Nvidia Black Screen and 100% Fan Speed

[broken3929]

I'm having issues with my 2080Ti going black and then the fans ramping up. The fact that Windows continues to run in the background makes me think that the display driver is crashing, but I'm not too sure.

I've already tried, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling Windows, rolling back the driver version, and changing the display port cable. I suppose it could also be a PSU issue, but the fact that it happens when the system is idling and everything else continues like normal makes me think otherwise.

Anyone else have any suggestions as to what the problem is?

How did you uninstall the drivers? Asking because I used to have issues unless I did a clean driver install with DDU (display driver uninstaller) in safe mode.

 

If you already did that, then I’d go with a fresh windows install. I’m saying that because they’re might be something in your system causing your GPU to spike in load. And If windows is still running in the background I don’t think it’s a power issue.

May be its a pcie issue

*** SOLUTION FOUND ***

I'm going round the threads associated with this to give the information that I've been collecting over the last 3 weeks whilst experiencing the same exact problem.

I started with an EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Black Edition which then artifacted (faulty GDDR6 Ram Modules from Micron), and then replaced with the exact same card, except this time it failed with a black screen and 100% fan usage.

Thinking its the GPU again, I got a replacement RTX 2080 Ti except this time it was the MSI RTX 2080 Ti Ventus GP OC (factory overclocked version of the gp basically).

Immediately presented with the same problem.

Sometimes I can't even post, sometimes I can get to login screen on windows and it then crashes the second I try to type my pin in, sometimes It loads but with windows default drivers then crashes when NVIDIA's drivers are loaded, and finally sometimes it crashes when loading up ANY game.

The common problem here is NOT the graphics card in my case.

It was the POWER DELIVERY. 

I traced the cables to the PSU and noticed the 8 pin connector wasn't fully snapped into the Corsair 550W Bronze semi modular PSU.

After pushing this all the way in, it clicked and everything went back to normal and started working.

A few things to note here - the machine was a prebuilt but was brand new, as well as all the GPU's used.

Whenever the GPU ramped up in power usage, it cut off and got a black screen, with 100% fan usage that can't be fixed unless you 

IF this is not your problem, and you have even tried swapping out your PSU then your GPU is actually to blame here.

As others have posted, either get a new GPU which comes repasted, or repaste the GPU yourself.

For me, multiple GPUs did not fix this problem.

Good luck all!
