This is new as of last week...

Any sort of moderate load on my 3090 and it just turns the screen off and makes me need a system reboot. Last night minecraft forced a reboot. I also know it kicks me from the game as my son told me I had left.

What would cause this behavior???

Could be card is dying or perhaps a PSU issue. Try using AB to lower the power % to 70-80 and see if it still does it.
 
more learned...

Yanked the 3090 out and put in a 3070. Same problem.

PSU is a 1000 watt EVGA GQ...seems fishy a 1000watter cant handle a 3090 running minecraft without the sues shaders.
 
evga has a long warranty, id get it replaced before
you risk damage to components
 
I have a GT 710 at home I'm going to try tonight...perfect for troubleshooting stuff. It only uses MB power. If it still acts funny with that then I will be even more suspicious it isn't the PSU.
 
2x fairly high transient load GPU's exhibiting same symptoms would be enough evidence for me, heh.. definitely high probability of it being the PSU
 
The mystery continues...

I was using DP from the GPU to the display. To connect to the GT 730, I had to use HDMI. It worked fine. So then I put the 3090 back in and connected with the HDMI. Let heaven run for 45 minutes without issue. Now I'm thinking the display maybe?
 
I think I found the culprit...

A burnt 8 pin? But AMDs marketing told us that 8 pins were safe!

But really, I would contact EVGA to see if they will replace it, before they go under.

I was mystified too. It isnt like anything I do would pull that much power. Not only that, I was using two connections from the psu to the gpu.
