New GPU - Boot and stablitity issues

[kaikilljoy]

Ok, so bare with me here because this might a bit to unpack. Specs are at the end of this post.

 

I upgraded my GPU from a RX590 to a RTX 2070 Super.

I used DDU to remove all drivers and then reinstall my new nvidia drivers and everything was fine.

I played some Overwatch, and about 3/4 of the way into the match my PC turned itself off. At first, I thought it was a temp issue with the CPU but the bio showed a temp of 40c, which is about average for my CPU.

I then left bios and tried to boot into windows and my pc got stuck in a boot cycle until it booted into bios safe mode.

I reconfigured my bios, and saved.. rebooted.. and the PC now turned on, all my lighting, etc, but would not post. The indicator light at this time on the MB was red, which according to the manual meant "CPU".

I cleared CMOS, reseated ALL cables and the GPU and the PC booted.

 

Then, I stepped away and came back to a BSOD.

The PC went thru the same issue of not booting.

 

So, at this point, I reseated everything again, cleared CMOS, booted into Windows and did a full restore.

It worked fine. Was able to start downloading things. Then, my PC froze. I waited a good 10 minutes before I had to force shut down.

 

Same thing again.

 

Now, I'm back to it working again, but I'm afraid it's not resolved. Is there anything you guys could suggest to check?

 

My specs are as follows-

Ryzen 5 3600

EVGA RTX 2070 Super

Asus Tuf x570 (WiFi)

Corsair V 3000 2x8GB

What PSU? (this sounds like a power problem)

6 month old evga 620 watt, gold rated..

I resolved the issue tho. For some odd reason, changing the pcie slot in bios from auto to gen 3 fixes it.

For some odd reason, this specific asus board has issues with nvidia cards.

That is a known fix, and I was about to recommend trying that since the PSU was probably not the problem. (and it wasn't)

Have you noticed any stability issues since?

 

I was running into the issue where the wd sn550 being installed was preventing a boot for my asus X570 tuf wifi. Updated bios to 1407 from Asus site and since then have been having a lot of stability issues. Windows 10 wont update. Random BSOD, never with the same error. I thought it might be a RAM error because Windows Event Viewer had a critical memory error in it. The computer definitely isn’t running the same since installing this hard drive and I’ve just changed the pcie settings for both nvme to pcie gen 3 hoping that will help with stability.
