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.
