Windows 11 RTX 5070 Timeout On Startup?
Hey everyone!
I bought a new PC 9 months ago and so far it's been working like a charm. I've been able to play all the games I want to play at high settings with normal temperatures and no hiccups whatsoever... that is, except for one little quirk. Recently, I've been having freezes during Windows startup. It's very weird, basically the first time I had a black screen before loading WIndows and my monitor lost video signal. I restarted the PC and everything worked fine. Afterwards I checked the reliability monitor and I had a LiveKernelEvent 1B0. The bucket ID was: LKD_0x1B0_DxgkrnlLiveDump:804_Status_0xC000009A_
Driver_nvlddmkm_failed_DdiStartDevice_StartDevice_Failure_
dxgkrnl!DxgCreateLiveDumpWithDriverBlob.
After that, the computer worked fine, again, I run everything I want to play almost maxed out with zero issues, but I had a similar issue again today. This time, my monitor didn't lose signal, but it started lagging a lot. Windows started as if in slow motion and moving the mouse around felt like I was using Windows 98. Again, I restarted the computer, and everything was back to normal. This time I had various hardware errors on Reliability Monitor. The error was different, it was LiveKernelEvent141 and the bucket ID is "LKD_0x141_Tdr:6_IMAGE_nvlddmkm.sys_Blackwell".
I have uninstalled Nvidia drivers in safe mode with DDU and updated the BIOS. I also had a slight underclock on the graphics card on MSI Afterburner which I reset.
Does anyone have any insight on what could be happening? I can't find other people talking about this because it's such a specific issue. I've wondered if the GPU has a hardware defect, but at the same time I can't imagine one that would only rarely affect Windows startup and not show any issues other than that while in heavy load. I've used FurMark and had no artifacts nor crashes. I also don't feel confident in sending it to RMA because it's almost impossible to replicate. I've tried initializing Windows numerous times to see if I could get it to happen again but it happens so rarely and at random that it's almost impossible.
My hardware is:
AMD Ryzen 7600x
MSI GeForce RTX 5070 VENTUS 2X OC 12GB GDDR7
Corsair CX750 750 W 80 Plus Bronze
WD BLACK SN770 2TB NVMe SSD
Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz 32 GB 2x16GB CL36 Memória Dual AMD EXPO e Intel XMP
Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX
Thank for the help!
