New build 1080ti lock up?

It's come back again today, this time just whilst browsing steam.

Have just removed ram and gpu and reseated them just in case, also removed the extra power cable for the gpu as adding this didn't change the result.

Seems I'm going to have to have to run logging software at all times to try and work out what keeps tripping. I have tried multiple plug adapters with no joy. No driver updates seem to be curing the problem. I would presume if it was anything to do with the cpu then it would be a lot more frequent and less random.

With two crashes in a row in as many days hopefully I'll at least be able to log the next one. Unless it now stays stable for another week as it did before!

So lost...
 
You could try running an extended memory test with the built in windows tool to rule out your memory being faulty,after that, I would run prime 95 to stress both cpu and memory for a good length of time, that way you can probably rule that compatibility issue out (should always check compatibility lists when buying).
I wouldn't use furmark to stress the gpu yet, like someone told me after I burnt my R9 290, play a video, run unigine valley, and if the cooler is good then you use furmark to test how good it is:)
If I was to guess about your issue I would says either not enough power, drivers bless them, or the card is overheating. Try running your tests with afterburner monitoring page up or the sensors tab from gpuz and watch temperatures.
Look around for reviews for your card, see what temps they reached in those and compare to your results.
Good luck
 
Thanks for the reply, I havnt tried testing the cpu or ram too much so will give that a go. I would hope they are compatable for ocuk to bundle them up!

From monitoring the gpu for a while now it usually hits a max of 72 under prolonged load but this seems pretty reasonable compared to some other reviews with the same card.

I am starting to wonder if the psu could be fault or something a long the power supply line as when the system is running it all runs well under load. And now the last two crashes happened with little to no load which makes me think it's not due to heavy load games.

I really hope I can resolve it as it's pretty stressful having a system you have invested so much in having these faults!
 
If you are comfortable with a multimeter you can test it like that, or buy a tester, they don't seem too expensive. Now testing it under load, you need to watch or log those voltages and see if they fall outside the recommended specs too much.
 
Just ran the windows memory diagnostic with no errors. However when running prime95 I had a new crash which rebooted and lost connection with the mouse, just needed replugging in to fix. And a second crash same as before.

Both times were after using the asus Ai Suite 3 fan controller. Just going to re try the test once getting rid of that software.
 
So this time I'm about half an hour into running prime95 and stable...

Max cpu temp of 75 and can hear fans ramping up and down as needed.

Only unusual activity seems to be that VID #7 on the cpu voltages seems to have hit a 13v higher than all others.

Ryzen Master is showing some sudden temp drops to -10 and one even down to -57 but only for a split second and neither HWmonitor or Gpuz detected this.
 
I thought it might be wishful thinking that Ai Suite was the problem but with a bit of searching I found this

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/commen...suite/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=comment_list

Seems other similar boards are having the same issues and it's caused by Ai Suite.

So that's aorus software trying to cook my gpu and asus software tripping the system...

Prime95 has been running most of the afternoon issue free.
 
Didn't have any issues for the rest of yesterday, hoping I may have cracked it now that Ai Suite 3 is completely uninstalled! It's odd that although I had AI Suite 3 running when i originally had the crashes I wasn't, at that time, using any other monitoring software at the same time which is what is presumed to be the issue (more than one program trying to utilise the monitor chip at the same time). Will do any fan curve changes in BIOS and should prevent the need for AI Suite ever being reinstalled but how familiar the issues others have been having is leading me to believe/hope that it was just this software to blame.

Going to continue to monitor this mind as I am hoping this hasn't caused any ongoing issues, only thing that I have noticed has changed is the gpu's psu warning LED's (two white lights above connectors) havn't looked as bright as they were originally (when I last had the crash that is) but hopefully this is nothing to worry about.
 
Evening, after a while now I have had no hard crashes so removing au suite seems to have done the trick.

After a bit more testing I am still getting abnormal temp readings on the cpu ranging from -57 to 198, these are clearly not accurate as they only last a second. However I cannot find anyone reporting this problem, the readings are frequent enough I got about 8 in a 2 hour test all exactly -57 -10 or 198.

Also I have noticed that occasionally at boot up it will restart the boot process when the cpu led lights up so rather than lighting up 1234 I get 121234... if that makes sense (1 ram 2 cpu 3 vga 4 boot). It seems to boot fine otherwise.

Do you think the cpu/cpu readings could have been at fault causing ai suite fan controller to react to the abnormal 198 degree readings? I'm wondering if it's a possible cpu or mb issue? Not had a crash yet whilst getting these readings without ai suite mind.
 
The 121234 boot thing could be that the motherboard it trying to initialise and MAYBE has to slacken off the RAM timings a bit to get a successful post/boot. Ryzen can be a bit finicy with some RAM, but not all.

What you could do is monitor the ram timings. Take a baseline when it boots fine(1234) then, when you get the 121234 check the timings again, with cpu-z for example, and see if they have changed.

If they have slackened the ram timings to get a P.O.S.T the I would reduce the speed of the ram by one notch, from 3200 to 3066 for example, but still keep the good timings - see how that goes.

If the CPU temp read fine in Ryzen master I wouldn't worry about it. And I always do my fan curves etc in the bios, the less apps you have running in windows messing with that stuff the better.
