Crashed just sitting on the desktop. For more detail I installed the new card and then when into safe mode and used DDU and then I rebooted and installed the latest drivers. After that it stayed on desktop for around 30 seconds then blue screen and rebooted.
Event viewer says kernel power event 41.
That's what I am thinking also. Beyond that, my gut is telling me that it is probably a driver issue (I assume that if you put the 4090 back in the 9900K machine it works fine). There are other threads on the net with people having very similar issues to this with the 4090. One thing I have seen suggested that might be worth it to try is to use an older set of drivers as opposed to the latest version. Older drivers might be more stable especially given how cutting-edge the 4090 is and how small its install base is right now....
Yeah I thought about that after this happened and went ahead and disabled that as it's something I normally have disabled anyway. Looking at the event viewer there were two issues the first looks like when I initially booted up the first time with the new card and then after I got back to the desktop after ddu and installed the drivers where it crashed. I let it run all night as I was downloading games and I was a bit scared when I went in there this morning and saw the case lights were off. The damn computer had went to sleep even though it was downloading games which seems a bit odd but at least there were no other issues.
I'm only saying new as you seemed to have thought I had only upgraded some parts and kept the same power supply and were curious about the power supply specs as if maybe it couldn't handle it. Of course a brand new part can be defective. Again though I have had the computer running for over 30 hours since then under heavy load for hours at times and no more issues. After I get a few more games downloaded and installed I'll run the memtest tonight but I'm thinking it was just a driver install fluke. That happened one time on one video driver on my last PC too.
while true, doesnt seem to have anything to do with the thread as the op's machine is fine.
its fine, it was just a driver glitch, like you already figured out.
Another strange thing just happened again after I restarted the pc which was chrome logged me out of every site including all forums and all my emails.
I've had that happen with bsod hits. I wouldn't worry about that part of your issue, at least. Sorry I don't have anything to add as far as the 4080 issue.
I think that is a logical next step. If all goes well try doing that cable swap and see if anything changes. I would do a thorough once around the PC checking every plug and cable physically. Sounds stupid but it never hurts and I have experienced many a wiggle that has fixed things for me.
Possible the board got damaged when you swapped GPUs. Not much else would explain why the 3080 ti doesn't work normally like it used to.
There hasn't been any issues with the 3080 TI. Anyway after hours and hours of fooling with this thing ethernet seems to work just fine on the previous non-beta bios. I'm absolutely hating computers at this point though.
Right I meant the PC should work normally like it did before with the 3080 ti installed. Hopefully it was just that bios though.
"DO NOT attempt to reflow a brand new video card. The stupidest suggestion ever, if it was a joke, it was not a good one.
that was a joke and a good one. read the thread.
if that will work for ya do that while they try to figure out the nic issue. everything else working now though?
