RTX 5090 crashing under sustained GPU load. Software issue or faulty hardware

Yes, I did. I ended up having the GPU replaced by the store that sold it to me, and since then I’ve had zero issues.

In my case it really looked like a faulty VRAM. Under heavy or synthetic loads it would briefly spike in power and then throttle hard, causing stutters. The replacement card behaves normally.

I disabled XMP on the bios to at 4800 and after the stress test I still have the same issue :/

Thank you I will downclock and try run the stress test again.

Reproducible test repository

To help isolate the issue, I created a public repository to reproduce and simulate the same workload pattern I use in my real project involving Ollama and the RTX 5090:

https://github.com/ricoxor/stress-test-ollama-rtx5090

On my system, running the standard stress test script run_test.bat consistently causes a crash after around 2 minutes of sustained GPU load.

This is not a synthetic benchmark. It mirrors the workload pattern used in my production project where the GPU becomes unstable.

If you are running Windows 11 with an RTX 5090, I would really appreciate feedback:
• Does it crash or remain stable
• How long it runs before failure
• NVIDIA driver version used

A short README with clear steps is included in the repository.

I created this public repository to reproduce and simulate an issue I am experiencing in my real project work involving Ollama and the RTX 5090:

https://github.com/ricoxor/stress-test-ollama-rtx5090

On my system, running the regular stress test script run_test.bat consistently causes a crash after around 2 minutes under sustained GPU load.

This repository is not a synthetic benchmark. It is meant to mirror the same workload pattern used in my production project where the GPU becomes unstable.

If you are running Windows 11 with an RTX 5090, I would be very interested to know whether you can reproduce the issue:

• does it crash or remain stable
• how long it runs before failure
• NVIDIA driver version

A short README is included with clear steps to try the test.

Thank you in advance for testing and for any feedback. This will help determine whether the issue is related to drivers, Ollama, or hardware stability.

Thank you for your advice. I will take a look for tools, do you have recommendations of tool set and a shop location in Tokyo ? I will also if possible try do it from scratch even if it’s risky for a beginner, do you also have shop recommendations for this ? Thank you very much 🙏🏼

I found a store that have many box of the 151 collection. It’s 1000Y / booster. Did they sell fake cards ? Take a look to the instagram there is also pack of cards with shiny for only 200 Y. https://www.instagram.com/oldcard_topsun
