My 3070 has random black screens while gaming

TheRottenTiger · Jul 19, 2024

I tried to reinstall drivers and reseating GPU and also lowering power limit to 70% and that worked for some time but after 4 months it started again and now I don't know what to do.
My PC:
CPU: RYZEN 5 2600
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX 3070
PSU: GIGAMAX 650 (don`t think that`s the problem so i`ll change it when i have money)

If you have any suggestions for fixes please write them

Try a new better PSU from a well known reputable brand.

after when you changed the limit how it affected the perfomance?

when problems started and it didn`t affect performance or I didn`t notice

Is this the Zalman Gigamax 650 watt ?

plz give full name of power supply if possible

That PSU is not good and the culprit here - replace it with something gold rated and w/ a 10+ year warranty.

Download OCCT and run the GPU stability test.

Assuming you get crashes, start by removing the GPU and reseating it, sometimes that all it takes.

If you still get crashes, use MSI afterburner to reduce the card's power limit to as low as it'll go and re-run OCCT. That should help regain stability if the GPU's factory OC or PSU are starting to struggle.

Furmark or Kombustor are also excellent GPU stress tests, but OCCT keeps a log that you can check after a crash, so it's more useful if you know your system is going to crash in the first place.

I thinks that`s the name of the psu

basco · Jul 19, 2024

how old is it ?
there are different versions of this like 1,2,3 or I, II, III
but i think it should not be of too bad quality - did not see a lot of reviews

how are your temps during gaming - maybe ya can post a screenshot of gpu-z sensor page

Get the free version of HWinfo and run it when you are gamming and see what your Temps and Voltages are during your session. You can even set it to log during your session as well, the log will help you pinpoint what the issue is, whether it is one of the voltage rials dropping out or the card is overheating.

Replace the psu with a Good unit, dont be cheap about it. If your problem resolves great, if not, keep the good psu and replace the gpu. Bad psus damage parts over time.

My first suspect is the PSU. Can you swap in a known good PSU to test before buying a new PSU?

Sometimes if you listen people you ll end by changing your whole pc then still have the same issue. (Your PSU is enough so far)
I had random black screen that i fixed by just using hdmi 2.1 cable (i was using 2.0 one) my resolution/frequency was too high for it.

The recommended minim supply for your video card is a 750 watt, look at the tech specs here.

I would still run HWinfo to make sure you do not have any other underlying issues.

Here is GPU-Z log cuz i dk why but i can`t attach HWinfo log

This is the log before I got black screen today on gou intensive game (Ghost of Tsushima)

Change the HWinfo log from .csv to .txt and see if you can post then.

Also, take a pic or two of the inside and front of your system, as looks like you are over heating with a hotspot temp of 107.1 C. Your voltage rails look solid at 12.2V and stay pretty constant.

See what your memory Junction temp is in the HWinfo log and post it if you can not upload the log it self.
