I recently built a new computer but was waiting on getting a GPU upgrade. Everything apart from my Drives and GPU are brand new in the system. I wiped the drives and fresh installed windows 10. I have verified all cables are correctly seated and double checked my PSU is adequate. When I try to play even slightly intensive games like Generation Zero or No Mans Sky after a short while my GPU crashes either leaving me at the desktop or locking up my system completely. Often the screen will go purple or artifact in RGB colors like the old tele tests or green screen. Even the User Benchmark failed the gpu test. I have also DDUed while in safe mode and fresh installed the drivers. My windows is up to date. Bios is also up to date. I also DDUed and fresh installed 442.50

 

I did the windows memory Diagnostic test and passed that fine and upon playing Generation Zero it spits these out.

and sometimes it does this

Also for some strange reason Star Citizen runs just fine ...

 

The state of the system is immaculate apart from some minor dusting on the card as I didnt deep clean it just used a data vac on it while holding the fans so they didnt freely spin. Cable managment is good and the computer is installed in a HAF XB EVO case.

I am fairly tech savy and I have hit a wall I no longer have my old system because I shipped it to a mate who was less fortunate than me and I would like to play games other than PSO2...

any overclocking? check your bios

[micmou]

No unless asrock comes standard with it. I have not done any OC at all.

[ACEHACK]

does your psu have head room,  i remember linus said in an old video that your outlet power may not be clean. try a different outlet? 

[micmou]

I suppose it would help if I put my specs huh I can try a different plug although It is plugged into the same port as my old build. Also I believe I have plenty of head room 650W PSU when estimated usage is 504

 

CPU: i9-10900k

GPU: 980TI

Ram: 32 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3, 80 Plus Gold
MOBO: Asrock Taichi z490

can you monitor your temps on you graphics card, use hwinfo + msi after burner 

make sure the fans are spinning.

[ACEHACK]

do you have other games to try too.  it could be the game.

[micmou]

The fans are spinning and the temps are fine.... I can run Star Citizen on high with no issue but things like user benchmark crash on the gpu test and No mans sky and Generation zero are crashing with error.

Not to sound like a asshole but did you read my initial post? I already explained some of the things you have asked in that post. I appreciate the help though. This is the first time anything like this has happened and it is very frustrating to hit a wall like this.

[ACEHACK]

i did, i am just tossing a maybe.

the reason i ask, is i had about similar issues during when shadow of tomb raider launched. i would have weird crashes, each time a different error.  i did everything you did, but nope. i  didn't have other games installed to try. so i gave up until the game updated. it was a denuvo issue. 

 

[ACEHACK]

idk man, maybe try a different gpu driver version.

[micmou]

It might be related to the games but I doubt it AFAIK neither have Denuovo or anything similar and this seems more of a deeper issue especially since it can cause full system lockup NTM I am relatively sure usermark doesnt have denuovo in it I tried a burn in with Furmark stressing both the CPU and the GPU but no crash. Let it run for 40 ish minutes...

[micmou]

I tried the latest one and 442.50 the "Most stable" by many peoples recomendation one using DDU to uninstall then rebooting installing the new driver then rebooting.

[micmou]

Does anyone have some more insight I switched the outlet it was plugged in to even trying a diffrent breaker circuit, I have swapped the GPU to the next slot and I have tried running only one monitor all to no avail. I succesfully ran 3D mark and got a decent score currently the only games I have that are crashing like this are No Mans Sky, Generation Zero, and weirdly UserMark???. I even ran 3d mark extreme time window and prime 95 for a burn in test and had no issues other than my framerate as that is way too much for me poor 980ti. I recently bought the DLC for Generations Zero and would very much like to play it. Any and all help is very much appreciated.

Okay so I found and fixed the issue. For some god forsaken reason ASRock has the power limits and all core multipliers set to some funky garbage. I followed GamerNexus article to reset the value back to the intel spec and now it is purring like a kitty.
