While playing Control, the computer randomly shuts down and I have to manually boot it again. The first time I started the game, the computer crashed as soon as I loaded in. The second crash happened after about 15 minutes of gameplay. It's not a blue screen, it's a complete shutdown. It wasn't doing this when I was using my 1070 just yesterday. Has anyone else dealt with this and fixed it?

    Overheating, card issue, or psu issue.

    PSU is brand new and was working perfectly fine with my 1070. I'm seeing people say 750W power supplies aren't enough when the card spikes. I'll keep an eye on the temps and see if it's overheating, but so far it's been running at about the same temp as my 1070 ± 1 or 2 degrees.

    If it shuts down, check your temperatures while in the BIOS. I saw this happen with our 3090 FTW3 ULTRA when I had it in a smaller form factor case with worse airflow (until it was corrected) and the motherboard was getting up to 95C despite being completely fine and cool while under a 2080 Ti. The 3000 series is definitely warmer with a higher power draw so it's something to look into.

    A complete shut down is either overheating or a PSU issue 90% of the time.  Based on the fact that you have a eVGA 750W Gold PSU, which is a known "does not work" PSU with 3080s across many many reports of issues with it, I'd say test a different power supply that's beefier if you have access to one.

    I'll keep on eye on the mobo temps. Thanks!

    Yeah, based on all of the issues I'm seeing crop up with 750W EVGA power supplies, I'll try out this 850W that came with the card and see what happens. Thanks!

    Yeah, it was the PSU shutting down whenever there was a spike from the 3080. Played for an hour without any issues using the 850W. Thanks, everyone!

    My system only crashed with my 3090 once when I had stock cooling fan curves and I suspect it got too hot. I opened my case and turned up all my fans and now my system runs like a perfect little miracle. I suspect a lot of people's issues have been heat. Systems seem to get hot fast with these 30 cards in them.

    Sheesh. I have an EVGA 750 G3 in my main rig with a 2080, and just upgraded my HTPC to an RTX3080 XC3 Ultra. Was going to put the 750 G3 in the HTPC and buy a cheaper PSU for the main rig (since it’s really overkill), but glad I didn’t now. Went ahead and splurged on an RM850x for the HTPC w/ RTX3080. That’s really disappointing to hear! I thought when I bought the 750 G3 I was good to go for any single GPU upgrade for several years!
     
    Glad you got it figured out either way, but man that doesn’t really inspire a whole lot of confidence in my G3...

    Are you guys running 3 separate PCIE/Power Cables to your cards?  I was doing 2, using both the 8 pin connecters on 1 cable and i started Black screening every game.   As soon as I switched to 3 separate worked again, cools better now too.

    Ever since I switched from my old Cooler Master Cosmos case to the NZXT H510 Elite case I'm using currently, I've noticed that the GPU temps on my 2080 Ti are roughly about 5F - 10F hotter then they were in the older case. Once I landed a 3090 @ MSRP, I decided to go all out and replace all the fans in my case with Noctua 3000rpm fans.
     
    You can also buy a bracket off of Amazon that allows you to install dual 120mm fans in an PCI slot(preferably just under your GPU). The one I got is called a "Maxmoral Dual Fan Mount Rack PCI Slot". Was $8.99 - attached 2 of those Noctua 120mm 3000rpm fans to it.
     
    Noise? of course!
