Need help gtx 1080 keeps crashing!

[oszkom]

I have my gtx 1080 since christmas but last night it started crashing every 30 min or so and it's only getting more frequent. now i can't even start any game because it crashes instantly. sometimes i even get BSOD. i tried reinstalling the driver and updated the bios, but nothing happened. i have 3 tb of programs and data so i won't be reinstalling windows that's for sure. need help asap guys, i need my pc! thanks for the help.

Try taking out the 1080 and booting your PC. Make sure you know for a fact it's your 1080 causing crashes.

How is your temps? Gnerally Video cards don't cause Blue Screens... they can, but rarely. Sounds more like something else is going on. When a game crashes, what is the error it is giving.

my temps aren't going over 60, uplay games only say oh no! it crashed, overwatch says rendering device has been lost, other games just quit without error messages

If you've done any overclocking return the settings to default and test. When you bluescreen try to get an error code, helps with identifying the problem

i reset both the gpu and the cpu to their default clocks but still no success.

i'll try to get an error code next time it happens

I did that and nothing crashed with integrated graphics.

I think is the problem is your PSU. I have a similar problem that. Just change good brand PSU with Gold 80.

I talked to nvidia's support and they could fix my problem by enabling debugging mode in nvidia control panel.

I have a 750w gold evga psu it's an expensive and premium one it shouldn't be an issue.

same thing  but my bsod is often appeared.

Same PSU, using very old GTX 650ti

So did switching to debugging mode fix the problem?

[Jalaj]

I think it did as it worked for me thanks to him

 

Although im currently using my factory OCd card at a reference card's clock speed (thats what debug mode does) it aint fun but its good to know a temporary fix.

So i finally found the reason for all of this mess.

 

For me it was the thermal compound on the GPU was dried as hell so they changed it up for free and its amazing now.

Hope it works for you guys as well.
