New GPU Crash Debugging Help

[Alex90uk]

I have replced my GTX 1080 with an RTX 4070ti yesterday and will get regular crashes on the first few times I launch games. All error codes refer to either DirectX crashing or Video Card issue. 

 

If I persist, the crashes go away and I can game for hours, I have done some short stress tests on furmark and CPU-z running at the same time and it will be fine, unless I run it from cold then it will just close furmark after a few seconds. I have attached a sensor log so you can the infor of when it crashes, it is the spike in power of launching furmark and then a crash.

 

I have a theory as to what is happening, but I want to see if anyone comes up with the same as me.

 

I do not think it is power related but for full info:

 

The GTX 1080ti was an Gigabyte Aourus 250w TDP 

The RTX 4070ti is a Zotac Trinity 285w TDP

 

My PSU is a Seasonic Focus 850w

My CPU is a Ryzen 5900x

 

I'm believe I am with in the PSU's capabilty.

 

I am however using 2 8-pin PCIE power connectors with dual 8&6+2 ends to connect to the 3 8pin to 12pin adapter the GPU comes with. (one of the 6+2 ends are just dangling)

 

My research and understanding is 8 pin cables can supply 150w each so even though a 12 pin is rated for 600w and if i'd used 3 8 pins i could adapt that to 450w, I am theroetically maxing out at supplying my GPU 300w and any more would be a fire hazard.

 

The GPU for clarifcation is 285 I have ran GPU-z and monitor my graphs it does not appear to go above about 291w.

 

I have reinstalled Drivers, but not went to the extent of DDU - i am going from nvidia to nvidia, so wouldn't have though it would be an issue.

 

Ithe solution is either buying a 3 pin to 12 pin cable for my PSUfix this or that i have a dud card that when it has thermal headroom is crashing it self my being too ambitious with it's overclock, or it's a mix of these issues.

 

I don't have anyone tech savvy to sanity check me, does this sound reasonable, is there anyting else i should think of?

 

What would your next steps be? What do you think it could be?

 

EVENT VIEWER

The description for Event ID 0 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event: 

\Device\00000143
Error occurred on GPUID: 800

The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

 

(SOUNDS LIKE A DRIVER ISSUE?)

So an update to this, is that if i use the Zotac Firestorm software an run an overclock scan, it reports that the suggested over clock is 0 and many graphical glitches start to happen. I opened a few chrome tabs to research and the PC became unresponsive entirely needing a hard rest.

 

I feel that this is more indicative of a faulty card, but i have never experienced this before? Have I just lost the silicon lottery?

 

It’s doesn’t really explain why I am having further issues, I am having audio devices (my monitors) get re-enabled, I normally disable them as i have a Z906 hooked up to audio. But it’s like my PC is forgetting they exist and re adding them to my list and then also ignoring my default audio preference, i never normally have to switch it. I am also getting crackly audio intermittent until i switch to my normal audio.

 

Could this be related to the new GPU? It has only started once I plugged it in…

 

Also, further scrolling and researching, suggest that power should not be the issue, as the card can also draw 75W from the PCIE slot in addition to the 300w supplied from the PCIE cables.

 

I would like to avoid RMA’ing the card if it is a user error thing. But I’m not sure what else to try now…

 

edit:

 

ran auto OC and got a +73mhz boost suggestion, be working since this post fine, but imagine next time i boot up issue will return...
