Trying to sort this GPU for my sister. Shes stuck with it as going to NY and is a student, so an upgrade isnt viable maybe for a month. Shes also a WoW player so may flip XD
Its a 780ti. Works fine under load (furmark, heaven, 3dMark) but once a test is complete and returns to desktop it “ticks” (sometimes) then blank screen and fans spin upto 100%. System is still alive (hdd led and capslock etc)
Ive re padded and pasted it, checked for visual damage, used on other systems, drivers etc.
Setting the PowerLimit to 106% helps but isnt reliable. Ive flashed the bios, modded the bios to ease the workload and flashed that. But still gives up.
Im a little confused as its only when the GPU goes back to desktop rather than under load. Seems odd.
Yeah. At first with MSI AfterBurner (along with playing with PowerControl) then with the bios mod I did. Around 40/50% lower, and the same for all 3 power states.
UPDATE:
Mild success. Run 3D mark in a loop, 720p windowed (with GPUz also. No GPU crash while finishing test1 then loading test2 then 1 etc for around 20 mins. Quit the test, then after a little moment the GPU crashed.
Will investigate further, and may see if I can keep the GPU loaded while its idle some how.
Not sure about that. This is on a seperate “test” rig, using an old AMD 6300 and a Asus Crosshair Formula V and a fresh SSD rather than her drive.
Checking Windows Error Logs, im not getting a BSOD or any errors at the time of the crash, although the system is now locking up.
UPDATE:
Running WoW (so I dont need to keep running senarios myself), sat on some boat. Game runs fine at full load as with tests, 100fps etc.
When the map loads the new location, the 2D picture of a map shows a line on the map as the game loads the new location, once loaded, but before going 3D again the GPU crashes.
I logged HWINFO on my main rig with a 0.5 refresh. This is the GPUs info as it crashes…
I see. Yeah shes on Windows 7 still and an Intel MB, but this test rig is a fresh Windows 10 install and an AMD MB. So Im sure my problem isnt the OS or MB. Also the system is still awake, just the GPU that stops. But…
Build 1809 (latest), Asus Crosshair Formula Z, NV 419.17 (latest) - and whatever NV driver Win10 installs itself.
Fresh installed the latest. I developed this issue on a clean install and the latest amd drivers.
It has been doing the same thing since. I have been putting this off since it crashes out mostly on exit. Everyonce inwhile it would crash out in game.
Windows 1809, latest amd drivers and an asrock X370 mb. I have looked a gpu temps ect and not seen anything unusual. I get pfn list corrupt error message and memory management errors on crash out.
So, fiddled with the bios some what, pushed up the DDR clock for P08 - Profile. Set the GPU clock to one speed for all 3D states. Also brought down the memory clock. May still need a slight tweak if anything crops up.
Top Kepler being my modded, bottom Kepler is the default ROM downloaded from TechPowerUp.
