Upgrade Options From Ryzen 1700/GTX 1080 Build

One last question before going down the rabbit hole of RMA'ing expensive parts in the system, have you looked at running your DDR5 memory at jedec speeds? (I believe it's 4800? for DDR5)

Do you still have your 1080 to throw in there to stress test? I have my doubts its the mobo/cpu unless you're over drawing power on the PCI-E slot, or if it was a factory board defect like that one transistor install that was flipped on a maximus board.


EDIT: You got a picture of your build? I want to see if GPU sag is a problem.
 
I've been running at the RAM speeds it defaulted to, so yes 4800MHz. When I first had crashing at 6000MHz that was the first thing I did.

Also did about a week of testing with it laying on its back so sag isn't an issue I don't think. Has some but backplate brace is pretty solid.

Our upload limits are tiny but here's an Imgur library. I still haven't fully tidied up the cables and it came in pretty tight all around.

Guess I'll find out how Asrock's RMA process is. Just submitted it for the 7900. I've used it once before for my previous X370 Killer, but it was straight bricked so pretty easy to identify as bad. This being harder to replicate makes me nervous they'll just send it back but we'll see.

Ran my 1080 for 12+ hours on Satisfactory last night and never crashed with GPU usage pegged. Ran at 50-60FPS so locking my 7900 at 60FPS was probably similar load on the rest of the system.

Still possible it's something else but sending out the 7900 this afternoon.
 
Well after 2 weeks of running the 1080 and waiting on my 7900 RMA, it's crashing with the 1080 now too in the same way. Much less frequently.

I should have just stuck with my Steam Deck... less headache.
 
Well you're narrowing down the issue. Have you tried running memtest overnight? If that passes, I'd probably point fingers at the mobo.
 
Yep Memtest passed a while ago. I think it's the motherboard or I got extremely unlucky with a bad 7700X. Those are the only 2 components left it could be at this point.
 
If you go into event viewer amd then windows logs and then system. Is there any errors listed there at the time of crashing? Like I said event viewer has to say something.

Edit never mind. I read back through the thread and saw your image.
 
Yeah lack of any error or log file tells me I'm having a serious hardware failure, just feels like I'm chasing ghosts at this point.
 
Maybe pop out the CPU and check for any potentially bent pins just as a look over, I've had a weird issue like that once on a 2011 board with erratic problems which cleared up after re-seating the CPU.

My bet is on the motherboard. Bios updated?

Yep tried several versions.

Yeah reseating the CPU and trying a different PCI-E slot are about the only things I haven't tried. I'm going to do a complete tear down and rebuild once I get my card back. Be curious if they send me back my original or not as it doesn't seem to actually be bad, still processing.
 
Asrock RMA was a bit of a circus but they ended up giving me a replacement, even though I was having the same problems on the 1080. Would have been ok with them sending me mine back but was happy they went ahead and replaced it anyway.

My card was delivered to them on Monday the 9th, didn't receive any updates on Asrock RMA site by Thursday the 12th so called them. Surprisingly got a live stateside person on the first ring. She told me the "inventory department" had been closed for a few days and the RMA department wasn't answering the phone but she would email by end of day with confirmation if they had my card. Got processed about 8PM that night, including an email from who I talked to, and by the next day already had a replacement serial number attached to the RMA form. It got shipped out on the 18th.

Got the replacement yesterday. Appears to be brand new, had plastic wrap on the cooler, and looked perfectly clean, but was just in a bag inside a foam cutout so not retail packaging.

I removed the AIO block, removed the CPU, inspected it and socket, and reseated. Nothing looked amiss. Reseated RAM, cleaned out PCI-E slot with compressed air, and put "new" 7900 GRE back in. Played for about an hour and a half last night without a problem.

I won't trust this is fixed for probably weeks, but so far so good!
 
Yeah let it run in for a bit, but I'm still skeptical the GPU would fix the problem if it's happening with another one, albeit it happened less frequently.


Hopefully the CPU reseating fixes your issue, but if it doesn't, that mobo needs to go next.
 
Yeah I don't expect this GPU to be any different, hoping the CPU reseat was the trick, but appreciated they threw me a bone anyway. I think the 7900 just pushed the whole system a lot harder and made it fail out faster. Time will tell.
 
Well I did have one more crash on the 26th but overall it seems much better. I went ahead and put the Corsair RM850e back in permanently as the EVGA 750W had god awful coil whine under heavy load. Got an RGB hub and fan hub to clean it up a bit and I think I'm calling this done finally. Have had about 30-40 hours of gaming with just the single crash. I also adjusted my GPU power limit to 5% higher via the AMD driver software after that crash and think it might be helping with stability.
