Think I've found a solution for Asus mobos and Nvidia cards.
Just to be sure, I clean installed Windows 10 again.
I have an Asus Ranger VII mother board and Gigabyte GTX 1080ti
Did a lot of elimination and what has worked for me now was:
- In BIOS, set "Multicore Enhancement" from Auto to Disabled.
*** Multicore Enhancement sets max Turbo Boost and voltage up too all cores at the same time. Unless you need your CPU to be maxed all doing not much at all... turn this off.
- Right click desktop, click NVIDIA Control Panel, Click Manage 3D setting, scroll down to Power management mode, set to "Prefer maximum performance" and once done click Apply in the bottom right hand corner.
These settings have worked so far for me. Been able to play for hours with no crashing or exiting to desktop with no errors popping up.
Had tried:
- "Clean boot and no UAC" fix - failed
- No overclock on CPU and underclocking GPU - failed
- Lowering resolution and graphics setting - failed
I hope these settings help you out.
I've had this issue for quite some time and was really irritating me. I stumbled across a JayzTwoCents video about overlocking Pascal based graphics cards and Asus multicore enhancement, and it just clicked. I was probably drawing too much power for the CPU going full ham on all cores all the time. And was probably reaching a default power cap for the GPU regardless of using any overclocking software tweaks or not.
