Freezing/BSOD DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION

Lightning13 · Sep 30, 2024

I cannot connect it directly as is. I will probably have to take apart my case a bit and reconnect the loop.

I’m in a small form factor PC, Formd T1. All water cooled, custom loop. But if the issue is the riser cable again then I will definitely reconsider my case and having to use a riser cable.

I’ve had this card in another build for about a year prior, so I just don’t think my GPU just went bad all of the sudden but it’s not impossible.

Maybe not but your BSODs are in that graphics area so something isn't right there.

It IS worth trying back-level versions of the driver, as I suggested earlier, try the last three back-level versions (with DDU in between). If it BSODs on all these and the most recent one (so it BSODs on the four most-recent versions of the driver) then it's most likely a hardware issue; the card, the riser cable, the power cable, or the port on the motherboard.

Did you get a log with Speedfan?

In the first post, you wrote to have updated the BIOS, but the latest log shows an older one (2611 - 2024/04/17); most recent is 3035 - 2024/09/09 (or 3040 beta - 2024/09/18).
Updating BIOS and chipset drivers could improve stability (i.e., less crashes/bsods).

So I updated BIOS and chipset drivers, no luck.

I rolled back to the last few nvidia drivers, no luck.

I ran SpeedFan and my GPU idled at 33 went up to 63 and maxed out at 75, settling at 73 just before the crash.

I just took apart my build in attempt to plug my GPU directly into my motherboard. Get it all together and no post. Check my connections, no post once again.

Unplug my GPU, no post. Then no power at all.

Tested PSU, working. Tried again to turn on system, no power.

Seems like my motherboard got fried..

Scratch that, it was just the power button not working since I unscrewed the motherboard(left one screw in) so it lost the grounding.

I got it to boot, ran benchmark and still crashing with error x133. So I guess I will look into RMA’ing my GPU…

IMO the GPU is the most likely culprit.

So my friend was kind enough to let me borrow his GPU to test and I got no crashing with his GPU, 4070 Super.

RIP 4090

And did he test your rtx 4090?

No, but I can try it.

Lightning13 · Oct 3, 2024

Alright so, tested my GPU on his PC. It works.

So his GPU works on my PC but mine doesn’t. My GPU works on his or at least I can’t get it to crash.

So what is the problem?????? This is beyond frustrating.

Lightning13 · Oct 3, 2024

The only difference is that I took it out of the water block and back into the OEM heat sink. Plugged in the fans and LEDs, but surely that wouldn’t cause problems right??

I would say I can just try to RMA my GPU and motherboard just to see if anything is wrong. But my motherboard is ASUS and I’ve heard nothing but bad experiences with their customer service.
