For anyone who has a similar issue and comes across this thread in the future, I solved it. Turns out that my PCI-E 3.0 riser cable wasn't playing nice with the PCI-E 4.0 GPU. There are a couple of solutions to this, you can either use another GPU to get signal, and set your PCI connection to 3.0 in the BIOS, or get a 4.0 riser (which is what I did). So, lesson learned, PCI-E is backwards compatible, but it seems that risers often aren't.

Hey, I never got a solid answer, but it seems like it was something to do with my motherboard. I upgraded my Motherboard and CPU not long after this and it hasn't done it since. My main theory is something to do with the motherboard (or potentially the CPU) struggling with the data throughput as assets were streamed off the SSD, or something like that. But, again, I have no solid answer to be honest.

I managed to get it going long enough to do a DDU then re-installing the latest NVidia driver. But now, it won't even give me a signal. My original suspicion is that this setup is pushing my 750w PSU to its limit and so the GPU isn't getting enough power.

it was like 1024x768, something like that. I'd screenshot it but I can't get any signal at this point. It only occasionally gives me an image now.

Hey all, I finally got my hands on an RTX 3080 recently and finally got around to installing it in my system, but there are some issues. A little background first, I have a full custom water loop, including a pump/res combo, a 360 rad in the front, a 240 in the top and CPU and GPU blocks. I spent the better part of today battling with my hardline loop just to install the shiny new RTX3080, finally got it there, leak tested and everything. Plugged it in and it refuses to show the proper resolution on my ultrawide monitor, even after installing the Graphics drivers. It does run better on my seconday monitor, just a plain acer 1080p panel, but still has some weird issues where the image just drops out. My full PC specs: Ryzen 9 5900X, RTX3080 (Previously a GTX1070), 32gb RAM, m.2 PCIE Gen3 boot SSD, 1TB SATA SSD, 2TB HDD, Corsair RM750w PSU, plus the custom loop previously mentioned. Now, I suspect I know the issue, but I wanted to run it by the brains trust on this forum before I pull the trigger on buying any more parts. Any advice you could give would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Some new info. Ran a 1 hour long Cinebench, no crashes, not the CPU. Ran a 1 hour long furmark, not the GPU. Already kinda knew that from old testing, but good to confirm. Ok lets load up both to see if the PSU maybe just can't handle both being used heavily. 1 hour long Cinebench and furmark. No crashes. So probably not the PSU truggling for whatever reason. Installed a game on my HDD, played for over an hour, no crashes. There is something about running games off of an SSD that my system doesn't like. So, does that mean the Mobo is dying, or just maybe kinda bad? I'll try a BIOS update and then run games on an SSD again.

Checked RAM for faults, all good. Anti virus is just Windows defender. I have another test I'm going to try later today, I'll report back results then.

Well, still crashed after installing the new standard drivers. I'm starting to think this is my PSU giving up on life.

Cheers, I'll try this. I use GeForce Experience to download my driver's, I'll check what type that uses as well.

Update, can confirm, crashes even without the new drive plugged in.

Yeah, well, the new SSD will have warranty, the rest of the PC is 3.5 years old now so they won't by this point.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 (0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000001e00, 0xfffff806096fb320, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 326fe3ac-18e2-4ceb-9f63-b751f0bb0d25. That's what the error report in the reliability monitor says.

I've already switched out the SATA cable, but I'll try without the new drive plugged in

Nah, it's just a hard crash.

Just checked, W10 is up to date.
