). But for my Airflow in the Chassic the Front ones pull air into the system while the backone pulls it out. So the heat coming up from the Frontside fanhubs werent taken by the airflow into my system because these fans would normaly push air into my system. The thermal pads on the MoBo are still fine and intact aswell. But you can say they definetly brought up more hot air into the Chassis itself and it also distorted the whole airflow of my system when the two frontside fans stopped working. When i now ran several benchmarks, started 6 Games on Steam at the same time while playing one of them (CSGO) in a total time-window of 1 Hour, everything seemed fine. So in the results i firstly notice my Mainboard Temperature Sensor #2 is missing and is also not a hidden sensor, so it seems to be not working. The MB Temperature Sensor #3 sends back a high temperature of 70°C which i kinda guess is a sensor located near the CPU. My CPU reached highest max Temp of 70°C with a max clock of 3,5GHz so it didnt used his turbo. The AMD FX6300 is advertised with max temperatures of 70,5°C. The CPU Load total to this point were already nearly maxed out with 96,4%, while my Graphiccard also reached a Load of nearly maxed out 99% while reaching 80°C max. Fan #2, which is my AMD-CPU-Stockcooler with his shityy Fan reached a total of 4532 RPM and blasts out a noise reaching 60Dezibels and more,which arent actually a problem (i dont hear them under headphones but it still sucks) So from all those results i can see my RIG is well balanced, nothing is bottlenecking and my temperatures are pretty... OK'ish for the fact the Rig is running with just a Backside Fan, an open front without fans and filters, just a metal-mesh and an Stock AMD Cooler. My RIG never settled any dust tho, so from theres no point of possibility as a error-source. Could the stopped working Frontside-Chassis Fans may produced that much heat that my CPU-Fanchassic could be molten from that? Exactly 1cm near the top-frontside chassis-fan is my HDD drive which still functions fine and also my CD-reader which also works still fine and all cables are still top notch. My perspective of what could be the thing here: So, the Frontside-Chassis Fans stopped working without me noticing (they were hidden behind a metal-mesh with a foamy filter adapted to it. The Fanhubs were still receiving electric signals but the blades werent able to rotate from whatever reason. This heated up the fanhubs extremely till a point where it was highest possible temperature for the fanhub based on the incoming voltage. As i dont see any damage at cables or even my HDD right above it, i dont guess this heat alone had done any damage on my components. But what it did, it definetly increased my overall temperatures so my Fans had to spin harder which produced the noise-increase i noticed. As my CPU-temperature is also shown in my ASrock XTreme Tuning Utility i always since i had this RIG looked on to CPU-temperatues atleast once a week and from back then till today i never saw anything higher than 73°C EVEN when my Frontside fans already stopped working and i already felt the decrease of performance. But even with this Fact i never noticed any higher temperatures on my CPU itself. I guess the temperature in my chassis just got balance out by the other fans just spinning faster but producing more noise. But what in the hell could be the reason here for my molten cpu-fan-chassic? its not totally molten, its still holding in place and working, still spinning and cooling. Just the inner edges seemed to be molten into the inside so the blades rugged against the plastic, which were also a reason for a partially higher noise-level. Yesterday i cleaned everything up, took out the 2 frontside chassis fans, took a knife and grabbed out the CPU-heatsink, sliced of the molten-plastic edges and drips around the CPU-Fan and the heatpipes and placed everything back. Lower noise-level, same temperatures, which kinda makes sense when using a Fan-Speed-Controller. Yes, i could buy a new Fan and stuff but this system is barely used and can handle 6 Steamgames running at the same time while playing CSGO with a ok'ish amount of FPS aswell, so the system is fine as it is. But i still wanna know how the Fan-Chassic could started melting to remove the error-source and be able to use this rig sometimes again without further minding setting my house on fire. Oh and if you cant participate solving my mystery i'd really appreciate if you can still leave a comment and rate the temperatures shown in the OHWM. In my opinion, max of 70°C at the CPU, 80°C at the GPU and 36°C on MB-Sensor#1 seems to me like near-border temperatures which are fine if they dont go higher as now. And if i cant solve this mystery, i guess i just go ahead and replace the AMD-CPU Stock cooler, which i should have done on Day1 and buy 2 new frontside-fans. This should help bring back temperatures to a more good area.
