i7 8700k @5.1ghz 1.34v (delid)
Asus Strix z370f mobo (was z370e)
Asus strix 1080ti OC
Samsung NVME m.2 265gb
Samsung 850 pro 500gb x2
WD 2tb hdd
nzxt X72 cooler
corsair HX750i psu
Trident Z 3600mhz 16gb ram
So recently my Asus z370e died, lights came on the mobo but not the ram or gpu, there was no output of any kind, no usb ports would work and it wouldn't post.
I know it was the motherboard and not the psu as i had another z370 board to hand, swapped everything out and my rig worked fine.
It's been working fine for a week, last night when i finished gaming, I shut down as normal then this morning I fired it up and nothing.
This time though all my peripherals and lights were on. I plugged the dp into the mobo, rebooted and it worked.
When I looked at device manager it had an exclamation mark next to the 1080ti display driver saying "error code 43"
A quick google search showed a driver error, i used display driver uninstaller to remove all traces of nvidia and did a fresh clean install.
After everything was reinstalled I plugged the dp back into the gpu and it appeared to have worked, the exclamation mark had gone in display driver and both monitors were working, but as soon as the gpu got taxed in any way the screen would go black and not turn on until I did a hard reset and put the dp back in the mobo.
When I looked at device manager it had the same exclamation mark and error again.
I took the gpu to a friends to see if it was my system, it did the same thing on his rig, I took his gpu and tried it in my rig and it worked fine, games fired up and played.
I'm very concerned about the rest of my rig now, i'm just about to run some tests on the cpu and run memtest on my ram.
Have any of you heard of anything like this?
Is it just bad luck that my mobo and gpu dies within a week of each other?
Many thanks
