Ok - so after typing too long of a rant to care....
Likely culprits
-VRAM on mobo
-Bad riser cable
-Hit the reverse power supply lottery meaning its not running at full voltage.
I agree with over825 - most weird problems tend to be PSU.
If your GPU fits without the riser - at least to rule it...
...Holy shit - I've never seen such a detailed build page! I think I've built like 100+ pcs in my life and have never gone that deep lol. Lots of info there XD
Are you absolutely sure they sent an entire new GPU? That is normally the worst case scenario for RMAs and I haven't seen that done much.
Sadly, the only real way to test your hardware is to throw each piece into another known working system and recreate the problem.
Also, your card could...
Someone else said it, I'm assuming your gpu is bad. Literally could have 1 damaged capacitor and only be triggered by specific games.
Had a similar issue with my gpu when I played ffxiv. No other game triggered it. Tested it on both my own and my wife's pc. Only real way to isolate it is by...
Hmmmm. Assuming event viewer shows the same thing?
I'll keep following this and keep digging to see if I can help over the next few days. I have time for 1 game then bed lol
Good luck man, hopefully it's something stupid.
After a little more digging - long story short - I think you have a driver conflict between your GPU and Windows Hello.
Deadlock is telling GPU to use something that Windows Hello is using as well. **Crash
Having built dozens of PCs and running my own repair business - I have to disagree with you. Modern hardware is more common to have issues than old hardware and there's only so much you can test. You can have incorrect voltage on a single capacitor or a lead from point a to point b that got a...
Im wondering if you nuke windows hello - if this would keep happening.
I feel the vast majority of users opt out of hello so I dont know how to get a good pool of data on that
Honestly, you might just have a dud mobo/ram/cpu/psu - one of em.
Problem with hardware issues is you MIGHT be able to pinpoint them - but who the hell knows unless you actually have a suite of testing hardware.
The only thing I could think to do would be to recreate the issues on a testbench...
