r/EVGA

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.

Just wanted to do a final crescendo to EVGA, felt like a fitting time with the way the PC hobby has become as of late....3080 hydro copper, X570 FTW and 1000w P2 in a fractal meshify 2, cooled by a 360x60mm rad with super flower megacools, they keep the 3900X and 3080Ti in check just fine.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

RIP EVGA

It appears the link has been taken down. Just picked up a Z20 Keyboard, spent half the night cleaning it only to discover EVGA is pretty much dead and the software for it is pretty much gone. Only spent $5 on it but still.. would be nice to at least get the full functionality out of it. Anyone happen to have a copy of the download?

Purchased a used Gigabyte 5070 ti (GV-N507TWF3OC) that didn't come with the 12vhpwr adapter, and I've attempted to use CableMod's compatibility guide to ensure I get a cable compatible with my PSU. Between the guide and a response from a CableMod rep on another post with the same PSU, it seems there is a compatible E-series cable. I think I have this right but am still concerned nonetheless as it seems easy to get this wrong on either the GPU or PSU end, so I'm seeking any additional input about this arrangement prior to attempting this hookup.

The arrangement I will test:

1. Gigabyte 5070 ti,

2. 850 GT Supernova,

3. CableMod E-series Pro 12v-2x6 12vhpwr stealthsense PCIe cable for EVGA G/G+/P/P+/T (16-pin to Dual 8-pin)
