I’m facing a strange and frustrating issue with my RTX 3080 where the GPU usage randomly drops to 0%, causing a brief system freeze before returning to normal. This happens unpredictably across different applications like DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro. Sometimes it occurs once in a few hours, while other times, it happens multiple times in a short span.
In addition to video editing, I also work on SEO blogging, manage billing websites, and run gaming websites. Due to this, I frequently open multiple applications and browser tabs simultaneously. I’ve noticed that my system tends to lag more often when multitasking, but the GPU drop issue happens even when only one application is running.
I have already checked temperatures, reinstalled drivers (clean install), updated the system, and monitored background processes, but the issue persists. Since I haven’t found similar reports online, I’m hoping someone here might have encountered this or can suggest a possible fix. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
