3080 black screen and 100% fans

Hi all

I’ve had my aorus 3080 master for almost 2 weeks now. Over the last few days I’ve had black screen crashes (no input detected on monitor) and the fans ramp up to 100%. The rest of the pc continues to run and I have to do a hard restart to recover it. After that everything runs normally.

The event logs are-

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered

the desktop window manager process has exited. (process exit code: 0x000000ff, restart count: 1, primary display device id: nvidia geforce rtx 3080)

Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.19041.508, time stamp: 0xcd97c98b Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.572, time stamp: 0x1183946c Exception code: 0xc00001ad Fault offset: 0x000000000010b65c Faulting process ID: 0x518 Faulting application start time: 0x01d6c0c55ab1bdd2 Faulting application path: C:\Windows\system32\dwm.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll Report ID: 049a3a64-de84-4fac-8861-9c2bc65bb09e Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

my system specs are-
I7 8700k @ 5.1ghz
16gb Corsair vengeance 3200mhz
Aorus z390 pro
Aorus 3080 master
Corsair rm850 gold (bought new specifically for the 3080)

I am using rgb fusion (a nightmare in its self) and msi afterburner to control the card. All stock settings other than a custom fan curve.
Temps are around 55c whilst gaming.

previous card was an Asus strix 1080ti which ran flawlessly for 2.5 years.

So far I have rolled back from nvidia 457.30 to the previous version.
Updated windows to version 20h2.
Comfigured nvidia control panel for maximum performance.
Used gpu-z to check for power consumption- showed a max value of 310w
Physically checked pcie and power connectors (power connectors are running off separate psu rails for each 8pin connection.)

Since making these changes I have had no crash after about 2.5hrs of gaming but I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or not.

I am unsure if this is a driver issue or a hardware issue. A google of the problem shows many cards of different makes and models affected, the problem seems to have been around for a while with reports of 20 series cards doing the same.

There are lots of suggestions involving registry edits, hardware accelerated gpu scheduling, bad drivers, power spikes, hardware fault etc etc but I’ve been unable to find a definitive answer to the problem.

Obviously I’ve had to wait a long time for this card so I want to be 100% sure of the problem before I RMA and potentially have to wait months for another one.

Can anyone help?

Thank you
 
Did you use ddu to uninstall the drivers?
And does your card have a bios switch? Have you tried using the alternative bios on it?
Let us know if it happens again
 
Yes used ddu in safe mode and unplugged Ethernet to remove and reinstall drivers. I have an oc and silent mode bios switch, it’s on oc which it comes as default out of the box, I’ve not tried it on silent bios yet. I’m also on the updated f2 bios which again came installed on the card out of the box.
 
Still dont understand why people use DDU nowadays the Nvidia install is nigh on perfect. DDU can often cause more harm than solutions. Never had to use anything like DDU for years.
 
Lower the fan speeds and raise and monitor the temps a bit and see if it crashes at a certain temp (which i have seen before). Usually crash + 100% fan speeds are a card fault from what i've seen in the past.

You could also try ensuring RAM/CPU etc are all good and 100% stable.

Maybe switch back PSU's (if possible) see if its that. Even if you just power the card with the old one (jump 24pin). i've had an RM1000x before and it was garbage, ended up exploding. See fair few reports of RM PSU faults.
 
I would start by switching in to quiet mode but then use Afterburner to set the fan profile to something far more aggressive. That way you have no overclock and you are keeping it as cool as possible. Also, yes, it could well be the overclock on the motherboard.
 
Just got in another couple of hours this afternoon with no crash. However it’s not something I can reproduce, no one set of circumstances seems to cause it. Il keep trying but one more crash and it looks like it will be an RMA. I can’t accept having to fault find a brand new very expensive card and most of what I’ve read points to it being faulty.

On the psu side of things I ran it for 8 weeks whilst I was waiting for the new card to arrive so I have my doubts on a fault there despite now pulling more power than before.

The cpu has been overclocked for about a year with no issues, temperatures are sub 60c delidded whilst gaming and whilst I can’t rule out a faulty ram stick I’m still focusing on the gpu for now
 
I am having this problem at the moment on a Vega 56 it used to happen when playing league but I ended up doing a full windows wipe and bios up date you name it i done it works fine now. Then I bought a star wars bundle off of steam and I can't play any of them they all crash black screen 100% fans and thats on the game menus I don't know what triggering it.

Could still be the PSU, these 3080s seem very sensitive to power. Any chance you can try another PSU?
 
The only other psu I have is an evga 650w but I could set that up to power just the graphics card and leave the rest of the system on the Corsair unit right?
 
I’m currently running the system and monitoring on gpu z. Whilst in game 8pin #1 shows min volt 12v/max volt 12.1v. 8pin #2 shows min volt 11.8v/max volt 12v. I’ve not had a crash but is this difference an issue?

At idle #1 is 12.1v and #2 is 12v. Ideally I know I’d need a multimeter to test this more accurately
 
try the driver from mid October. I have had a nightmare with the latest two drivers on my 3080. The latest one effectively killed Gsync for me. Mid October fixed it.
 
Got my first black screen today "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered", which did recover without any issue. It was just a couple of hours after installing the latest beta of Afterburner. The card, 3080 TUF OC, was not being used to any degree as I have Vsync on 1440p/60Hz. The only apps open at the time were WinTV in the background while I played They Are Billions. I had no issues yesterday while playing Quake 2 RTX, Control, Wolfenstein YB, Metro Exodus and Minecraft RTX.

I am wondering if afterburner is to blame.
 
Hmmm,

always found that after another forum member put me onto it to be a system RAM issue. HAppens only in one game for me too, Insurgency sandstorm. With my 1080ti I down clocked my 3600Mhz (1800) RAM to 3532Mhz (1766) and I didn't get it again.

Installed my 3080 (left RAM settings same) and it's reappeared after about 30-45 mins of sandstorm. Really annoying crash that locks up the machine.

Gonna try and update the BIOS and see if the RAM compatibility improves as the 8 pack Team group stuff isn't on the QVL list and see if that fixes it. I did the AMD chipset drivers earlier so will try gaming tonight with those before the BIOS update.

Has anyone tried downclocking the GPU clock speed and Ram?

I tried the GPU RAm by 150Mhz but still did it. Not tried core clock yet as I need to put my system RAM down to it's basic clocks 2400Mhz (1200) and see if I can replicate it there. But past games crashes with that dang NVLLDDMMM whatever it is, I've cured by down clocking the system RAM. Hence why I was gonna see if a newer BIOS improved compatibility.

Not saying it's the right answer but its a solution I found in the past. I think Squad which runs on the same engine as sandstorm, produced that crash on my system also.
 
Try the 650w evga PSU. Just because you have a new one doesn't mean it can't be faulty.

The other thing to try before an RMA is a different cable and/or monitor although given the symptoms, unlikely to be the case.
 
Well considering how the first wave of 3000 series crashes turned out to be more about agressive unstable clockspeeds then caps, maybe gpu core speed needs a bit more tweaking.
