Hey all,
I wanted to provide an update. I completed an RMA and swapped the motherboard but I'm still hitting this issue (along with the sound popping).
I've gone through and run tests on the RAM with memtest and windows built in ram test. I've also booted with only one stick and tested with that. Everything's a pass. (And even swapped with a replacement kit which passed too)
I've tested the CPU with Prime95 (with and without AVX). I let those run for 2 hours on each test. Everything passed. No hard locks or crashes.
I'm currently running FurMark on my EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra (LHR). I'll keep you updated there.
I'm at a loss here as my graphics drivers will randomly crash while working in Autodesk's Maya. I've done a clean install of Windows and NVIDIA's drivers and verified with "sfc /scannow".
It seems the only stability I can get is if I change my PCI gen type to GEN3. Could this point to a bad 3080?
EDIT: FurMark ran for 2 hours, no locks or driver crashes.
