Looks like I am late to the discussion, but a comment from
my post talking about my related issue brought me here. My specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7 10700k
Motherboard: MSI Z490 Unify
GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra
Memory: HyperX Fury 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 CL16
Storage: 2x(1TB) Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2
1x(2TB) Barracuda HDD
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W P2
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black
Fans: (Front Intake) 2x140mm Noctua NF-A14 PWM chromax.black
(Rear Exhaust) 1x120mm Noctua NF-S12A PWM chromax.black
Case: Fractal Meshify C
After a couple of days, while trying to load up SteamVR (possible power transient for the GPU?) my system shut down completely and wouldn't boot up. Read my post for the details if you wish, but I ended up testing the GPU and PSU with my other system and determined the 3080 to be faulted. I just (a few minutes ago) got my RMA 3080 in the mail. I am very hesitant to install it because I am not 100% convinced it was just a bad card. Reading a post like this one makes me question the PSU as well. I just made
another post asking about PSU cables, I am worried about every little detail at this point.
