Every game crashes

[Ninjafoof]

Howdy!

 

So I just got done doing massive overhaul to my rig by adding a custom water loop. I didn't change any of the components outside of adding a water block to my gpu. Before this, everything worked fine. Now, every single game I've treid crashes withing 5 seconds of starting. When I crash, I usually don't get a dialog window, the game just freezes. I've tried:

 

Updating and uninstalling/reinstalling drivers

Reseating GPU and ram

Uninstall EBGA percision and nvidias before experience

Swapping ram slots

Trying games from different drives

 

My rig:

i7 5820k @4.4 ghz

32gb 2133 ddr4 (8 modules)

Evga 1080ti sc2

Corsair hx1050 psu

Intel p900 optane drive 

Samsung 970evo nvme and 850evo sata 

2x 3 tb Seagate barracuda drives

 

Water loop: 

Ekwb d5 res/pump combo

Ekwb p360 and s240 rads

Ekwb supremacy cpu block

Evga hydro copper gpu block.

 

I'm aty wits end. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

What happens if you switch back to the stock cooler on your GPU? I'm inclined to think that there's a hardware-related problem with the GPU since the waterblock was the only change to your system.

I think the GPU is overheating.

See the entire video it might be related. I'd suggest try the stock cooler again.

I'm monitoring temps and they aren't getting above 50c...

Maybe it's the PSU which is faulty

i had the same problem with my Titan for a couple weeks now. i tried everything, but i just couldn;t get the damn thing to work.

what i did:

disassembled the GPU block, repasted in and reassembled it. 

somehow this fixed everything for me. games run smooth af now, and i even got to completing FarCry 5 today

Thanks, I'll try reassembling the block. 

 

I was a dumb ass and lomg story short threw away some thermal pads that were on the cooler to the GPU (but didn't make contact with the chip, so for now I can't test that.

so, is everything still stable?

on my end, even PUBG seems to be more stable, and that's one hell of an achievement for that game

Yeah! Everything is perfectly stable! Holding at 44c in Metro Last Light Redux, 3440x1440, everything on highest settings. Hell, even Star Citizen is more stable ???
