NEED HELP! - Inno3D Geforce 4070 Ti crashes whole system while buzzing and whining right before.
2So, where to begin: I need your help. It all started with me buying the new Inno3D Geforce 4070 Ti for a sh**load of money at @notebooksbilliger.
I tried it out by playing The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux because it requires little storage space and looks nice. 5 minutes tops the whole system crashed and the computer shut down and restarted. I was pretty shocked and thought that maybe I touched the switch of my multiple socket to which the computer is connected (it sits right under my table). For days nothing happened while playing Return to Monkey Island. So It thought that was just a coincidence. I managed to do all these videos (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLtvQZspn-A6Pfr0fUG-pYekXKvWEi67T) without any problems and played 6 hours of Ghost Recon Breakpoint online.
No problems except that under heavy load the cards gets pretty loud and has some coil whining.
Sometimes it gets really loud and it crackles and buzzes like an old hard drive writing for some seconds. After finishin Return to Monkey Island (Great game btw!!) I bought Metro Exodus and played it for 4-5 hours and the next crashes occured. After 4 crashes on 1 day I reinstalled all Nvidia drivers and looked up the event reports of Windows:
"Quelle: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-PowerDatum: 29.01.2023 13:41:25Ereignis-ID: 41Aufgabenkategorie:(63)Level: CriticalSchlüsselwörter:(70368744177664),(2)Benutzer: SYSTEMThe system was restarted without being shut down properly first.
This error may occur if the system stopped responding or crashed, or the power was unexpectedly interrupted."
So far, so meaningless. In the time span around the crashes there are no interesting events except some LSA protocoll warnings:
"Quelle: LsaSrvDatum: 29.01.2023 13:41:29Ereignis-ID: 6155Aufgabenkategorie:KeineLevel: WarningThe LSA packet is not signed as expected. This may cause unexpected behavior in Credential Guard."
and
"NT Kernel Logger" failure: 0xC0000035 around 2-5 minutes before the crash and throughout the whole time running the system.
I checked all the power Power lines for the card. Everything is okay. Then I tried everything to recreate the crash. Stresstesting the power supply, GPU, CPU, memory via OCCT (https://www.ocbase.com/). Thanks for this great software @ocbaseocct125!!! I tested the GPU, and PC with dxdiag and made a memory check via cmd.exe (It resolved some problems). Nothing.
It only happened while playing Metro, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux and one time while playing It Takes Two while Alt+Tab to desktop. So I thought maybe its not the game and I downloaded INNO3D TuneIT OC (https://www.inno3d.com/en/tunit_ocutility) to let the AI-Scan check my card.
Voila: Everytime I run the AI-Scan the card powers up for some seconds, starts to whine and after 1-2 seconds of loud crackling/buzzing the whole system shut down complety. Every f'ing time. In this video you see the event two times while running the task manager and OCCT. There is a small peak of 140 Watt at the end (2:30) while buzzing, but the cards has 150+150+75 watts available and ran with 285 watts while stresstesting. No problems while idling or using the system for other tasks than gaming...
Has anyone any idea? I think I will return the card, because it has to be a hardware problem...

Thanks in advance!
