Topic: Bolt 2 GPU Upgrade BSOD Posted: 18 Apr 2017 at 4:12pm |
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? Edited by Enronias - 18 Apr 2017 at 4:13pm |

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. |
