I finally decided to upgrade my 780 TI to a 1080 TI.

Now when games are going it will randomly do a whea_uncorrectable_error blue screen of death and restart.

It is quite random, and doesn't seem related to load or temperature, since I have had the card up to 78 C and 70% load.

I have done all updates to my OS and re-downloaded the latest drivers. When I put the 780 TI back in no issues, any ideas?

I would wipe all the Nvidia drivers then install the drivers again.   You can wipe all Nvidia reference by using Add/Remove programs, CCleaner, etc.

It could be a bad 1080ti, that fault pointing to bad hardware, which bad drivers can simulate also.

Not sure which 1080ti you have but if it's a super oc'd with different tdp, power needed, it's possible the psu is struggling.

I have tried that as well, GPU isn't overclocked just founders edition.

Did a DDU to get rid of old drivers so sure (recommendation from EVGA)

They had me test my 12v rail as well:

Voltage 12v test showed +12.192 or +12.288 as a fluctuation.

Also flashed the latest BIOS I could find, thus far it appears to be working, games haven't BSOD yet so that's a good sign!

How did you test the 12V rail?

Good question.          

If the problem stays fixed my money is on the drivers as the original problem.   

Good luck.

It was under bios, advanced, and then power I believe was where I dug it up, at the very bottom.

Oh, I see. So this wasn't under load? The voltage may drop some when load is applied.

But I agree with bpratt's thoughts on the driver being the issue.
