My Specs:
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.26GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Stock fan
Mobo: MSI - B350 Tomahawk ATX AM4 Mobo
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4- 3000 Memory
Storage: Western Digital - Blue 250GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX 1070 8GB mini Video Card
Case: Corsair 100R ATX mid Tower case
PSU: Corsair - CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power supply.
Things tried
-uninstalling GPU and reinstalling
-changing PCIe slot/making sure card is secured in PCIe slot and cables are secure
-opening up MSI afterburner and changing the voltage to constant
-checking temps: GPU never goes above 73 and CPU is never above 65
-putting the GPU fan speed on max (this seemed to make it crash faster)
-trying different outlets around my apartment to see if it isn't getting enough juice by any chance.
I didn't have any issues for the past 2 to 3 months of using this computer. Furthermore, I seemingly fixed this problem about a month ago by using DDU to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them. However, the problem came back recently and even using DDU to uninstall the drivers doesn't seem to fix the problem now.
I recently tried to switch the PCIe slot for my card to see if it would fix anything. When I tried to turn my computer on, the screen immediately went black and the fan went max (as usual). However, this time I was unable to turn the power off by holding the power button. I tried to cut the power by flipping the switch on the back on and off, but it came back on almost immediately. I then flipped the switch back off and waited about a minute or two only to find that computer wouldn't fully boot (only the motherboard light would come on and no fans were spinning) for about 3 minutes or so.
NOTE: I receive the BSOD message or any errors when this occurs. In fact, sometimes the computer will restart without making any noise as if I had just told it to restart.
the problem used to be very inconsistent; I could play for 3 hours at times with no issue. Now it happens after almost 20 minutes of playing a graphically intense game (XCOM2) or 2 hours of playing a non-graphically intense game (Heroes of the storm)
The problem also seems to immediately occur (now) when I reinstall the latest driver for my card.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
