Hello.

So I have just installed my RTX 3080 card, finally. But now i have a strange problem..

Sometimes the screen goes black for no reason, cant do shit and have to do a restart of the computer.

Did a bit of research and saw that people have the same problem, after or while watching youtube videos for some reason, and changed the speed for auto to pci gen 3 in the bios.

Have done this with zero result so far...

Anyone else knows what is going on?

 

Specs :

Palit RTX 3080 Gamerock

Asus Z270F 

Corsair 750W ( Old )

Reinstall GPU drivers using DDU tool.

 

If you are on the newest driver version now, try an older version as newest ones sometimes are not stable for a while after release.

If you are on the latest one now - yes .

 

By the way , If you havent done a clean driver reinstall after swapping a new card this is a good place to start anyway.

Looks like installing the second latest driver was the solution. Have been working fine now, and same tip i got from nVidia support.

Thanks for the help!
