Windows 10: Monitor going blank when I put my PC under stress Whole playing games/running a stress test

PC: Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen EditionCPU: Ryzen 9 5900GPU: RTX 3080 10GBRAM: 32 GBI was playing fine until when I was playing a game Fortnite it started glitching, and restarting, so I ran a stress test Pass mark 3D Test and it passed the DX 9, 10 and 11, but as soon as it reached the DX12 graphics test, it did the same thing, glitching and the monitor going blank. So I changed the port from Display port to HDMI, and ran a stress test Passmark I did the 3D Test and it passed the DX9, 10 11, and DX12 tests and I thought it was working but then it was doing the 3D Compute tests doing frac

Freeze then watch dog timeout BSOD when stress testing

Whenever I performed a stress test with OCCT or Intel XTU or ran intel diagnostic utility, my computer would freeze then get BSOD with watch dog timeout. I did a new install of windows and now I can run the intel diagnostic utility without freezing and the CPU passes all tests. But I still get the freeze then watchdog timeout if running cinebench stress test, OCCT stress tests or Intel XTU stress tests. I ran the windows memory diag tool and memory checks out ok. I also bought a new PSU to ensure that wasn't the problem either. PC is stable when playing games - its just stress testing that I get the BSOD.

 

BSOD when Playing Games - Stress tests do not cause BSOD

Hello Community!

I present to you... a weird one.

I have a brand new AORUS 15P i7 3080 Laptop that crashes and studders during games... only sometimes.

My Background. I work full time in the IT industry and have been for the last 7 years in a senior role. General troubleshooting, MS administration and and helpdesk, along with other roles here and there. around 5 years has been spent in hardware alone, so i know my way around the insides and outsides of a machine to say the least.

If you can fix this for me, you will have my respect (my 0 points on MS answers are something to gloat about).

I have attempted many fixes.

I have:

- reinstalled OS using built in recovery partition

- Reinstalled using blank version of windows 10

- Upgraded to windows 11 from blank install

- Ran Decrappifier script

- Confirmed all drivers are up to date

- Reinstalled all games

- Ran memory tests

- Ran stress tests (Graphics, CPU, Memory)

- Unplugged peripherals and used the bare requirements

- Re-seated memory and tested individual sticks in case tests didn't pick up issue

- Confirmed that there is no over heating issue (approx 70 degrees C when playing games)

This happens when:

- Playing graphic intense games such as Tarkov, Overwatch on epic settings, etc.

This doesn't happen when:

- performing stress tests of any kind, for any amount of time

Temp fixes:

- Sometimes playing full screen fixes issue (I normally play borderless windowed fullscreen)

- None have worked truly, this is a very intermittent issue, happens maybe once in every 2-3 gaming sessions

Before you say "sent it to get fixed", This is Gigabyte... need I say more. I would like my PC fixed within a month, thank you.

Anyway, I will post Updates as i go, otherwise... Please feel free to suggest anything, I will tell you if I have tried it, or how it goes.

Thanks!

Jonti.
