Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Power down, unplug, open the case. Doublecheck that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fully and firmly in place.

Something may worked itself a bit loose.

Not want to bring more cost to this pc, but with a 3070 ti would i not pick such a psu, might well be that with some transient spikes (short but big bursts in power usage) this psu cannot handle that.

All is still working well?

Other thing is you said you did a "reset", if going that way i hope you did a fresh install of windows, that is just the better way to do a new windows install.

Yes i did a complete pc reset (fresh windows install),I just wanna know about the error i got,I searched online and i got that it's a gpu fault error.
It is a gpu fault error or a driver error ?

If it's a one of fault likely just a glitch and wouldn't be to worried about that. If it comes back look at what you found, reinstall gpu drivers for instance and first remove old with DDU.

Still think the psu might crap out with that gpu or gets in the danger zone and if power delivery gets wonky crap can happen.

Than just keep an eye on it, like i said it might be a one of and i wouldn't be to worried at that stage. If that psu will react as i say you will find out and with that i mean it will likely shut off or maybe give some other problems, but until then (if they happen again) relax a little.
