Issues with new 3080 installation

[foggl3]

Hello all,

 

I am having some issues installing a new Asus TUF 3080, purchased initially on Saturday May 03, from a Gigabyte 1080ti. My current system is as follows:

 

Ryzen 5 3600 with a bequiet! Dark Rock Slim cooler

 

Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite Wifi 

 

G Skill Trident Z 2x8GB 3600Mhz

 

EVGA Supernova 750G2 with 2 individual 6+2 pin VGA cables (approx 3 years old)

 

500GB Samsung 970 nvme drive (primary drive)

 

250GB Crucial SATA SSD

 

2TB HDD

 

4TB HDD

 

5ea case fans in a Corsair C70 Vengence

 

 

My issue(s) is that with the new GPU installed, my system will be slow to boot, Windows is slow to respond if able to log in at all, freezes while logging in to Windows, and after a restart will not POST. If I swap back to the 1080ti, I have none of these problems. 

 

Here is what I have tried, in order, to remedy the situation:

 

With the 1080ti installed, ran DDU in safe mode to remove existing drivers with the latest 3080 driver from Nvidia downloaded. No change.

 

Downloaded and installed current BIOS update from Gigabyte (this went from a no POST status to able to log in to Windows but extremely slow to respond to input)

 

Started Windows in low resolution mode and safe mode. No change.

 

Exchanged 3080 with a different 3080 today. Better initial start up but froze shortly after logging into Windows then slow after restart.

 

Reinstalled Windows 10 from local files. Current status, no POST.

 

I am at a bit of a loss here and would appreciate any advice. I do have a second system that I haven't tried yet. If there's any additional info, I will be happy to provide it.

An interesting one this. I've got a Tuf 3080 on a MSI tomahawk x570 with a 750w EVGA PSU. I've got a 5900, though, but for comparison it should not make much of a difference.

 

If you can't even post, we know that single issue has nothing to do with the OS... unless you mean it does not load windows? For a post issue, I'd look at the seating of the card in the PCI-E slot as I've had issues odd issues form this in the past. Also a good idea to check the seating of the power cables.

 

If you can get into windows again  even though it will take a long while, try to see what all your components are running at in task manager or something like OCCT.

After lots of back and forth troubleshooting between my PC and my wife's PC, I've determined that my PCIe x16 slot is bad
