Guys like you I’ve been pulling out my hair and I now look like fryer tuc! I came across a video and now I’m wondering if too much PCIE draw from the board is the issue? Here is the vid  ideally we need a good response from Evga directly as I trust Evga but my confidence in there Graphics card product is being eroded. And I’m in two minds to tell scan switch to a new product as I’ve lost faith in this one! And I would rather wait a month for a more expensive card ie ASU’s Rog Strix, I’m fed up paid so much waited so long and no official feed back from EVGA at all it’s like they have buried there head in the sand!!! i might be wrong with this conclusion but until some top bod comes on here and says otherwise and they know what the problem is I’ll chalk it down to hardware problem, so I’ll be looking at a new company, I’ve been Evga ever since my brother told me they where good but these problems requires an official response @Jacob Freeman where are you?!

Two things.
1. If the idle crashing in browser would have to do anything withe PCIE power draw, why isnt it crashing in games, when the power draw is multiple times bigger?
2. Not just EVGA cards are affected. I saw posts with nearly every other brand. 
 

 
My Card was crashing in game CP2077, the only game that was played on the card and it only started doing it after 15 hours of play and that’s over 3 or 4 days. Now I was able to play CP2077 after repeatedly mounting and I mounting it then just pulled it out and left it for a hour as it completely dropped from the motherboard. Then it started working well able to play the game but soon exiting to desktop it crashed. Ive not got the time and inclination to be messing with a £1700 card.
 
I’ve only seen this with EVGA, I’ve searched ASUS and the crashing issues were the first ones with the high over boosting drivers. Unless you can provide a like? I would love it not to be a hardware thing and would love to have my EVGA card but man all I want to do is game and right about now I have no faith in the card and well Evga are not reassuring anymore about this issue.

While I await for a new PSU I decided to remove my 3080 and go back to my 1080, which never had any issue. Now I'm experiencing the exact same problems (even after a clean driver reinstall), the moment I start gaming the nvidia driver stops responding. For now I'm inclined to think this is a combination of windows and nvidia drivers. Now I'm on my way to format windows and see if this issue persists on a clean install with my 1080.

  Well that's interesting, thanks for the update. Let us know how it goes with the fresh Windows install.

Yes thanks for the info, so we are back to drivers? Problem is we are just stabbing in the dark the big boys are not talking ie Nvidia or Evga. Let us know how the clean install goes. As I’ve tried ddu with different GPU drivers non solve the issue last one i had on was 460.97 Hotfix 
 

This is beyond frustrating, here's what I did:
 
-With my 1080 (which never showed errors before).
-Installed Windows 10 from scratch (Drive formatted).
-Installed Nvidia's latest drivers (460.97)
-Installed Steam and Dragon Quest XI (Latest game I was trying before the reinstall).
 
It crashed almost instantly. To add more detail since some people is getting different issues here; my error is getting the black screen while everything else works, and I don't recover monitor output until I restart the system. There are no hard crashes, the driver times out, be the OS keeps running. I'm beginning to worry something related to the hardware got borked thanks to the 3080, It's getting harder to find a good explanation, and I'm running out of options to test.
May check going back to 60Hz and see if this keeps crashing..

Going to uninstall Geforce Experience and test..

Disabled G-Sync and uninstalled Geforce Experience, the game has been running for more than 15 minutes now with no issues (before this it crashed in less than 1 minute of gameplay). May be too soon to say but i'm making progress. I will definitely wait for the new PSU before trying to use the 3080, mine is a platinum 750w one but it's 10 years old.
 
I'm totally out of my area of experience but I wonder if the monitor was somehow retaining any settings from the 3080? I never had issues with g-sync before with my 1080.

i don't think the issue is with power draw, at least not in my case? i'll take a screenshot next time this happens to show what my symptom is like. basically each program's border loses its graphics and would look like windows xp's border 😂. i'm trying one last thing which is to run the card normally without any OC but with a fan curve but i really don't think this will do anything since this GPU connection lost issue happens ONLY when i'm not gaming, just idling or using a browser.
 
EDIT: another thing i might try is to run just the single G-sync monitor and see what happens. I notice whenever this issue happens the second monitor goes dark completely while the main one still works but with no GPU powering it.

i think so as I never install GeForce experience, seems to work one min and then start crashing, so not even a clean os do you have access to a none Evga card to test? Defo not PSU mine is about 6months to a year Evga 850w platinum

If you are crashing in CP2077, then you have a different problem than most of us. This discussion was about black screening while browsing in idle. I never have instability in games.

PS was trying to highlight its not game related as I see Halo remastered has said to be the cause, it presented itself how in CP2077 after 15hours PX1 installed the new firmware and it lasted in total 4days as I said before it did it in windows after the first CP2077 crash which was none recoverable, then wouldn’t be recognised by the motherboard with the screen displaying no display out which is exactly the same issue, reseating it multiple times didn’t work had it disconnected for a hour it eventually displayed out so I could see window, installed the hot fix driver 460.97 stand-alone driver and changing to performance after DDUing the drivers which made it able to actually load and play CP2077, but it crashes on game exit when you return to windows Home Screen. The instability is every where it’s just random when it does it. I have done and tried fixes hence I’m able to go into more detail.
