RTX 3090 crashing when trying to export

Hello there. 

 

I feel like i have a weirdest case of GPU crash ever. 2 days ago I bought used RTX 3090 MSI Gaming Trio, I switched from 3060. I switched because 12GB of VRAM wasn't enough sometimes and I was getting BSOD from time to time. Card is running okay under Windows is silent and has about 49° celcious so its cold. Going straight to the point. Whenever I use CUDA Cores for either editing or exporting my PC reset. While editing it happens only when playback runs for like 2-3 mins sometimes less, sometimes it can happen while scrubbing. But it is much worse when I try to export anything. When I press "export" first I see rendering bar and after all audio files are loaded my PC reset and this happens instantly GPU or CPU is not even starting to render, it just reset and that is it. You might assume this is PSU problem (maybe, idk right now). I have clear my cache files, reset my preferences to default, i undervolt my GPU also powerlimit it to 40%, I have installed old drivers and those which are the most recent. I even did format C and in that case Premiere Pro and After Effects prompt that RTX 3090 isnt supported and I need to install newest drivers, so I did. After installing drivers I opened recent project and I got some window where Premire Pro was "initizling gpu". I was hoping that must be it and it should work. None. Again pc reset right after i click "export". Also I can utilize GPU in After Effects with no problem and also I did test render in DaVinci Resolve where GPU was loaded to 100% and render took about 4mins to finish. And my PC didn't reset. I don't know how is that possible but me editing on daily basis and I edit a lot, its so annyoing because iGPU can't even compare to low end GPU. Also when i try to render something with CPU but in "project settings" I have selected "GPU Hardware accelration (CUDA)". I'll also crash, thats madness. I can render only if i either use CPU or CPU+iGPU but first I must select OpenCL in project settings. I know that first thing that comes to mind is that PSU is too weak, but if I can utilize CPU and GPU to about 100% while rendering AE composition in background and rendering in DaVinci Resolve I feel like its impossible that this PSU (which is 1 of the best when it comes to quality) is too weak

My PC

MOBO: AsRock Z790 ProSeries

PSU: Seasonic 650W Platinum

CPU: 13900K

RAM: 2x32GB 3600MHz CL18 (HyperX Fury)

SSD: 3x NVMe (4TB total)

    After a week of searching for solution here it is. PSU it self is kind of "okay". It can handle any high-end GPU but there is some exception. I have read that SeaSonic gold and platinum from Focus series has some issues with peaks that Ampere GPUs produce. Weird case casue SeaSonic is making tier 1 PSUs although it has problem specificly with Ampere. So in order to fix those peaks, you have to set you core voltage to fixed. Download MSI Afterburner, go to Voltage Curve (Curve-Editor Ctrl+F), then press CTRL+L and orange line will appear then by using Tab or Shift+Tab you chance choose what voltage and Core Speed you want. Mine is set to 930mV and 1785Mhz. So im not using the entire power of GPU, im like in the middle of that curve and everything runs smooth. Then you have to save it (small middle disk in main menu) and there you go. Of course the down side is that your temps must be little higher on idle because GPU sits on high voltage that normally you would have on idle. For me its like +6-7°c difference, while rendering is reach about 60° so no big deal. I'm not sure if this can damage your GPU at some point so I recommand to use this method only if you actually use your GPU (like editing) then you can turn it off. Because in my opinion if we can set CPU to fixed Voltage then it shouldn't be a problem for GPU aswell. Especially that we are not even close to use all power.
