BSOD occurring frequently

[petex8989]

a few days ago, my computer would BSOD whenever playing battlefield 5, and I thought it was just an issue with the game, and not hardware. I had an issue similar to this one before, but that turned out to be faulty ram, which I have since rma'd. The first thing I tested was the ram, with memtest86, but there were no errors found this time. So I uninstalled the game, and did a bunch of troubleshooting, ending up with me doing a system restore. After I reinstalled everything, I was still getting this issue, but I noticed that when I turned the power limit on my overclocking software (precision x1) down to 50%, i wouldnt get this issue, but as soon as i turned it up and ran the game, I would get BSOD'd pretty quickly. I assumed that the power delivery was faulty on my card, as I'd very recently gotten the card with EVGA's stepup program, and the problem started a few days after receiving it. When on call with EVGA support, they told me to check with another card to see if the issue persisted, so I put a 1050 inside my system, but then I got BSOD looped. When replacing it back to the 2080, it booted up normally. So then, since i recently reinstalled windows, decided to reinstall while the 1050 was inside the system, but it gave me many error codes, and wouldnt install windows. I then installed windows successfully with the 2080 inside the system. Then, when it was installed, i put the 1050 to test it out again. It booted up this time, but just in the desktop screen, with nothing running, after 5 or so minutes, it would BSOD. It was clear to me then that my 2080 was not at fault. I tried putting the 1050 inside the second pci-e slot, and it would still BSOD. Ive come down to either the motherboard, or the PSU being faulty. Does anyone know anything about what might be happening?

Well, it's easier to troubleshoot a dead PSU than a mobo, best bet is to sit down with your PSU manual, a jumper pin and a multimeter and check all your PSU leads for the correct power. If everything checks out, then go after mobo

Dude, I don't know I mean maybe uncle billy is mad at you ?  Are you using his latest OS ? Just ask Cortana for the answer to this no ? or no ? .........  That is what you get when you buy a EVGA PSU lol.  EVGA came into the field of nvidia video cards and that is it.  They sold video cards only.  Now PSU's and other sh*T ...... if you think PSU is at fault your probably right.  Next time make a smarter decision, but I will let it slide this time.  good luck.  I still dont know wtf your doing with a 1050 when you have a 2080 ... go play a game with the 2080 instead of faking around with this pos 1050 .................. man.

Called evga support, and they confirmed it was the psu. In bios, the 12v was fluctuating up and down.
