@stooeh Nope I don't have any other games/programs more demanding than heaven. I currently run at 2K atm.

3080TI Founders Edition unexpected shutdown issue
Just tried out playing a game, streaming, cinembench and heaven all at the same time and i've just shut down.
Well , the issue definitely occurs when the card is inside your current setup, you can now swap out parts.
Start with the PSU as Grim etc pointed out.
Here is a list of ones to avoid and get:

I do have a spare Tier B, Gold Aorus 750w PSU that you could borrow to test (collection only).
Also check yours on there to see how it fairs.

i'd say the cpu has hit thermal limit and shutdown ryzen in cinebench alnone will make the cpu go super nova let alone everything else you have running trust me
No worries, a friend might possibly have a 1200w for me to borrow to test.
On the list my PSU is on A tier under single rail and is 11th down but markings show that the 850w is not recommended.
As many others have said, its likely the PSU.
I think too many people though get off into the weeds about power spikes and how much watts is really needed. Highest load I have ever seen my system pull from the wall using a watt-o-metter is 590W. And thats AC side. So once you factor in conversion and 92% efficiency your probably looking at like 550W actual DC load. Leaving like 300W before even getting to the rated limit of the PSU...
A 850W PSU is more than enough to run a system like yours. Even a 750W would do. Just take a look over at the SFF builds, ton of those guys have 3080s and 90s using SFX 750W or less PSUs without issue.
My thought is your PSU is simply faulty, rather than under-rated for the load. (unless its a bad design, I dont know much about EVGA)
I had issues with my system when I was running a RM750i. It worked fine for about 2 months, then after a driver update I started getting black-screen reboots like you.
Of course I first thought it was the driver, as that was the recent change.
I spent a whole week testing CPU / RAM / GPU using Memtest86, Occt, Prime95 and 3Dmark / Heaven etc. And the reboots would be so random. Sometimes system would run for 9hrs straight under CPU/GPU load, then crash as I quit the benchmark. Or Id play a game for 5min, then reboot. Then play for 4hrs+ without another.
Then what finally made me change the PSU was when I had a couple restarts just while browsing the web.
Lucky I had an ancient HX750 lying around. Popped that in, no reboot for a week. RMA'ed the RM750i, store confirmed faulty.
I ended up getting another faulty RM750i... coil-whined like crazy... and in the end Corsair sent me a RM850x instead.
TL: DR - I think your PSU is faulty.

EVGA's best PSUs were made by Super Flower (the Supernova G2/P2/T2 range), who are right alongside Seasonic as the best in the business. Unfortunately, a few years ago they apparently decided that using Super Flower was too expensive, so have switched to a whole host of other OEMs. The sheer number of product lines that EVGA have for PSUs is dizzying, and most of them aren't very good at all. The latest Supernova G5 series is made by FSP and are both mediocre electrically and extremely loud due to an overly-aggressive fan profile.
Assuming you have a GA unit as stated in the OP, it's actually in Tier B under the 'low priority units' section.
850w is more than enough to run the spec you have (Mines is very similar but a 3900FE) but it does sound that the PSU is likely the issue. I think it's liokely established already but is it simply shutting down or going into a reboot cycle? Shut down would indicate it's doing something to protect components but then that could be linked to the CPU also. The PSU should be the easiest thing to rule out and if you have access to another great or if you must, purchase from a retailer where you know you can easily return and claim it's incompatible should that not be the issue...
I myself have an Asus 850w Strix White model and it's handling everything fine. So I can vouch for that and while the Asus stuff is on the more expensive side from the reviews I read before it's a Seasonic Platform which Asus has modified and enhanced.

Ahh is see, now I know aswell as the PSU tier list. I got given a tier list from someone on the OCUK discord when I was choosing parts and was linked the one I am currently using who said it is good, but also may well be a PSU fault.
I have stated that with the 3080 vision it reboots like once in a while and with the 3080ti it completely shuts down.
I can't actually purchase a new PSU to test and esily return as I don't own a credit card nor enough funds to buy one of more power or equivalent wattage. For me to get a new one would be in the next 2 months.

FSP have and still do make some quality PSU, strange how they gave EVGA a duff one.
Soldato
Wow...can't afford a £100 psu but can fork out crazy money for a 3080Ti ?? ..
why not sell the 3080, as the op has said they had the odd crash with the older card, even if you sold at msrp thats a new psu 100% and you help out someone who missed the 3080's when they were avalible.
In my eyes super flower is now where near the likes of seasonic and delta. id say even enermax is above super flower.

550w is a typical heavy gaming load as reported by my psu with a 3090FE and mildly OC 10700k. I've managed 600w with the power limit all the way up and an overclock. PSU quality is more of a factor than the number on the side. I've got an OC 2080ti which reports 330w draw running fine on an old 550G2.
OP - how about undervolting the gpu to something like 1830/850? If that gets you stable it'll give you some breathing space to get a better psu.

It's not the watts.
The wattage of a power supply is it's total output across all rails/voltages that is meaningless.
You need to find out the amp draw of that graphics card then the max amp out on that power supply 12v rail.

I mean, you're entitled to your opinion, but objective testing says otherwise. Super Flower have produced some of the best platforms of the past 7 or 8 years. I can't see how you can both lament the demise of Jonnyguru.com and have a low opinion of Super Flower though, given Oklahoma Wolf was one of their biggest fans.
