I've had this happen twice now - I'm playing a game, the system locks up. Reboot the PC and the graphics card is no longer recognised in the BIOS (or Windows), no output to screen. Remove the card, boot up, shut down, insert the card again, and all working fine.
The card is a MSI Radeon RX Vega 56 Air Boost 8GB OC. Not flashed and running at stock settings.
Motherboard is an ASUS Prime X-370 Pro on the latest BIOS (5220).
I also have an Nvidia Quadro M2000 as the 2nd GPU, no problems with this. My main monitor runs off the Vega 56, and the second off the Quadro.
The card came with the Division 2 game, and this is the only game I play on it, and only occasionally. The game's always been quite crashy, sometimes just the game crashes, othertimes the whole PC locks up. But it's not like it crashes every time I play it, maybe 10% of sessions I'll get a crash. I don't think I've ever had the system lockup when not playing the game.
The behaviour of the card disappearing has only happened within the past month or so. Things I've changed in the past few months were putting 2 separate PCI-e power cables into the card instead of previously using both connections from a single cable. And updating the graphics drivers.
When I had the crash today I had only just started the game. The case has good ventilation. So I wouldn't think it's a temperature issue unless it's a spike causing it.
I'm downloading 3D mark with Firestrike at the moment so I can test it with that and see if it causes any issues.
Anyone have any suggestions of things to check / try?
Cheers
