So I just got my 3090 a few days ago and I have experienced some hard pc crashing. I have to toggle the PSU switch in order to boot after a crash.
Specifically playing Escape from Tarkov. I don't have any rtx enabled games as I just upgraded from a 1080ti FTW3.

Side note: I ordered some custom pcie cables from CableMods for the 3090. I got 3x pcie 6+2 cables for my PSU, based on their cable generator.
So I got my card on Thursday, got it installed and using the new cable mod cables. Once installed I power up with no issues.
Made sure my Nvidia Geforce drivers were up to date. (I don't have the super latest that Jacob posted about yet)
Installed PX1 and did the firmware update. Right out of the gate, I tried the oc scan, and It just failed. So I ignored that for the time being until I had more time to research into it.
Ran a few raids in Tarkov, no issues.
I used my PC all day Friday for work (rdp to another work station) no issues.
Later in the night, I played Tarkov for roughly 3 hours. I started running into the crashing when I attempted to load into the hideout. Just instant shutdown. No sensor warning/beeping, nothing. Just off. The power led on my case was still illuminated. I had to toggle the PSU switch before I could boot again.
From there, anytime I loaded Tarkov and went into the hideout, full system crash. I tried to have HW monitor and gpu-z open and watch for anything but just instant shutdown. So i rebooted again and shut down like normal.
Today, I booted up, jumped into Tarkov and was able to get into the hideout multiple times with 0 issues. Ran a few raids and hit the hideout each time with no issues.
So I decided to try the OC scan again, and it completed as expected and gave me a suggested oc +200mem +114gpu. So I set it and ran the OC again. Passed with no issues.
From there, I set the power target to 80% and ran a few raids. No issues at all. But I only played for about 2 hours.
So I am concerned and kinda stumped.
I am not sure now if I should be looking into a new PSU with a higher power rating or what.
So now here I am asking the masses. What do you guys think of my situation?
