New AM5 build lagging

I have tried two different nvidia versions, two different amd chipset versions - one from mobo manufacturer site, one from amd site (much newer).
 
I did sfc scan of windows the day before yesterday as well which found errors and fixed them but the issue persists.

"increasing the drive timeout delay via registry" - how do i do that?

146796.660µs is 0.14 seconds so, setting any delay of 1 or higher should be ok, try 5 or 10. It may or may not make any difference at all. I think I have only had one gpu in the past where it helped, I was running 2 x gtx 295's so quad SLI, and one of the cards ran fine on like 35% of drivers and the others it needed the the TDR limit changed. with it changed, I noticed no problems, could overclock etc everything fine. I put it down to dodgy drivers at the time/SLI issues and didnt care. But with a single GPU, if new, I'd probably just RMA it, especially now there is availability so it wont be waiting a month etc.

From Google AI Summary:

Nvidia TDR Increase​

To increase the TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) value for NVIDIA graphics cards on Windows, you can modify the registry settings. Here are the steps:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, type "regedit", and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers.
  3. Look for the TdrDelay entry. If it does not exist, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named TdrDelay.
  4. Double-click the TdrDelay entry, select the Decimal radio button, and enter a higher value (e.g., 10, 60, or 120 seconds) in the Value data field.
  5. Repeat the process for the TdrDdiDelay entry if it exists, or create it if it does not.
  6. Close the Registry Editor and reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
It is important to note that increasing the TDR value can help prevent the GPU driver from resetting during long computations, but it should be done with caution as modifying the registry can have serious consequences if not done correctly. Additionally, these settings may be reset after system updates or GPU driver updates, so you may need to adjust them again.

Meant to say that when I startup with lags, it shows 1

maybe a red herring, it downclock speed when GPU is not under load
also may hint that pcie is not the suspect for lags
next suspect... Infinity Fabric? Up SoC voltage by 0.1-0.2V?

Thing is, on a normal startup i never shows one, even if not under load. Startups that do have a lag, it never goes higher than 3.
 
I’d be tempted to run furmark for no longer than 20 minutes to stress test the GPU to see if it’s causing the problem. If you have a friend with a know good system pit the GPU on that. Did the problem start when you changed the GPU.

Thank you to all who contributed, I am now done troubleshooting this. Extensive search points to a wider AM5 compatibility issues with nvidia 5000 series cards, reported by many other users with the exact same symptoms. Enabling spread spectrum help to mange this issue - card still does not recognize gen 5 (runs at gen 4) but at least it is not freezing.

My options are (input welcome):
  1. Keep everything and wait for nvidia / AMD to fix it via BIOS and firmware updates. Similar issue occurred with 4000 cards and was fixed last August apparently.
  2. Switch to another mobo - not great as have seen reports and even articles about this on 600 series, 800 series, MSI and Gigabyte etc. Who knows if I will get one that works or not.
  3. Return 5070ti and buy 9070 XT.
