GPU causing PC to crash / BSODs

mathgremio · Dec 2, 2017

Hi,
Recently I've been experiencing multiple BSODs (Win10) and crashes always while gaming or watching videos on YouTube. The BSODs are random, some say 'Unexpected kernel mode trap', others 'page fault in nonpaged area', and there are others too. The last time it crashed, the PC wouldn't turn on anymore. It tried to, turned on lights and coolers for 2 seconds and then turned off again, doing it ininterruptedly, never loading windows or even BIOS. Then, I removed the Graphics Card (ASUS Strix GTX 1080 OC) and it turned on perfectly, without problems, and it never gives me a BSOD when I'm using it without the Graphics Card. So I tried to install the GTX 1080 again, and the crashes and BSODs were back again. So, I'm having them only when the GPU is installed. I tried formating the PC, reinstalling Win10 from scratch, updating all GPU drivers via Geforce Experience, monitoring temps, etc...
I'm using the PC without the GPU, and I want to use it again. Any response will be appreciated, thank you!

ASUS Strix GTX 1080 OC

a CX600w is bottom of the range PSU and you want it to run a 1080 OC I would buy a good PSU to go with it maybe something about 700watt
PSU Tier list tier 1-2 are good for gaming

I would recommend an EVGA SuperNova Gold G2 / or new G3 /GS / GQ, Platinum P2 / PS, or Titanium T2 or a Seasonic M12-II Evo or S12-II
GOOD PSU EVGA is a B2, G2, G3, P2, GS, PS, or T2. Avoid the EVGA B1 and G1 series/ I bought a EVGA G3 with 7year garentee

The problem is that I use this PC with this exact configuration for like a year now, and these problems are only showing up since last week. I know it's a trashy PSU, but in Brazil PSUs are extremely expensive, thats why I have the CX600w. Thank you for you response, if nothing solves my problem, maybe I'll try buying a better one.

Yeah trying to use a 600w power supply with a GTX 1080 is iffy.

Also the CX line of power supplies are not very good.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from mathgremio : "I doubt someone can solve this BSODs"

mathgremio :

Hi, I've been having several BSODs in Win10 lately (Screenshot 1), some say CACHE_MANAGER (NTFS.sys 0x34), others say DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, others System_service_exception, Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap, etc... They happen randomly, sometimes when I turn the PC on, sometimes when im playing or watching videos, editing in Photoshop, etc, and often there isnt even a BSOD, the PC just crashes and I'm forced to reboot. I've tried everything, changing the GPU, doing several RAM tests (memtest86, windows test, etc), using software, all windows tests like scannow and chkdsk, and even reinstalling Win10 from scratch, and still have the crashes and BSODs. The last BS was CACHE_MANAGER - NTFS.sys, code 0x34 (screenshot 2). I want to know whats happening to my computer, because even after testing drivers, RAM, storage, etc, I still have this problems. Please help me fix this! Any response will be appreciated.

PS: I don't think is the PSUs fault, because I've had this PC working for a year without errors, and they started without switching any hardware.
