I’m also having these issues with a 3080. Ran fine until June 9th then started crashing to black screen and then a reboot. Temps look fine. Now I can’t even launch the game
I have been trying to suggest a unified setting change:
Give that a go and see if it helps at all.
Nothing to do with it. People with AMD cards having the same issue, I’ve got an ASUS TUF and it’s still having problems.

It was a possibility that might affect those with 3080s… I also provided some suggestions to try in my last post here.
I’m sorry so many of you are having issues. But across 3 systems I’m not running into any of these problems, so trying to share what I have been doing in order to help some of you is all.
Good luck.

Had a similar thing with mine but an rtx3090. Ran fine with all the beta’s changed setting to windowed mode and works all the time now. Ran through diagnostics as i expect everyone has done 
hope it helps but who knows
I guess I’ll throw my hat in the ring as well. I’d ran the game in the betas at max ultra settings with no issues ever. Monitored CPU and GPU usage and temps and nothing crazy. All Windows 11 updates, even reinstalled Windows 11. Dropped settings in game to medium, found “fix” that said to go into localprefs.txt and turn DisableChromaEffects “1” from “0”. Latest drivers, also tried the oldest version allowed by game. It is very much hit and miss. Sometimes I have just let it sit on the character selection screen and had it crash, other times I was in middle of a dungeon boss with a lot happening on screen. Unlick what ExElite95 said about putting theirs into windowed mode and having no issues, I have had mine in windowed full screen mode with these issues.

Hi everyone. I have the same problem here with the last alienware rtx 4090. Thé problem appear with WoW too. Sometimes i can play 2h witout problems. Sometimes computer crash 6 7 Times in 20 minutes. I find a way with disconnecting the HDR.
So, my friend has this in Diablo and also Overwatch. I read:
Thé problem appear with WoW too.
So people have this happening in Wow, Overwatch and Diablo 4. The common denominator might be the Battle.net launcher? I’ll ask my friend if he can check by completely closing it during the game(s) but maybe it’s worth trying for you folks as well. I don’t experience the issue but the D4 has degraded since I played last week.
Well, people have been both turning off the browser hardware acceleration, or just shutting down the launcher completely, but this is normally in response to the micro stuttering, or uneven game play when everything else looks like it should be fine.
I had issues with crashing and stuttering with my i7 6770k / 3090 (I know I need to upgrade my cpu). I seemed to have fixed the issue with turning off hardware acceleration on the launcher, turning off 4k textures, limiting my the frame rate to 120fps, and disabling NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency. Seems to work perfect now and my gpu temps are way down. Hope this helps!
I have 5 boxes all running asus GPUs. 2 with 3080TIs, 1 a 2080, 1 a 3090 and the last a 4090. D4 runs fine on the 2080, 3090 and 4090, but crashes both 3080s. One even causes the circuit breaker to trip, 3 times before I decided something was messed up and stopped trying. I play CIV6 for hours on the box that trips the breaker and have never had an issue. For now I’ll avoid using the 3080TIs but that’s crappy IMO.
Considering you have a nice field of machines to play on at least you can play right?
But yeah, the 3080s have the worst track record right now.
Biggest problem for them is heat and power. If they aren’t cooling all the parts of the GPU (especially the VRAM) they get unhappy. And if the power delivery can’t keep up, they will shut down.
3080/3080Ti’s are known for having unpredictable power spikes. Meaning they can overwhelm a PSU.
Its highly recommended that you always pair them with a 1000W PSU or better. And dedicated cables for each power connection. Otherwise, issues will occur. Its probably tripping the breaker because its trying to overdraw the PSU and it shuts down to protect itself.
rubberbanding/crashing a thing even with my old 960TI. Game has played smoothly until today. Now nothing but rubberbanding and disconnects.
That sounds like a internet issue. And no, it doesn’t mean your internet is broken either.
But you can run a WinMTR test and see where that issue is:
Post the results in this thread instead of here, as this was about the crashing, not networking issues.

Well not so much, the 2 are at my cottage 
. But there ae better things to do there.
That’s interesting that the 3080TI is looking for a 1000W PS. I believe my 4090 is paired with an 850W. Looking at Hardware monitor the 4090 is using 23W in windows while the 3090 is using 59W.
Thanks for the reponse!
Ooof.
You need more there. Most places recommend 1000W minimum, 1200 optimum.
My 3070Ti uses nearly 500W at full load at the 12V rails. At the desktop right now? 14W at the rails.
(rails means a total of the 2x 12v cables)
And if I break that 500W down further, assuming even distribution across the pair of cables:
~41Amps per cable.
~10Amps per pair of wires in each cable.
That’s a lot of juice. lol
will go shopping, thanks again
Well, make sure you get a decent quality unit. Never skimp on a PSU. 
gentlemen.
I’ve been playing since the early launch with a 3080 palit and yesterday the crashes started.
yesterday the screen would turn black and the music would still play and I would get a msg from my monitor telling I had no signal from my displayport.
I’ve changed to a hdmi cable, repaired the installation and deleted the .txt file from the documents but after that I’ve played and it lasted a few hours to freeze.
All of the times I had do manually restart.
Is there any thing new about this issue?

Not really no. Lower settings, lighten the load on the GPU, lower the FPS, the quality, even if you have a 3080. In fact, I would because you have a 3080.
Biggest thing, make sure you are running an 850W quality PSU or better. Make sure you are using 2 dedicated 8 PIN cable feeds to the card, and the fans and heatsink is free of hair and dust…
