Strange 1080 behaviour

[Irixion]

Some background information first. My Windows 10 install originally has had its hayday. I was having many issues, lockups, Windows updates not installing, etc. Years of Windows updates, along with graphics card changes (Onboard -> R9 270 -> GTX 1060 -> GTX 1080).

 

My Strix 1080 is acting a bit odd. I can run benchmarks just fine, (Heaven), put it through the ringer, have temperatures all the way up in the 70s, and everything holds fine. However, if I try to play any game, (through Steam), the application flat out locks up, crashes, or just vanishes like it was never running. I chalked this behaviour to be because of my incredibly atrocious Windows 10 install. I just reinstalled Windows 10. All of the previous Windows quirks are gone, but this one remains. Everything is up to date. I've tried reseating the card but to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or how I could further troubleshoot this?

 

Edit: No it is not overclocked, and temperatures are range from, 50s to low 70s when it crashes.

 

Thank you kindly

use ddu to fully reinstall your drivers

also try reinstalling your directx 

also is it only the app that locks up/crashes? are there error messages? at startup or during play>?

if it persists it may be an issue with the card itself

So I just tried that--No dice. Any 3D game crashes anywhere from shortly after starting, or 10 minutes. There are no error messages other than the usual "This Application Is Not Responding", though, like I said in my original post, sometimes it doesn't even show that and goes straight to the desktop.

It might be the Steam install although that's very odd. Is it any game that you try? It could also be a corrupt file, although at this point it is hard to tell.

[Irixion]

It's every game. Batman, Evil Within, I've checked integrity of all the files, it's even for non-Steam titles

So you’re running the benchmarks in full screen as well right?

Yes. FurMark, Heaven all in full screen, 2560x1080, on the highest presets. Could be running them for a few hours with no stability issues

The board have another slot to try?

Have you tried stress testing your CPU and RAM? I had a similar issue with rainbow 6 Siege and after a lot of troubleshooting i pinpointed the timing for my ram being off, backed it back to all stock and reseated and it solved it

So I've just ran AIDA64's GPU, CPU and RAM stress tests for 30 minutes and I've had no issues. This is perplexing : /

So did the all cores of the cpu and the gpu sit at 100% while doing that?

Yes. I ran a stress test with AIDA64 and FurMark at the same time for an hour. Everything was fine.
