Topic: Dual HDMI screens on RTX3070 going black Posted: 23 Mar 2021 at 12:33pm |

Budget:
[n/a] Expectations: [Resolution] Usage: [Typical/gaming] Special Needs: [ I have a Velox with Ryzen 3900X, 32GB RAM and an RTX3070 that is running two HDMI monitors spanned at 1900x1080 each. I have the latest NVidia drivers (461.92) which I have now uninstalled and reinstalled twice since delivery. The system is dropping the video signal such that the screens are flashing black and then back on again, are failing to repaint, and are causing individual application interfaces to turn black, all randomly. But when it starts happening, it then gets more and more frequent until, as I write this, it is happening roughly 30 times a minute. I have since pulled the second monitor, switched the primary to straight HDMI in the HDMI slot on the card, and nothing has helped. I have also put the TdsDelay and TdsDdiDelay registry keys in with values of 60. Nothing is helping. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how was this fixed. This machine is basically unusable for any practical length of time in its current predicament, and I'm wondering if this is coming about because of a cabling issue (quality mostly, they're 6' HDMI cables) or because there's a problem with the new NVidia drivers, or because there is a problem with this card and it needs to be RMA'd or something. This computer couldn't have passed testing with this issue happening like this and nobody noticed. So now I'm beginning to think maybe display port isn't really backwards compatible with HDMI. Any help is appreciated. ] Saved Ticket #: [None] Specifications: [ System Configuration: Chassis Model: Digital Storm Velox Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (12-Core) 4.6 GHz Turbo Motherboard: ASUS PRIME X570-P / MSI X570-A Pro (Up to 2x PCI-E Devices) (No SLI Support) System Memory: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 1200W Silverstone / EVGA / Thermaltake (Modular) (80 Plus Gold) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: - No Thanks Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (500GB Seagate FireCuda 520) (NVM Express) (Gen4 PCIe) Storage Set 2: - No Thanks Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce RTX 3070 8GB (Performance Edition) (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Add On Card: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex Liquid CPU Cooler (Dual Fan) (Fully Sealed + No Maintenance) HydroLux Tubing Style: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected HydroLux Fluid Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected Cable Management: Exotic Cable Management - Green - (Cable Combs with Custom Color Sleeved Extension Cables) Chassis Fans: Corsair LL Series (RGB Fans) (Software Controlled Effects) Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled Advanced LED Lighting System (Multiple RGB Color Modes) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Stock Factory Turbo Boost Advanced Automatic Overclocking Graphics: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) OS Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: USB Drive - Windows 10 Installation (Format and Clean Install) Virus Protection: Windows Defender Antivirus (Built-in to Windows 10) Office: - No Thanks Mouse Pad: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 20-25 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) ] |

Will do, thanks. I thought maybe switching to active display port->HDMI adapters would work so I bought some, but the problem came up again soon as I booted up with them. Then I reboot and it's not doing it. Seems that it won't do it until it does, but once it does, it then keeps doing it until I do something to stop it, like reboot. |

Just a thought, do you have all the "sleep" mode functions off? That sounds like a monitor going to sleep and not waking up. I had mine to go to sleep and had to turn the function off when they were staying asleep (black screen) no matter what I did. All fine when rebooted the system. Never did let the pc go to sleep mode but never had issues with the monitor(s) taking a nap. Now no sleeping.

No I normally turn all that off on powered machines. And the picture come right back on after the system recovers the driver failure. The monitors never actually turn off. I've since talked to support at Digital Storm and they gave me what were supposedly hotfix drivers and suggested I run DDU and then install them. Tried all that - same thing. Monitors flipping on and off like a cheap adult bookstore sign. Made sure all overclocking was off. Toggled refresh rate from 60 to 59Hz and back again. Added in all the TDR stuff. Still this driver has stopped responding error. And now, as if it got challenged to become even more of a dumpster fire than it already is, I am dealing with BSODs from stuff as simple as javascript behaviors and opening Word documents. IRQ_LESSOR_NOTEQUAL now. I've been building my own computers solidly and exclusively since '90 and I have never had a computer come out of the gate with as many failures as this one has had. First desktop I've bought since then and it can't run for five minutes without some sort of failure. But they don't happen in full screen games. They happen with nothing open except Chrome and Outlook, or some other combination of desktop apps. In other words, with zero heat buildup and zero load. I have to wonder what burn-in and quality tests were run to manage to have never seen this come up. Are these machines only good with the latest Display Port 144+Hz monitors? Because I can't imagine I have to start expecting to RMA components here less than a month after delivery. Edited by ShrykeAbysmal - 05 Apr 2021 at 1:00pm |

Yeah there's definitely a problem here. All kinds of 4101 and 4109 errors all day today. Report after report of programs being deed access to graphics hardware. Am event viewer full of COM errors concerning CLSID launch permission denials despite my account being an admin on the machine and now even the ribbons screen saver is claiming it's too much for the graphics hardware to run, lol.
I'm running Memtest64 on it right now and in less than five minutes after starting it, both monitors black out after all input is lost and one of them reports back no signal. Are we kidding? My TRS-80 from 1980 would be less hard pressed than this to display icons and a web browser. What testing was done here? I'm ready to wipe this whole system and dump this memory for something I know works and it's been here less than a month. What took a fiscal quarter to produce here about this machine? Really unhappy with this now. |

I'm no expert, but it could be one or a combination of problems: bad video card/motherboard, drivers, VPN software, etc. Given the solutions that have already been tried & assuming they were performed correctly, I would send the system back and let them sort it out. The issue(s) seem to be getting progressively worse with the applied fixes and I would guess DS tech support had the presence of mind to go through the Event Viewer with you to find what caused or lead to the IRQ_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL errors. |

