![]() The only thing that would be any different is if the miner messed with the gpu bios but her gpu was in my system so if that was the case wouldn’t it be subject to the same issue? And with a new install of windows and an SSD even if it was the miner it’s gone now. We have identical drivers, firmware updates, etc. ![]() As for the other 3 programs my girl has all of those too but the problem only happens on my system. I was worried the miner was causing issues but that’s not on this new SSD. But on this new install I only put on armory crate, precision x1, and Nvidia GeForce. On the original gpu I was using several programs that may have caused issue, I had asus armory crate, precision x1, Nvidia GeForce, and nice hash crypto miner. So that’s partially why I did a whole new install of windows on a new SSD. 2tb inland NVMe SSD changed to 512gb inland NVMe SSD ![]() Asus ROG gaming wifi b550 changed to Asus tuf gaming x570 Could I be the CPU or RAM? Could it be something in the GPU bios or mobo bios? Could it be the power coming from the wall (our lights dim when there are large power draws)? But then why was it fine for 4 months? Could using my old SSD first create an issue? Could having 2 Asus motherboards be causing this? It’s basically a whole new pc now and I’m stuck. Before you ask, yes, I’ve cleared fans of obstructions and this is not mechanical in any way. I’ve done a fresh install of windows and drivers. ![]() So what the heck do I do now? I’ve replaced everything but the CPU and RAM. Fire up the game and within 5 minutes hear the familiar click yet again. Downloaded a fresh install of windows and only downloaded Asus armory crate, evga precision x1, Nvidia GeForce (for the drivers), Steam, and the game (Insurgency: Sandstorm). My next best guess was maybe there was some software on my SSD that caused it somehow. Fire up the game and the new gpu starts clicking. I get the new gpu and mobo, do the swaps, pop in my same SSD, I have done zero software changes at this point. So I buy a new motherboard and RMA the GPU. They tell me the motherboard likely damaged the GPU and they should both be replaced. So what I do then is go to microcenter and ask the pc repair desk. The clicking stops in her pc once I get her card back in. While I had her card in my computer, the clicking continued. Here’s the kicker, while I had my gpu in her computer the clicking was now happening in her computer. So I swap the GPUs and test out the game. I test her system to make sure there’s no clicking, no issues. So at this point I don’t have another motherboard but I do have access to my girlfriends exact same GPU. So at this point I say it’s got to have something to do with the GPU or the motherboard. It wouldn’t turn on again until I turned off the PSU in the back and turned it on again. So I ignore it for a while, one day, just a few days later, my pc shuts down while playing phasmaphobia. ![]() So next I try swapping my fan hub because it was a junk one, no change clicking continues. Most of them tell me if it’s a clicking sound the PSU is dying. I turn to google and read every forum I could find. The game it happened most on was insurgency: sandstorm. It only happens when gaming and at random intervals but it seems some games cause it more consistently. It kind of sounds like an electrical click and I can’t put my finger on what’s causing it. In August I notice a strange clicking noise coming from my pc while I’m gaming. We are both enjoying gaming on our cards for several months (April to August no issues). My girlfriend got the same card at the same time as me. So this all started when I got my evga rtx 3080 ftw 3 ultra. Okay this is a long one stick with me, please read it all. ![]()
