New PC - nVidia Driver issues

[Silent Sausage]

Built a new PC and I'm currently troubleshooting driver issues.

 

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X on an ASROCK B650 Live Mixed, 32GB RAM with a 4070ti - running a fresh Windows 11 (22H2) install with the latest nVidia drivers (536.67). Mostly happens whilst gaming, however can replicate via a Furmark Stress test.

 

 

I restarted into safe mode, used DDU to remove drivers, downloaded them again and installed them. Still having similar issues:

 

 

However I've also noticed this in the event viewer:

 

 

All chipset drivers are up to date, BIOS is set to defaults and nothing is overclocked.

 

Any ideas on where to go to from here? I've triple checked the GPU and PCIE Extensions are all seated correctly and all power connectors are in tight. To note, it doesn't really matter too much what I'm doing - I can be sitting idle at the desktop or playing games - it will just essentially crash to a black screen with GPU Fans going at 100% OR just restart.

 

Latest Update:

Updated Power Management Mode as attached below, so far so good:

Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance

 

Reverted to older drivers, I guess we'll see (Trying 536.40)

Try older drivers, just in case. But it could be that your GPU needs a vBIOS update. See the graphics card manufacture.

Else, it could be faulty. You can return it and buy another one. I do not recommend exchanges, if you can. Exchanges doesn't typically reset your return period, in many regions in the world. See your country laws and store policy)

Appreciate the suggestions - in Australia consumer protections and laws are pretty strict so if I return it, the warranty resets (From memory but will confirm).  PNY Only have vBIOS's available for their 4080 & 4090's (Nothing for the 4070ti).  I'll give older drivers are try, before I consider it a HW Fault i'll also run a GPU stress test under Linux to see if I get any weirdness. 

 

From some research however I've found some people have noted they are also using the 12VHPWR Cable with similar issues on 40 Series cards - so I'm also going to try using the PNY Supplied 12VHPWR cable (Rather then my Cablemod 12VHPWR cable) and see if I get similar results (Aswell as the suggested Power Profile changes mentioned in that reddit threat).
