Oh sorry I did see someone recommend I try that but I had an ADHD moment :lmao:. I haven't tested that theory, yet. I had a thought that maybe my LianLi PSU isn't the 1000 watts it claims to be or there's an issue with the power being sent to the GPU under heavy loads. Currently the LianLi is...

I put it under the heaviest load possible with OCCT and typically it would crash. Crazy thought, while running should I turn off the PSU supplying power just to the GPU to see if I can replicate the issue? I found the receipt from microcenter and the LianLi DOES have a 10 year warranty so I...

It happened again. I don't have a spare GPU other than the W2100 that's only 3gb DDR3 and I can't game on that. I'm not sure how to spot errors within HWInfo unless it's super obvious like a popup alert window. So instead I brought out the EVGA 1000 and plugged it into the GPU. Only the GPU...

I ran DDU 3 times in a row and now I can't get it to crash on demand. It passed the VRAM and 3D Adaptive tests. I'm going to clear out Event Viewer and reliability logs to start tracking from scratch.

I have a meter plugged in between the power outlet and wall. Under heavy gaming it only hits about 879 watts running 3 tvs, a stereo receiver, and the computer. It's been like that for years. Never once saw it go over 900 watts. I ran OCCT testing VRAM in Switch mode and within 3 mins I can...

Nope not stable... happened 4 times since my last post. I have an old EVGA 1000 watt laying around I can swap back to if anyone suspects a power issue. Funny how it's only affecting the GPU.

I'm not saying the issue is solved but I'd say it's under control. It only appears at boot and the system stability is better. I have a feeling I'm dealing with a slowly dying CPU or NvMe drive. The last time I had GPU drivers fail after a clean driver install it was a warning sign my OS drive...

Yeah, I'm not ready to call it. I typically upgrade my platform when the next best thing comes out but I haven't been able to do that this time around and this rig just seems old and tired. I made a few posts about different issues going on with it. This one seems to be a simple one.

Not in the last 24 hours since I tore the entire pc apart to clean it.

I did reseat it. I've never noticed any issue with the drive. Never lost data, that I'm aware of. It doesn't get very hot. The motherboard has some pretty good heat sinks. Ok, so it has nothing to do with the CPU. That's a relief because I just ordered a replacement in case this one is on its...

My Movie drive has 870 errors according to OCCT and more according to CrystalDiskInfo. I don't store anything important on that drive at all. Just movies for a rainy day when the internet goes out. Could that drive be causing some of the issues I've had recently with random restarts, Reported...

I don't want to jinx it but I probably already have logging back into this topic. I couldn't see any damage or corrosion on the pins, power or pci but I went ahead and wiped them with a q-tip and isopropyl then dried them out with the electric duster. Also dusted out the card. Booted into...

Ok I'm back.... I went parts swapping, didn't have much luck in that department. Older GPU drivers did not solve the issue. I took the rig completely apart. Dusted it. Did better cable managing. Took a good few hours. I am now noticing I automatically get the Event 56 Application Popup every...

Saphire Reference model. I took my kid to school, which takes about 30 mins, and left 3 seperate google chrome windows open running youtube videos. Came back and it did go dark again. I want to consider the matter SOLVED but I have a gut feeling it might happen again so I'll give it a couple...

I've heard horror stories about people not using the cables that were included with the PSU, using the cables from the previous PSU of a different brand to save time . I assumed LianLi was quality or maybe I bought a defective unit? A quick Google search says it can handle up to 600 watts and I...
