I have a RTX 3060 Ti, i bought it like a month ago and the first 2 days everything was going fine, till it randomly started failing and giving me black screens, shutting down and restarting every time i open a game, sometimes it doesnt crash but only closes the game. i Checked this and apparently its a problem with my 3060, any ideas on why this happens or how to fix it? cuz im kinda a modeller and this is a real pain. Thanks.

I just fixed this issue with my PC not too long ago.

#

You reset all your BIOS settings to default

#

then flash update your BIOS.

#

Also make sure all of your drivers are updated. I recommend Driver Booster 11

#

If this solution does not solve your issue, ping me and I'll do what I can to troubleshoot with you.

#

This video explains it pretty well. But if you get confused just let me know and I'll walk you through the process.

#

First you need to format your 32gb usb drive to "FAT32" then download the bios update from your motherboard manufacturer's (ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc.) website on a 32gb USB stick. It won't work on anything higher than 32gb.

#

Again if you get stuck just let me know. (I had a hard time figuring it out my first time so I know how much of a headache it is. 😅)

#

The BIOS update didn't fix it?

#

Sometimes shutdowns can be caused from overheating components too. Do you know what temperature your CPU averages at while playing games? (Also what is your CPU model)

#

most i did was blender

#

and a basic model

#

most i played was valorant and roblox

#

how is roblox gonna overheat my cpu

#

😭😭

To recap: this only happens with games?

tired tree
#

I think that's what he said

#

Same thing happened to me while booting up certain games like Chivalry 2, Fortnite, and Crossout. But updating my BIOS fixed it.

#

i can use stuff like google

#

and well, discord

#

but whenver i open blender or roblox i keep getting black screen jumpscared

#

and then my pc restarts

#

or it just stays like that untill i turn it off

#

Can you check if the GPU works correctly when you use MSI Afterburner to apply a negative offset to the core and memory clocks?

#

If not, then the same, but this time with the power limit reduced

dreamy trail
#

what

#

i do not understand

willow edge
#

Follow this chain (similar failures here)

#

(Post any comments here, not there)

dreamy trail
#

#

#

#

@willow edge

#

i cant do nun on the msi afterburner

#

willow edge
#

Open Device Manager and expand Display Adapters. What's in there?

dreamy trail
#

#

Is there anything between the video card's connector and the motherboard?

#

Try reinserting the video card.

#

If your motherboard has another x16 slot, see if it faults in the same way in that slot, too (it will be slow, though)
