PC randomly bluescreens while gaming

[Glasya]

Hello everyone, i recently got some issues with my PC, a custom watercooled rig. here are the specs:

ryzen 1800x

asus crosshair VI

32GB G.skill ram rated at 3600 16-16-16-36

2x GTX 1080TI FE

Corsair HXi 1000W PSU (Bitfenix Alchemy 2.0 Cables)

GPU driver is is on 445.75

BIOS is on the second latest version (7601)

temps are all fine and the loop has recently been maintained

now the issue: as stated in the title the PC decides to have BSOD whenever i play  games, no matter if its Risk of rain2, CoD warzone, Monsterhunter, or basicly anything.

the bluescreen is only visible for a fraction of a second, so no chance of getting a screenshot with an error code.

the weirdest thing happend last week after the PC crashed and tried to boot up again a text appeared that stated" please turn off the system and plug in PCIe power cables....

i have never ever seen something like that and i  find it quite scary.

is one or both of my GPU's dying? plugging the monitors into one or the other GPU doesn thelp. enable/disable SLI doesnt help either

 

as i have been browsing through the ltt forum after writing this, both my screens went balck for about 10 sec but recovered after that. im getting a bit worried

I notice cpu cooling doesn’t seem to be mentioned, and 1800s are known for being picky about memory and running hot.

 

conventional wisdom is that in game crashes are often memory.  Especially because 1800s arent specced for 3600mhz memory.  It wasn’t out when they were released. Lack of described cooler makes me curious about cpu temps though.  Also curious what that 3600mhz memory is actually running at.

its a watercooled rig. there is the CPU cooling. a mainboard specific monoblock from EKWB to be precise. yes the temps are a bit high but nowhere near a dangerous zone. Yes i know that 1800x is very picky about memory. i wrote that is rated at those speeds not that it is running on those speeds/timing. its just what the memory is rated for. i reseted everything expect boot order in the BIOS, CPU voltage, CPU frequency, ram frequency, ram timings everything is on default.

 

anyway thanks for your suggestions

 

edit: memtest64 passed 11 loops without an error.

I’ve heard it said memtest isn’t that sensitive to mild problems that might still crash a machine. The one-stick-at-a-time method might be more accurate.
