Hi, I've own a GTX 1080 SC, and within the last 2 weeks I've been getting very odd crashes/freezing in games. I am Custom Water Cooled, so it is not an overheating issue the GPU sits around 43-44c and VRAM has pads on it, it happens very often now to the point I can't play anything even League of Legends (which is not demanding at all) for more than 30~minutes before the crash happens. The crash is a full system freeze for about 3-5s then the game either freezes/crashes. Some games can come back but most crash very shortly after. The most recent error is: DXGI ERORR DEVICE REMOVED ERROR, which is the GPU being "removed" but plugged back in and the drivers recovered. The system is able to recover but the game crashes, or locks up until force closed. I've only experienced one Black Screen, the issue the FTW was having but I do not think this is the same thing.
I've re-mounted the GPU 3 times now, and I can 100% say it is plugged in correctly.
I am running the latest Nvidia drivers + the most recent BIOS that fixed the overheating.
Has anyone experienced the same thing?
