Faulty Palit GTX 1070?

mine crashed at the end of a benchmark. Artifacts all over the screen. Pretty much dead after that
I had this kind of issue with my GTX460.
Bought from here. Installed (replacing a HD4850). Crashed under load (after about a minute of benchmarking). I was told by Overclockers that I could return it, and they would test it. If no fault was found, it would be returned and I would be charged the delivery cost (and I seem to remember there being a testing fee, but I can't remember for sure). Rather than risk the time and expense, I took the card to a friend's house to test in his PC which I had built for him. Cheaper PC than my own, with a cheap power supply, so I was doubtful if the card would work properly anyway. It worked fine in his machine, even with a mild overclock applied to the card. Took it to another friend's house and tried it in her PC, worked perfectly. Put it back into my PC and did a clean Windows 7 install. Same problem. Put my old card back in my PC, that worked fine. Thought it was my PSU, replaced with a spare one, still crashed.
So, has anyone any ideas what the problem turned out to be ?
If op is confident enough(bearing in mind mistakes/conflicts/incompatibilities can be overlooked) in their self testing, it's perfectly reasonable and within his rights to reject it for a full refund if they indeed find no fault their end.
Urgh there is a massive thread on another forum of people getting the same problem with Palit 1070s across the whole model range where it works fine for the first 1-2 days then dead or massive artefacts. Dunno how I missed it before though it is a pretty new thread.
Wish I'd done that.
Although I doubt the cost of return delivery would probably not be refunded.

Link please? I'm definitely not getting another Palit if that's the case.
That doesn't sound good.
1-2 people claiming the artefacting only affects 368.22-69 drivers on Windows 10 but not sure on that - I'm on 7 using 368.95 and no problems... so far but early days yet.
Not sure I can link due to potential competitor linkage. Pretty easy to find googling Palit GTX1070 problem or Palit GTX1070 dead though.
Tried googling, nothing much found on the subject.
That isn't how it works :S
Found another thread as well http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/h...ort-problem-palit-sjs-gtx-1070-a-5423391.html don't think this one would have any competitor links being Singapore.
Too early to say.
Presumably you just received the same DPD return label as myself? I hope your collection point is nearer than mine!
