Check PCIe power on the GPU is securely seated. If the PSU is modular, check the PSU side as well. How old is the GPU and what model?

xShawn

It's securely seated, I have a RTX 3060 KO V2 Overclocked Dual Fan 12gb that was refurbished (bought from microcenter) and its 6 months old

That's not an Nvidia driver crash. Do you have an AMD CPU with the IGP enabled?

xShawn

I have an AMD Ryzen 5600x and if you don't mind me asking how would I enable it if its disabled?

@xShawn

No IGP on that CPU. BSOD is AMD Primary Processor Module. Run this and post a screenshot please.:

Seems like its a watchdog problem

@xShawn

That's definitely an Nvidia driver crash. Grab MSI Burner and lower the core clock by 150-200MHz. See if it stabilizes. Not a fix, but it'll confirm the GPU is defective.

xShawn

Thank you, lowered it how do I check if it stabilizes? I believe the gpu is defective because it's been happening 2 months after I got the refurbished gpu (5/8/24)

Just play some games and see what happens. Very likely a hardware issue. Always worth trying a clean install with DDU as well.
