[help me ] Graphics driver keeps crashing

[AnduDahaka]

Graphics driver keeps crashing

TL;DR Brand new pc , brand new windows install , bios , drivers etc. Just before the video crashes , sound goes robotic and screen blinks off and on .

 

So let me list the parts that i`ve got

Mother board Asus ROG Maximus Hero X

CPU Intel CORE I7-9700K

GPU EVGA Gforce 1080 Ti FTW3

Ram Corsair Vengence 16 gb

PSU  EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 80+ PLATINUM, 1200W

 

All runs at stock power , no OC.

I have install new windows , all the up-to-date drivers etc. Every time the " allow this program to make changes to your pc" screen come up , the sound goes all robotic and slow . This goes on while i install other stuff. it all ends when the screen goes of and on again , the sound like you disconnect a usb pops up , screen frezez but the music from youtube still plays normally.

 

Things that i`ve tried to fix this .

1. Multiple versions of windows .

2. older versions of graphics drivers.

3. update the bios.

4. tried to twik the power settings in windows , but i think did not work cuz my pc froze ( again )

I have not tried a different output for the monitor. I have an older monitor output through HDMI and i do not have acces to a monitor with different output such as display port .

 

Any ideas from you guys ? And if you want more details i will gladly provide.

Please give me some ideas on how to fix this new lady ! Thank you !

Usually freezing is a sign of too much heat or memory proplems. If the system is fine without that card I would return the card, however all is not lost.

 

First I would remove the craphics card completely. Run the system on the CPU graphics (Intel® UHD Graphics 630.) to see if there are any issues.

I would run userbenchmark, it gives you a good quick overview of all the pc components and tell you which components are giving below average results.

Do all the necessary OS updates and flash the bios to the latest version before re-installing the GPU. Now go download the v418 driver from the geforce site.

To be on the safe safe set your UAC notifications (user access control) to off. Power down, install the 1080ti, power back up run the driver install, without the Geforce experience and "perform a clean installation". If this does not work I ould test a differnt GPU and if that works, well RMA would be best since your rig is new. I would also get another 16GB RAM, it would just round up that monster nicely.

The whole sistem slapped on to a thermaltake core pc case , chilled with a custom water cooled loop by a 120mm quad rad. the temps are quite honestly room tempreture from what i had the time to measure . i did not have the time to install any 3rd party temps apps pc froze down to quickly. It will will be a little hard to remove the gpu and try with the onboard graphics. i have tested the gpu before the whole process with the stock cooler on a diferent pc and it worked like a charm. And the bios is already update through usb stick and duble checked with the internet update option.

Update Without disconnecting the GPU i just plugged the hdmi into the motherboad . all seamed fine , but the sound still goes robotic from time to time. i had the chance to instal temp core and the cpu temp is 32 C in idle, i presume temps are not a problem . any new idea. btw , thank for the ideas . and hope it`s still a software problem , if it is a gpu hardware problem i`m kinda f***d since i voided my waranty by puting a water block to the card

Last update !!

Found the problem(s)

Last night i just simply pluged out and in  the  rizer adaptor in my mobo . 

And today i changed the HDMI cabble. 

All is well , hope it stays that way

Glad you found the problem, must have been BIIIIG relief. Just goes to show, always check the cables first

( Just a thought, if you removed the gpu you would have found the riser problem earlier 4:21 Tuesday, lol)

You did not mention a riser adapter in your original post. (if you did I missed it)

 

NOW the question is which game's fps counter are you going to destroy. Have Fun M8.
