    Considering a CPU upgrade but?

    A windows reset requires less investment than buying a new cpu so you should try that first.

    I disagree, his cpu should be fine for a 1070, especially at 1080p.

    DirectX 12 VRAM

    In DX12, there is no implicit driver-implemented SLI as there was in DX11. Instead, multiple GPUs are exposed to the application as separate "nodes" within a single DX12 device, and each VRAM resource lives on a single node, specified at creation time. There is no implicit mirroring of resources...

    First you need to save all the data you want to keep and move it off the drive that your OS is installed on. Then you can go to settings and select recovery -> reset this pc -> remove everything.

    What program are you using to the test the temperatures and when does it get to 105c?

    Considering a CPU upgrade but?

    Your card could be faulty, but the best way to verify is to install a new copy of windows and see if your games still have problems then.

    Considering a CPU upgrade but?

    Your cpu should be fine handling a 1070, and your experience should be perfect with that setup, especially at 1080p. Your temps are probably fine and your power supply seems alright, I really have no clue what could be wrong. You could try reinstalling windows as a last resort, if that still...

    DirectX 12 VRAM

    VRAM does not combine in SLI mode in any api. In DX12 games are able to use multiple gpus in a way so that the vram stacks but the games have to be coded for that. And that mode is completely different from running in SLI

    Inexpensive everyday video

    If a GT 710 is enough for your needs then GT 610 is fine. It's only marginally weaker than the GT 710 and if you need it, some overclocking can make it match the performance of the 710. Heck you can overclock the GT 710 also.

    SSD keeps losing space (Windows 7 Build)

    They are fine to remove if you aren't using them to troubleshoot issues. They are just logs of any errors that happened.

    2017 cpu upgrade

    Then I guess leave it at 4.4 and try to run it on less voltage.

    SSD keeps losing space (Windows 7 Build)

    If you haven't already, try running disk cleanup as administrator to clean up system files. You can also search up how to move the TEMP and TMP folders, default download location and the search index file. If you never use hiberate you can also turn that off to save space.

    2017 cpu upgrade

    I think you should be able to hit higher multipliers with those voltages.
