Hi, I got system running windows 11

CPU 8700K

RAM = 32GB

GPU = EVGA 3090 FTW3 ULTRA (BIOS switch = normal mode)

MOBO = Z370XP SLI (PCI 3.0, DDR4)

CORSAIR RM1000X (recently changed, 1 year ago)

So, when i'm doing regular stuff, file browsing, or gaming my computer will freeze.

i.e. image stash still, keyboard/mouse unresponsive. The pc lights, stay on, the fan from gpu and cpu are still spinning.

The only thing i can do when it happens, is to press the power button.

When i look at Event view in windows log, i'm not seeing any critical/errors/warnings happens in the minutes before the reset.

If anyone knows, where to look for Nvidia logs, please let me know. Some people say that if this is hw issue, logging may not be feasible.

So i've done a number of things so far:=============================

[1] try chk disk and windows restore -> issue pesisted

[2] did nvida driver updates -> issue pesisted

[3] tried doing a full system reinstall -> issue pesisted

-mobo bios update

-windows 11 clean reinstall on its own disk

-updated mobo chip set drivers

-made sure tpm and secure boot enabled and functional

[4] other system tweaks -> issue pesisted

-remove EDGE browser. apparently it makes systems unstable

-windows power settings -> performannce (set usb bus to not sleep anymore)

[5] only have wire keyboard/mouse plugged in. no wifi or bt dongles] -> issue pesisted

[6] Installed 3D MARK and ran a bunch of benchmarks and stress test

-recorded power, temperate info during tests and nothing abnormal, nothing great (GPU = 83, GPU Hotspot = 94, VRAM = 96 )

-so far, issue never occured during stress testing, only between sessions or during gaming

CONCLUSION: I was planing on moving to a 2x 3090 EVGA ULTRA FTW3 system (nv linked, on another motherboard) but i haven't received all parts for my new build.

However I was able to SWAP IN ANOTHER 3090 EVGA ULTRA FTW3 and the freezing issues, so far stoppepd happening. So far, i played BF6 for 4 hours straight and no freezes.

This saddly point to my original 3090 starting to die. Its been hanging wihtout any support all these years and i think the sagging sligtly bent the pcb.

So far, i've installed a support to prop it back up right.

In new build, to fit both cards in my case, i was going to install one of the EVGA 3090s to Hybird AIO liquid cooler so, i was think of installing the AIO cooler on the bad 3090.

Long term, i was planing on using the two 3090s in nvlink for AI coding stuff, then disable nvlink when playing games. i.e. probly use the good one for gaming and system display.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to do next?

[1] limiting power in settings

[2] playing around with GPU'S bios , apparently you can put in different bios that can force the card into a certain P power state.

Note: Gemini says, idle freezes (i.e. when file browsing) occurs when the GPU tries to quickly exit a low power P state and chokes now because its getting old.

Anyone get this behavior from their Xbox wireless controller with PC?

I've been having weird system crashes where my PC freezes and oddly when I unplugged my Xbox wireless dongle it stopped happening.

At first I thought it was maybe a ground loop because i was using a kV switch to swap keyboards between PCs. But it wasn't that.

I've been using the same controller and dongle for 4 to years now.

The dongle feels super warm, more than 45c, they advertise on their docs. Not burning be close.

Hi, I got a 3090 (soon two of them) and I'm hosting qwen3.6 14B with 96k cache via vllm (docker image running on wsl)

Anyone got a good guide for using zoo code (mostly like cursor, agentic interactions) with a self hosted solution. I.e. what model you running, their settings, and also zoo code's settings in vscode
