Hi All, Update to close off this thread :) The issue was a compatibility issue seen with my CPU on the Z490 motherboard. The PCI-e lane speeds were set to auto by default in the BIOS and this was causing issues as the CPU was trying to run gen4 speeds but the motherboard can only run gen3...

Still with PCS at the moment. Once it's back, hopefully with the problem resolved, I'll update this thread.

Crashed again a few minutes ago. I agree, not much else I can think of trying at this point. Thanks again for all the assistance everyone. I really appreciate it! I will reach out to PCS and see what they say (y)

Thanks again for checking the mem dump. Really appreciate it! So I've run memtest and no errors were found on any of the four passes. The GPU failing the same way a second time around would be crazy unlucky :( Especially that it's a different brand. What about updating the motherboard BIOS?

No worries, thanks guys. Creating the memtest boot drive now.

Hey Scott, So for the reinstall, yes, complete reinstall, deleted all partitions and started from scratch. I've run the windows memory diagnostic for the RAM and no errors are reported. I had another crash this afternoon on a previous driver version (471.41) so as a last ditch effort I've...

Uninstalled on day one :) Was the first thing I did when receiving my PC as I saw so many mentions of it causing trouble.

Update, reseating seemed to be the fix until last night. Same crash unfortunately. I've uninstalled all video drivers with DDU and have rolled back driver version to 471.41 which was the version that was installed when my PC was returned from RMA.

Lovely, will give it a go this evening. Thanks again!

Hi Ubuysa, Thank you for the analysis, much appreciated. I was actually thinking of rolling back the driver versions. Would you suggest the driver rollback test before reseating the M.2 drive? No overclocks or undervolting since my PC was received back from RMA. No third party AV, only...

Hi All, Looking for some advice please and wondering if anyone has seen the issue I'm having at the moment? Failure scenario: Playing a game, any game really. Screen goes black, I still have audio for 5 - 15 seconds and then the PC restarts. This happens intermittently, I've sometimes had...

Will do, thanks Martin.

Hi All, Just wondering what kind of lead time I'd be looking at if I was to order a PC with an RTX 3070?
