Hi,

i7 2600k
750w PSU
Old GPU r9 280x
New GPU PNY GTX 1080 XLR8

Looking for a few troubleshooting ideas. Bought a PNY GTX 1080 XLR8. Installed it, and all seemed well. Ran BF4 and it work for about 20 minutes then i lost signal to my monitor and GPU fans spun up to 100% (or so it seemed). I ran Doom for a while with no issues. I downloaded the free version of 3d mark 11 and it crashed right at the beginning. The new playunkown battlegrounds crashed as well after 5 minutes.

I've tried:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
- Changing cables (tried hdmi, display port, etc..)
- unplugged dual monitor
- tried only with my 60hz monitor and tried only with my 144hz Asus monitor.
- When back to default MB settings (no OC now)
- Checked 8 pin power

I'm thinking it is not my PSU since the r9 280x has higher draw.

Thoughts? Return it?

Appreciate any and all help/advice!

Thx Kronima. I tried reseating it and moving it to the 2nd pcie slot but no luck. The event viewer looks pretty clean. I'm putting my 280x back in right now to see what happens when I run 3d mark with it.
