  1. Don't suppose anyone has any idea where I could buy a scale size model of a human eye with an accurately sized lens and retina? Since getting a hold of a real one (for some reason) seems to be quite hard xD This is for a project, pls don't call authorities haha
  2. Hi SpiderMan, sorry for the long wait, a lot of stuff has happened since my last post on this thread. To start off, the ability to game on my computer was reduced further. Originally, I couldn't game in Nvidia Surround for longer than 20-30 minutes but as time went on that time really started decreasing. As of now, all games would crash even outside of Nvidia surround. This was mainly apparent when I tried playing Rainbow six siege on a single monitor, the game would crash after about 30-40 minutes. I noticed in the event viewer I was getting the same error code from the application that I got when I was trying to run games in Nvidia surround. The error always said 'display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered'. I spent a large part of a day talking to Nvidia to see if it was a problem with my display drivers or my GPU. They ran through a lot of different display drivers, DDU's and other tricks to see if I could get this error to go away. After a long period of effort and time I sunk into this, nothing worked and if anything the situation got worse. At the end of my discussion with Nvidia they recommended that I return the GPU since they believe my RTX 3070 was faulty off the production line. The GPU also failed to pass in a '60 minute Graphics card stability test' that Nvidia recommended I run. I borrowed my friends GTX 1070 to test whether or not it was my graphics card or if it was my system that was the source of the issue, and sure enough, the system worked perfectly fine with the GTX 1070 for the 2 hours or so I used it. After doing that as well as Nvidia themselves saying I have a faulty GPU, I requested a return of the GPU to Ebuyer (the original vendor of the GPU) so I could apply for a replacement under warranty. I tried to contact Gigabyte beforehand since they were the ones who made the '4 year warranty' and they refused to replace it and said the original retailer was the only one that could help. I have now since then sent my card back to Ebuyer and they will review the GPU to see if it is faulty. At the time of writing this I have received an email saying they will take 3 tro 5 days to review my GPU for any faults.
  3. Hi, thanks for the response. I understand what you are saying about the PCie gen. The motherboard is in its stock BIOS but I didn't realise an outdated BIOS would have such an impact on the computer. IF you believe that updating the BIOS will fix the problem then I will for sure give it a go. Every time the game crashes it will generally have a slight stutter then freeze after about 2 seconds and then will just C2D. I think my PC is entirely capable of running the pixels in my system, that is particularly apparent based of the high frame rates I achieve when the game isn't freezing.
  4. Do you think my MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max motherboard has anything to do with it. The GPU performance or something (pcie gen maybe?)
  5. So I downloaded GPU-z like u mentioned and played HITMAN (with nvidia surround on but in windowed mode so I could see the GPUI monitor) for a bit while monitoring the 'Board Power usage' (which seemed like the best one to watch since it was the highest wattage out of all of the sensors, assume its the total wattage being used by the GPU). So I noticed it started at around 80w usage and after 5 minutes around 180w usage. (This seems normal to me though). Then when the game inevitably crashes I looked over to see the GPU power usage and noticed no change in wattage other than the massive drop in power usage after the game froze then immediately crashed. CCleaner didn't seem to change much it just cleaned a bit of the computer but I still got the error. After some googling I noticed that the RTX 3090 has 500w power spikes but I saw nothing close to that with my 3070 (I googled this because I had heard the 30 series had power spikes and was concerned maybe it was hitting the upper limit of my PSU. Although I used another PSU calculator and it recommended I use a 444w PSU so this is more evidence to suggest it can't be my PSU.
  6. Well I think I have all the drivers I need. So Im not sure that will be the issue. The drive is quite old but the only large drive I have and i have quite a lot of games although it did still have the same problem when I tried a game on another drive. So even though the drive is slightly dodgy I don't think it would be that either. I might try CCleaner then. If that doesn't work either then Im not sure whats going on and I might have to completely erase windows and reinstall it or something. Would rather not do that. And we are sure it's nothing to do with the power of the PSU and the GPU power spikes? I mean PCpartpicker said the recommended wattage of this PC is 461W so that's why I wouldnt be certain its the PSU either. Thanks for the help SpiderMan!
  7. Just tried GTA 5 (which is on a different HDD to HITMAN) and it still had the same Exception Code 0x80000003
  8. I found this about the HDD health of the HDD that the games are stored on maybe this could be a cause? Only thing is I think this problem still happens when I play games on the other HDD.
  9. I have donwloaded them all but not sure why I would have to install all those drivers, such as RAID drivers and NVME drivers, since I don't have either. I just have 3 normal SATA drives. Im also not sure how to install any of these since they are all weird file formats. Thanks!
  10. So i tried what u mentioned, and i managed to get around 30 minutes of playing HITMAN before the game crashed. I looked at the error and couldn't understand any of it. You might be able to understand this. Let me know if there is something specific in the error I should show you.
