New PC Possible GPU Issue, Maybe Windows

ZMeyr · April 9, 2022

I built a new PC, it came with a windows 11 install, no issues during the install. After trying to play a game it closed out the game with no error in the menu screen after a few minutes of having it open. it would also give me a black screen of death and it would immediately restart before I could read it. I put the gpu(refurbished) in my older system and it works with no issues. I recently rebuilt the new system with windows 10, and after opening a game it ran fine for 5-10 minutes before it closed without error again. I also got a BSOD with the error "page fault in nonpaged area" (this has only happened once). I installed HWMonitor, and with having my game open in the background (title screen), HWMonitor recorded my GPU temp at 80C then the game closed again.

PC Specs:

CPU: i5 12600k

RAM: 32 GB DDR4 Ripjaws 3200 (PC4 25600)

MB: Asus PRIME Z690-P D4

PSU: CORSAIR RM Series RM750 80+ Gold

CPU Fan: Corsair Hydro Series, iCUE H100i

GPU: Refurbished: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6

SSD: M.2 1tb SeaGate

I would appreciate any assistance, I think it might be GPU or Ram, (or windows 11 even after wiping it?) but this is the first pc I've built so I'm not sure.

If you have a larger power supply like an 850 you could try that, but considering the gpu is getting to 80C I would like to know how your airflow is set up. If you have your xmp profile enabled you could try running without it to see if it improves stability.
