New 2080super-100%Load/Crash /w Logs

TrueSNoL · May 23, 2020

Aloha everyone! I've been a fan for a bit, but never had a reason to reach out until now...

==>ISSUE: Over the last 2 weeks since I put my Aorus 2080super in I've been diagnosing a major GPU problem that's left me unable to play any game at almost any settings. Before this my system worked perfectly with my RX590 Fatboy backup; albeit at lower resolutions.

-Since then I've used DDU, (safe mode), to uninstall ALL AMD/NVIDIA drivers.

-Reinstalled NVIDIA 445.87 with windows auto-update off.

-Updated all drivers at the manufacturer website; through aorus engine, in windows devices/printers.

-Downloaded Nvidia Control Panel. ("Let the 3d Application Decide")

-NOW: Uninstalled all HW control; NO Aorus Engine, no MSI Afterburner, No Corsair iCue, No RGB Fusion2.0. Wallpaper Engine disabled for week, (uninstalling that next).

==>SPECS:

Just put this together over the last two months; my 4th PC build in 5 years.

==>PROBLEMS:

Artifacts in game include streaking, tearing, stuttering in COD:MW; red spots, lighting and reflection issues in everything especially Timespy Benchmark; spots and flickering in CIV6; freezes and black screens in Tomb Raider, Far Cry, Xcom2, etc. all ending in Directx/Developer Errors. All these games have crashed at 1 point, MY PC NEVER HAS TO RESTART, but recovers to Desktop: event examples below.

It crashes in the 1st minute when running Aorus OC Auto Scan in Aorus Engine.

Crashes in DX12 Timespy Test in under 3 mins. @100% load. / https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/46988902?

Plays through DX11 Firestrike Test fine with no spikes but red spots and slight stuttering.

===>LOGS/Crashes:

All logs in Google drive, screenshots are in numerical order by date. HWinfo logs should be labeled.

=======

Mahalo for reading! I have nothing better to do then solve this, so I'll be around if anyone has questions or advice.

PS.

Its been steadily worse since I uninstalled aorus engine, and the -MHz underclock. Idk if it was the underclocking that helped stabilize it as I didn't have artifacts before in civ6 and cod, but I just had a crash in Civ 6 when in my city center que-ing up production. I was already experiencing some black specs/artifacts on the map and cutscenes and wrote it off as FPS, *(even though its limited to 120 FPS in Nvidia Control Panel and 60FPS in game, @1440p High settings)*. In COD:MW, wih 150+FPS (no in game limiters only N CP), @1440p, Normal settings, I would see black streaks, tears and stuttering.
