It occurs occasionally, maybe 20% of game exits (or possibly slightly higher than that recently), but only in fullscreen games. It has happened in many different games, but I think all of the events have been in Steam (although I don't play many games in other launchers). Recently it has happened multiple times in It Takes Two and Horizon: Zero Dawn, the two games I have been playing recently.Does it happen every time, or occasionally, specific games or all games?
Have you looked in the event viewer after the reset to see if there's anything useful there?
Do you have auto-hdr enabled? Was this happening before Window's auto HDR update? From your description, it kinda sounds like an HDR issue. You can try disabling HDR and see if the crashes still occur in the two games you've mentioned. It could also be an Nvidia Driver bug; in that case, you'd have to wait on Nvidia to fix it.It occurs occasionally, maybe 20% of game exits (or possibly slightly higher than that recently), but only in fullscreen games.

I have not looked in the event viewer, but that is a good idea I guess.
The GPU driver should have been cleanly reinstalled when I reinstalled windows 10 a couple of days ago
No auto-hdr. That was why I reinstalled windows 10 actually, I did not like the test version of windows 10. It is a good idea to try to disable HDR, though.Do you have auto-hdr enabled?

I'd say go for it if your 1600 is not keeping you at the level of performance you want, but I also dont know if you'd need a new mobo to take advantage or not. I guess, does your budget justify the jump?Is it worth to upgrade my ryzen 1600 to a ryzen 3600? It's at 194€ right now
What store/site is that?Month two of waiting in the queue for a series 30x GPU. They've moved me up by one pip in the last month. Progress? Who knows.
See y'all in May, I guess.
PLE Computers, an Australian-based shop. It has the lowest price for this particular EVGA card (still marked up $200 AUD above SRP though).What store/site is that?
Have you tried unplugging the GPU and reseating it in the mobo?For some reason, some days, my Aorus Elite mobo has this red LED turned on. On the manual it says there's an issue with 'VGA', but I do have video signal on my monitor. When I reboot the light goes away. It doesn't happen every time, but I've never be able to find out why this happens. I'm sure I've seen this issue with another Gigabyte mobo I used to own.
Yup, I always do that when I clean my PC.Have you tried unplugging the GPU and reseating it in the mobo?
I've seen this issue when the monitor is switched off while powering on the pc, turn the monitor on first and see if it's "solved" this way.For some reason, some days, my Aorus Elite mobo has this red LED turned on.

You should be able to sell it for $700, easy.Currently about to put my MSI GTX 1070 on Ebay. Aiming for $350.
I paid $439 for it in 2016.
Yeah cheers, turns out it looks like it was a cable not quite attached properly (or maybe some dust in the connection). Hes got it working now but thanks for the response.I'd get them to recheck the cabling, pull out the gfx card if there is one, test the PSU on another PC if possible.
It could be the power surge has blown something on the motherboard too. Ask them to give the motherboard and PC components a look to see if there's any obvious scorching or bulging caps etc.
M.2 SSD drives come in two flavours SATA and NVMe and NVMe is the newer, faster protocol but is usually more expensive.ROG Strix Z390-F Gaming features dual M.2 slots. One slot supports both SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4 modes, and the other slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe. Together, they give you the fastest and most-flexible M.2 interface available.
Good to know I'll look into it further, as that would certainly be a hindrance. thank you for the heads up.gabbo If you can find a decent big name prebuilt system for cheap and can use it without too many changes they're usually a bargain.
However, the problem with big name prebuilt systems like HP/Dell/Lenovo etc is that they sometimes use proprietary connectors, limit power levels and just have odd design decisions to stop people doing exactly what you plan to do.
We've had HP machines that you couldn't swap anything apart from drives and RAM due to various motherboard or component changes they made. So it's not just off the shelf components you can just swap over. Check what model you're looking at and see if there's any changes they've made that will spoil your plans.
Though i think OEMs have been better about this in recent years it's still something to check.
