games keep crashing after getting a new 3070ti

[JRuss16]

so i managed to pick up a new ZOTAC 3070 Ti AMP Holo and i have been getting random crashing in call of duty modern warfare, control and some other games

 

and it seems for the most part the game will freeze and then quit

only time i had a complete system crash was in half life alyx it had a BSOD with a message saying something about video rendering (i don't remember exactly what it was)     

 

i have tried installing the NVIDIA drivers more then once with DDU

my PSU is a seasonic px-850 and i have 2 different 8 pin cables going to the gpu

cpu is a r9 3900x

motherboard is asus strix x570e gaming

driver version 471.41

my old gpu is a evga 1070ti

and i am not using any raiser card for my gpu (it is plugged right in to the top slot on my motherboard)

 

i am beginning to think this card is DOA  

 

if someone has any ideas that would be awesome

tried changing PCIE gen to 3 instead of auto(4)?

ok changed it i will gave it a try

 

though i would like to keep it at gen 4

i know there is not much advantage for it right now but i am thinking it would be much more important when direct storage gets use

If everything else is working fine with the 1070, I would think it's the card

Hey,
just wanted to chime in and say I am also having similar issues after having upgraded to a Zotac 3070ti Trinity OC about 3 weeks ago.

Previously upgraded from an MSI r9 390, and had no stability issues, even with an overclock on the ram (just XMP) and on the CPU (i5 6600k). While the rest of my system specs are slightly older, I have a 750w Seasonic PSU and have been getting the exact same game hangs/freezes followed by a CTD in multiple games. Battlefield 5, The Witcher 3, and even Total War Warhammer II. Removing XMP, all overclocks, and resetting the BIOS settings to default did not change anything. One thing you might try (which has worked for me so far, though its making me think it is a defective card) is underclocking your GPU's core clock and memory clock in MSI afterburner or another similar software. I initially tried doing it by about 40mhz for each, which did not solve the problem. I decided to just go all out and underclock both by 200mhz. Since then, I have not had any crashing. My guess, based on this, is that the GPU is defective, my PSU is defective, or the mobo is defective due to power draw/delivery, or an unstable GPU, but idk.

Hopefully this can shed some light on your problem and help you narrow it down. And maybe I will get an answer or two as well.

Another area you can check is W10 start menu > (search for) security and maintenance > maintenance > view reliability history. W10 often logs when you have critical failures like this and you might be able to see what specific error it is, though it might not necessarily point directly to one issue. In my case, I'm getting the LiveKernelEvent 141 which is usually associated with a hardware failure, or in some cases a driver issue.

Good luck and let me know if any of this helps!!
