Hey there.

I recently got my parts for my new gaming rig. Everything assembled, installed updated - ready to get into some gaimz, right?
Nah...

After a few seconds (1 min tops) every gpu intensive game, bench, etc. crashes/freezes.
I am by far no pc-expert when it comes to building one but i think i didnt do too shabby since I already built two. But who knows, maybe i <removed>up somewhere...

My rig:

MB: MSI X370 Gaming Titanium
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1800X
GPU: GIGABYTE Aorus 1080ti Extreme
RAM: G-Skill FlareX 16GB 14:14:14:34 3200Mhz
PSU: Bequet! POWER ZONE 1000W (maybe another 1080ti in the future)
SSD: Samsung 960 Pro 1TB

I know, its maybe difficult to tell but whrere should I start searching for problems? :D

Thanks in advance for your answers!

P.S.: Sorry for my bad spelling, Im german.
:)

How are the temperatures of the build? Is the build overclocked? What's the voltage?

Nothing overclocked, everything runs at stock settings atm, havent changed anything yet.

Temps from GPU dont exceed 140F since the program craches before reaching any meaningful temperature.
CPU temps are also fine.
 
The Aorus Extreme is factory overclocked, so it's still overclocked, and possibly a failed overclock.
The default clock speed for a 1080ti is 1.48ghz.
So you can possibly underclock it down to that and see if the problem goes away.

And or you may want to update the BIOS on the GPU:

And try seeing what that Aorus graphics engine does under utilities.

Clocking down to NVIDIA´s speeds did the trick, it seems. 3DMark, Heaven and FurMark are all running smoothly...what a joke...
Thank you so much!

So I guess I am bound to "really" stock speeds for the gpu since Im not very well versed in overclocking, hm?:(
 


No it means your GPU is faulty and you should RMA it gigabyte and get one that works.

The gpu is factory overclocked from reference speeds. As far as the user is concerned, that's that particular gpus 'Stock' speed, untouched by the user. If you have not changed the speeds from the factory setting, you have not oc'd the gpu and it is supposed to work at what the factory set. If it doesn't, then the factory made a good card with a cpu/vram setting that the actual chips can't handle and that particular card was never tested.
In a nutshell, it's a dud. Send it back.
