GPU problems

[shinobi007]

Hello I was wondering if this is the place to ask this question if it is now please let me know I have a ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme that is 3-4 years old when ever I am gaming only my game locks up and crashes, My desktop runs fine along with other applications I was wondering if there was anyone that could help walk me through troubleshooting and resolving this problem as purchasing a gpu now if very difficult to find a msrp. The gpu was a transplant from my previous computer that had a 750 or 850 watt power supply and work find until i created a ryzen 5 3800x Processor and ASUS crosshair hero viii wifi.
Things I have tried so far:

1. Changing power cable for the gpu.
2. Change thermal paste it was a little crusty.

Considering replacing the thermal pads for the on the gpu.

try running it underclocked and undervolted.

GPUs with extreme factory overclocks can have issues with things like Windows updates and driver updates. 

 

To test to see if this is the issue, run the GPU in debug mode. If your problems go away that is the cause.

 

Also I did a test a while back with SOTTR bench on one of my EVGA 1080 ti SCs with +50 on the cores and +400 on the vram. I did the test again recently and now the game crashes with any GPU overclock. Something is up.
