I did. I think the card is just defective... I tried using another GPU and it works flawlessly. Gotta send it back to MSI...

Update: did a clean install of Windows 10, still same problem

No, that's an old PC. My current PC: i7 9700K 32GB RAM Asus Z390-PLUS Gaming MSI RTX 2080 Sea Hawk X

I have a Corsair RM750, and yes

How can I make sure of that? -edit that's another thing. The voltage is also the same, on idle and under load. 0.725 V.

My RTX 2080 is stuck at a clock rate of 300 Mhz, no matter what I do. Under load, the usage goes up to 99% and the mem clock goes up like normal, but the temperature and core clock stays the same. I tried OCing with MSI Afterburner, clean installing the drivers with DDU in safe mode and reinstalling, and flashing another BIOS. The next thing I was gonna try was clean reinstalling Windows. I just got this card back from MSI. I originally RMAd my 1080ti because it started artifacting, and they sent me this 2080 as a replacement a few months ago. When I got it, I was experiencing the same problems I am now, so I sent it back for RMA, but they sent me the exact same card back. Any ideas?

Update: Did not want to revive an old thread, but I wanted to provide what fixed my issue just in case anyone in the future looks at this thread to try to fix this or a similar problem. Good luck! The problem seems to be fixed. What I did was I first wanted to identify if it was a hardware or software problem. I tried formatting my drive and clean installing Windows. That did nothing, so I knew it was a hardware issue. I then removed the GPU and the RAM. I thought it was highly unlikely that it was the CPU, so I didn't bother with it. I made sure all the power cables were fitted correctly, both on the motherboard and the PSU side. Re-seated all the other cables on the mobo, just in case. Put everything back together, and issue is fixed. Has not rebooted since. If I had to guess, I think one of the power cables just came loose during the road trip.

I just have 1 m.2 SSD on the back of the mobo, and no I never took it out.

I did just move about 800 miles and took my PC with me on my car. However I made sure the PC would take the transport as best it could. I removed the GPU and CPU cooler before putting it in my car, and separated them. Before the move, the PC was totally fine. Basically what is happening is that at times, the PC freezes for about 2 seconds and then restarts. No blue screen. And every time it happens, it's within about 30 seconds of Windows booting. I already tried updating the Bios, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, and turning off the overclocks. Already checked temperatures on idle and gaming, they're all good. Any ideas? Was thinking about possibly reinstalling Windows. i7 7700K Team Vulcan 16GB RAM Asus Z270i GTX 1080 Ti

Using a Dell S2716DG, and set my color settings on the monitor and Nvidia Control Panel. When the system starts, it starts on those color settings, but resets to the default for some reason. Tried uninstalling and re-installing Nvidia drivers, factory resetting the settings on the monitor, searched for a solution online, nothing. Any ideas?

While gaming, CPU usually hovers around 65c and GPU, if the game is really demanding, around 78-80c

Lately I've been itching to add 2 140mm fans at the top. Currently have a 200mm in the front, and the 2 140mm for the Noctua NH-D15. Would the 2 fans at the top make any kind of impact? Currently already have positive air pressure.

Well, replaced the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5, and problem solved. 15°C reduced on average across the board. Also, the screws on the back were a bit loose, don't know if that contributed too. That begs the question though... I've had the GPU for roughly 7 months. How does the thermal paste go bad that quick?

PSU fan is facing down, and most of the time I was playing, I was worrying about the GPU temps and my room getting uncomfortably hot
