drivers keep crashing

[cedar swift]

since ive upgraded gpu my drivers have kept crashing

[cyan summit]

Did you install the right drivers for your gpu after you upgraded it?

[cedar swift]

yes

ive used DDU to clear all of my old ones

[cyan summit]

What brand and model of gpu is this?

@cedar swift

[cedar swift]

its a nvdidia geforce rtx 3080

gigabyte

[cyan summit]

Mk

[cyan summit]

So when you play a game, does the game crash or does something else happen?

[cedar swift]

when i launch a game all of my screens freeze like its trying to restart the drivers but then they stay frozen

[cyan summit]

Another question. When did you get the 3080?

[cedar swift]

about 2 weeks ago

[cyan summit]

We’re there any issues as soon as you put it in

[cedar swift]

what do you mean?

did the issues occur right away?

[cyan summit]

Correct

[cedar swift]

i think so

but ive also updated the bios for my new cpu

so im unsure if that has something to do with it

[cyan summit]

What’s your psu wattage?

[cedar swift]

850

[cyan summit]

Did you try to reinstall windows?

[cedar swift]

nope

[cyan summit]

Or try the gpu in a different computer?

[cedar swift]

i do have another computer but it has a rx570 in it i think ill need to ddu that one ans reinstall the drivers. right?

[cyan summit]

Try that first before reinstalling windows

[cedar swift]

try it in another computer?

[cyan summit]

Yeah

[cedar swift]

okay will i need to install the drivers for my gpu on the other computer

[cyan summit]

Correct but windows usually installs it automatically

But

It’s always good just to go onto nvidias website and install drivers from there

[cedar swift]

with it having an amd graphics card in will i need to ddu them drivers

[cyan summit]

It should be fine if you just uninstall it from control panel from my experience

[cedar swift]

okay ima try it now

ill lyk if it works

[cyan summit]

But make sure that the psu on the different computer can power the 3080

[cedar swift]

Would I be able to put the other gpu in my pc and check it that way

As my 3080 won't fit in the other case

As the psu won't handle it

[cyan summit]

Hmm I guess try that

[cedar swift]

In the process of trying it now

is there a certain way i can test or do i just go on the games that i would normally go on and see if they crash that way

[cyan summit]

Yes

[cedar swift]

ive just put my build all back together and see if the problem occurs again

[cyan summit]

Sounds good

[cedar swift]

with the other gpu one of my games started up right away but i just reionstalled it and one of the othergames i had a slight problem with it but not soo much of one

one of the games crashed again but it was slightly different this time

this time it didnt seem like the drivers crashed it seemed like a normal game crash

however it happened when i put my main gpu in

@cyan summit the games just go to non responding

they freeze then it happens

[cyan summit]

Hmm

[cyan summit]

Does it only crash when playing

[cedar swift]

when im loading in

[cyan summit]

What cpu do you have?

[cedar swift]

im just really confused atm as the other gpu i loaded up fortnite fine but with my 3080 it crashed while it was loading up

[cedar swift]

r7 5800x

[cyan summit]

What brand of psu do you have?

[cedar swift]

corsair

[cyan summit]

Hmm

I’m looking at this article

Dude bought a 3080 and a Corsair 850 watt psu
