Hi all, I bought a GTX 1070 from here around February time. All has been fine until about a week ago. Happens predominantly when gaming although occasionally just when on the desktop, but basically my monitor looses input and the GPU fans spin up to 100%. Only way to fix this is to force restart the PC.
Anybody got any ideas as to what the cause of this could be?
 
Anything in the event viewer in Windows? Could be an Nvidia driver crash which you will find under "system" section in the event log. If this is the case, then it could point to either bad driver or something wrong with the card. I suggest a clean install of driver - user guru3d driver sweeper to remove current nvidia drivers and then install the latest drivers (tick custom install and select clean installation).

Added note: whenever I am overclocking and my 1070 crashes because of instability, the card drivers restart which turns off monitor output briefly and spins fans up to 100%
 
It's doing it even more frequently now. Checked event viewer and nothing about a driver crash, it's mostly 'Kernal-boot' or 'Kernal-processor-power'. I removed and then reinstalled all nvidia drivers but to no avail.
