Aorus 3080ti master issues

[Anglikan3]

Hello people of the internet, not sure if I’m posting this in the correct area. I’m not a forum user but I’ve had to resort to come here after finding no help anywhere for my extremely frustrating issue. 
 

I built a new pc recently, here are the specs :

i9-11900k

64gb ram (tested with 64 and 32)

Aorus RTX 3080ti master

3x m.2 ssd’s total 3.5 Tb

Mother board chipset is z490 

PSU  RMx 1000w 80+gold

 

those are the important ones ^

for the extreme specifics check here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Anglikan/saved/6vdVWZ

I also have a 144hz 4K monitor I didn’t add to that list ^ 

 

 

—the issue—

I bought a new card for my new pc, previously I was using a 1080Ti while I looked for a GPU and I never had this issue with the 1080ti

my issues with my new card have been very persistent and change very little. After some time of stress on the card my WHOLE SYSTEM freezes up, crashes, and restarts its self. 99% of the time this has happened in game, only once it has happened at desktop with no gpu load. 
 

the crash goes like this - normal gaming then screens go black -all my Corsair RGB’s freeze in place- picture comes back but frozen on one frame for the remainder of the crash - audio will continue as normal for about 15 seconds then will audibly crash - pc shuts itself down after another 10 seconds and boots itself back up - boot up takes notably longer after a crash. 
 

I have tried “undervolting” as a lot of internet people have been doing. I’m not too knowledgeable on clocking so I followed a tutorial that set my card to a max if 1v at below 2000mhz

 

also I have all 3 8 pin power connectors plugged into separate cables that all go into my PSU (RMx 1000w 80+gold) 3 separate cables each plugged into the PCIE slots in my PCIE which has about 4 slots for PCIE

 

after making that change I have seem LESS crashes but they still happen often. This is not normal for a $1,600 card. I shouldn’t have to underpower it to get it to work. 
 

I have tried running the system a few days with only 32gb ram and no change. Same crashes happen. 

at times it seems that GPU utilization isn’t a factor, running assassins creed black flag at 40% utilization, the system crashes. It seems to crash faster on that game than cyberpunk max all settings. 
 

please if you can help give me some tips or ask questions to further dive into my problem, it would be much appreciated. I’m also up to add someone on discord if they think they can work with me on this problem. 
 

im not crazy smart about PCS but I know my way around the basics in pc building and such. 
 

thank you all so much in advance. This has been so frustrating to me. 
 

edit - I have also used a device to tell how much power my PC pulls with a 1000w power supply. The max I ever hit in gaming was 660w. Never gone above. The usual area was around 590w-610w

And you have tried the cables that came with the psu? Custom ones might lack capacitors.

Unfortunately my power supply came with only one 8pin that splits into 2 8 pins at the end. My brother has the same exact power supply so I borrowed his and tried the 2. The same issue persists. As my card has 3 8pins. I connected one to the first slot. And the second to the second two slots.

Does it crash withoit undervolting? It's possible the card is not stable at the settings you're running. I'd try return to stock settings and see what happens. If it stops crashing, then the undervolt was the issue.

 

Did you run the 1080 in this system? If so, did you wipe the drivers completely for the 1080 before installing the 3080? Driver conflicts can lead to crashing.

 

Keep an eye on temperatures and make sure the temperatures are not getting high on either the CPU or GPU while gaming.

It crashed more often at stock setting. I tried the undervolt after doing some research. It crashes less often now but still does. 
 

I did run the 1080ti in this system but I I figured installing the 3080ti drivers would overwrite the old ones. 
 

temps are fine, my card has only ever hit 74 max but averages at 70. My processor sits around 40-50. 

edit - i will return to stock setting on MSI afterburner and try to uninstall old drivers

Hello again, after returning to stock clock speed and cleaned up ALL display drivers. I reinstalled current drivers and tested for a day or two and still had the same crash. Although it took a day and a lot of stress testing. It seemed to be fine all day for one stress test, then casual gaming on Minecraft with RTX packs and large render distance, at about 80% usage and 80-90 FPS and 10-20% CPU usage, it crashed. 
 

this confuses me as GTA runs at 80 FPS with 90+% usage it didn’t crash the day before. Stress on the card doesn’t seem to be a problem as it can stress for hours and hours at a time, then suddenly crash when not being used as hard (example assassins creed black flag, locked at 60fps at 50% usage it still crashed at random times)