No as a matter of fact they didn't, but only because when they called to remote in I had a production deployment meeting to take part in. Since I last posted here I rolled all the way back to 457.09 drivers, which actually was getting something done until it started up again hours later. I resolved almost all of the DCOM launch permissions issues that were coming up regarding the administrators group and thus my local account not having full control for the various services. Most of them seem to have to do with a now unknown user SID being in the launch permissions, so I have to wonder what that's about and if there was a temp user used to configure that has now been removed. I also changed slots on the DIMMs. I installed MSI Afterburner, which I used to "40 under" the core clock on the GPU. I have not had a single 4101 or 4109 in the two and a half hours since doing that underclock. Fingers crossed, but really this shouldn't have to be done on a new machine with a top of the line card like this after the setup has been through over a week of testing. I just hope the chatter regarding this being a problem on these RTX 3000 cards is based in reality. |

Never mind. Still doing it. Even with now a 52 MHz underclock.

Then you should try to schedule a general time window for them. It will be a lot easier for all involved if they can diagnose the problem remotely.
Also, I don't recall you mentioning anything about uninstalling & physically removing the graphics card. Have you tried that yet and just use the motherboard's onboard graphics to see if you have the same issue? If not, don't bother unless it becomes necessary. The best way for them to diagnose is to leave things as is & the problem(s) can be reproduced while they're remotely working with the system. "Top of the line card" just means you're paying more money for more "features". You have to remember that everything nowadays is mass produced and that no matter how high the price tag of an electronic component, there are always going to be failures. It just really sucks when it happens to one of us. |

I have uninstalled the card three times with DDU, unhooked and reseated the card, reseated and moved the DIMMs, reinstalled Windows now twice, increased core voltage and decreased core clock at various times, and all that's changed is is that after one attempt at a Windows update the machine now can't get passed the screen blur upon clicking the login button to get to the actual login box. Aware of the reality of buying electronics and agree. As mentioned before this is not my first rodeo. I haven't bought a machine since my Tandy 1000 in '85, yet I've had gaming machines ever since. My last one is still 100% operational after 7 years having only needed a replacement PSU and water cooling radiator replacement in year 7. And I guess that's a good thing, because it's the only working desktop in the house. I'd try throwing my GTX680 from that machine into this one to rule out the rest of the system, but I don't feel like taking this Velox apart down to the motherboard to figure out why the PCI-E power plug looks to be on a ribbon cable too short by half to get to the card slots or to confirm whether there really is only one power plug when my 680 needs two. Just not where I expected to be right now. At any rate I will have to schedule something with them again once I have Windows installed again and can actually make it to a remote session reliably.

I finally got this fixed. Sent the card back, and it appears they sent me a new one, because it came in the NVidia box with all new booklets and connectors. Installed it and had the same problems again however.
I'd done the third reinstall of Windows without ArmourCrate installed following some other advice on this. I reinstalled it after noticing that there were some PCI devices that were unidentified in Device Manager that weren't unknown in previous reinstallations. I then used ArmourCrate to install the latest chipset drivers and while this was being done, the black screen flashing and driver crashing was happening every other second. Once all the drivers were installed, it appeared to stop. Just to be on the safe side, I then flashed the BIOS to the latest stable version from the ASUS website which set everything to BIOS defaults, then switched the PCI-E slots both to Gen 3. I haven't had another GPU driver crash since. Even old games like Unreal Tournament were locking up every five seconds before this but now I've tried that and Bioshock Infinite and both run glass smooth with Bioshock running on Ultra settings. I'll test Titanfall 2 next, and go from there. I left power settings in NVidia Control Panel on Prefer Maximum Performance, but I have turned GPU Acceleration back on in Chrome and have had no issues since, and no applications have been blocked from using GPU hardware since. I'll try switching to Gen 4 in BiOS to see if that is sustainable as well but at least I know how to configure it to keep things running perfectly now. |

Actually, so much for that update. Woke up today and it's back doing this again. This time it was opening Outlook that caused it. Sigh.

Strangely enough, this problem seems to happen in streaks. If it happens once, it tends to happen multiple times. But once it does and I reboot the computer, it doesn't happen again. So I've taken to starting the computer, then immediately rebooting it as soon as it gets into Windows. And when I've done that, it runs the entire day without black screening once.
Can't figure it. Weirdest thing. |

Thanks for the update. You can leave the pc on without issues. A lot of people do it. I had mine powered up the whole year in 2020 until I was able to diagnose and fix a hardware problem in the boot process. (one of 2 psus was not providing the gpus with enough juice at boot up and failing the process. eliminated it and no more issues.) |

Yep I traditionally leave mine on all day because I'm on it (work in IT) but then also during the evenings without issue. Been doing that for decades. But it looks like this is finally beaten actually. The combination of everything I did has resulted finally in my not having had a GPU driver crash now in two weeks. Runs perfectly in every application and just in time for Mass Effect Legendary Edition to show up, which it also plays beautifully. I've updated my gaming rig! |

Thanks! I think I've got it licked now! It would be interesting to find out why it doesn't work the first time it boots though. My best guess is that it is loading so fast that it's displaying in Windows and making DirectX calls before the driver has actually loaded or that the drivers are only partially loading, but then that behavior should repeat every time it reboots, shouldn't it? The only thing I can think is different on a subsequent reboot is heat buildup, but this is a solid state device - it doesn't have to warm up like a combustion engine. Oh well. |

There is probably a capacitor not loading enough juice on the first go around. lol |
