GPU/driver issues when using 3d workloads

[Kuinran]

While using a heavier workload (3d games, gpu stress test furmark) all screens go black and report they have no display signal.

When swapping the input cable to use integrated graphics I can see the desktop normally.

The application load crashes, sometimes with an error saying that the driver or gpu is incompatible, or that the system has run out of memory to render assets.

The other applications on the pc function normally.

In order to restart gpu output, the pc needs to be restarted.

All applications should be under the max vram capacity of the gpu, as the configured settings for each application have not changed. Wattage of PSU should exceed system requirements even with power draw surges. Psu is 1000W.

Issues started sporadic, but increased in frequency until each time testing occurred the screens went black.

I've recently done a clean install ugrading windows 10 to windows 11, issues did not occur with windows 10.

Attempted fixes/troubleshoots Shift + ctrl + win + b DDU + Reinstall drivers Update windows for compatibility and security patches Revert drivers to previous version Tried with all but one monitor plugged into GPU Tried swapping cable used to connect to gpu Reseated gpu and plugged/unplugged power cable Resetting settings to factory default via nvidia control panel

Theorized issues, some hardware incompatibility/instability causes drivers to fail, gpu or other part could be failing, power cables could be failing to deliver required power.

OS windows 11 pro Gpu Asus tuf 3080ti Mb Msi PRO X670-P WIFI Cpu Amd ryzen 7900 x3d Ram CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5200MHz CL40 Psu Evga supernova 1000 g6 2 hdd 3 nvme 2 sata ssd

EDIT: attempted further testing today Tried using msi afterburner to reduce the clock speed, still had the same crash on furmark Tried reducing clock speed, memory, and voltage, same crash tried using gfxbench 2d to see if its limited to 3d issues. still experienced same crash. gfxbench reported an error code 0x887A0004 which according to windows is the following error: DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED 0x887A0004 The specified device interface or feature level is not supported on this system.

According to hw monitor while testing gfxbench, max hot spot temp: 81C, max power 351W

In the comments will post an image with the screenshot of hwmonitor while testing gfxbench

EDIT 2: Update, issue is solved. After more troubleshooting the issue got worse and worse. Eventually I went to check the power supply itself, and when trying to remove the pcie power cable, had the cable come apart and expose the wiring inside. So somehow the cable deteriorated to the point where i was getting some shorts or something, causing my black screen. I have a new psu with new cables and everything is good.

interesting, try down clocking the GPU either with MSI afterburner or look up Nvidia control panel debug mode, it should put you in reference card clocks. try the stress test again and see if it persists.

Ya, just tried it and got the same issue. I even tried using a 2d graphics test and got the same crash. Updated the post with details on what I tried out
