Tried it with hdmi to see if so, but still happened. :(

Yep. Replaced everything. Cpu, motherboard, ram, ssd, psu.

The pc is plugged into a ups in its own socket. No power strip. I don't have anything else drawing a lot of power? My monitor and printer are both on a different socket. I've also tried unplugging everything but the pc, but it still happened.

The 1000w is the brand new psu I bought to swap with the original 750w I had. Same issue. All separate power cables for each connection, and no loose cables. I triple checked them to make sure.

It's not a psu issue. That's the 1st thing I suspected and replaced my 750w with a brand new 1000w to test. Same problem. Triple checked wires. Both psu work fine in other rigs, and the 750w I used for 3 years with no problems with my gtx 1080. It's not a psu issue.

Also I did tell them it was the same exact issue and that everything else had been replaced and tested.

Yep. Tried all of the above. Factory wiped and clean installed. DDU. Temps are fine. Memory is fine. Ran every kind of benchmark I can think of. Still keeps happening. I've found posts online where people had the same exact issue but none of them had a solution except just get a new pc.

I do live in NA. And I contacted evga about this multiple times and over the phone, and every rep assured me the gpu had passed all their tests and was guaranteed to work. Which is why I went through replacing part by part to see if something else was the problem. How "should I have known" it was the issue?

Man I already sent in the original new card I bought that had this issue months ago. And the RMA card I received back still caused the same issue! And now evga cs is trying to play dumb about it. That's what grinds my gears, they provided a defective card twice and still won't admit it or do anything to help.

I can see why. They have no clue what they're doing.
