GPU upgrade is causing all sorts of problems that look possibly CPU related

As in an entirety different model of CPU or just another of the same one? I can get another of the same CPU I have for around $20 on ebay used.

definitely doesn't hurt to try if you can get a replacement that cheap.

I'm leaning about the same way as others; either something with the CPU or PSU are starting to go bad (maybe all the jiggling around during the upgrade/swaps finally got the issue showing its face) (or perhaps the RTX was too much for the PSU causing a section to start to fail; PSUs can be wonky to pin down if they're the culprit sometimes just because there's not always a way to replicate the bad fluctuation)

You're not overclocking anything are you?

Nope! Pretty sure this system won't even let me overclock anything, although I suppose I could still overclock the GPU, but nah I am running stock settings even on that. Don't even have any overclocking software installed.

Well, I am very certain it's not the GPU now. Because I put in a temporary GT 720 while I figure this out since I still need the PC for non-gaming tasks.... and it was working fine for about a week... and then crashed TWICE in the exact same way even though the GT720 is powered purely off the PCIe port. 

 So now it could be the CPU, or the RAM, or the Motherboard... there is also a chance it could be the PSU.

.... I ordered a used barebones T5810 and a CPU and RAM for it... those cost about as much as replacing all of those parts would have in this thing. I can worry about finding out what's wrong with it when I don't actually need it and can afford to take it down for days of testing.

... and if that T5810 somehow manages to give me the same issues I am putting my head through a brick wall.

    • I would not mind paying 120 up to 150 dollars in this economy value of the dollar currency if their video game is quite breathtaking and excellent use of my hard earned work money. I think people need to appreciate all the effort workers and time that goes into excellent and worthy video games. Now if only the publishers and companies behind the video games would share the love with the developers those at the bottom of work making such games happen as in increase their money accounts and give them a more richer life that I wish would have happened . But how companies have bad reputation of being $$$ profit greedy I feel sad if there are any developers that feel unappreciated as in no real compensation for all the hours of work they put into a blockbuster hit . Have a great day everyone . Thank you developers engineers and programmers that make superb video games happen . You have my thanksgiving and I hope you really really appreciate my words . With you all about this
    • I guess they use the free version, which doesn't send money to any Russians.
    • True, you can pin it to the Start Menu, but my preference is to pin it to the Taskbar since I am using W11 on a desktop with a large display and a lot of space on the Taskbar.
    • 200 mph. Try going 200 mph with a vehicle on a street in any city in America. Good luck. Yes its speculation but so is the idea that it has been 100% approved by the government. When a new drug is under development it goes through a number of test phases, each of increasing efficacy and safety. I would imagine it is the same in this case. You can similuate real conditions on test roads with other cars and if successful on test roads you move it to the next test phase of testing it on real streets with human assistance if needed. Testing conditions on test roads can never account for all real life situations on real roads. This is what I imagine is happening now. The final test phase.
