EVGA GTX 1070 Causing Windows 10 Loading Problems

[greggoodwin]

Last night I tried to open World of Warcraft and the Battle.net client claimed my graphics card did not meet minimum recommended settings and it failed to launch. After rebooting, windows would get stuck loading with the windows logo and a progress loading circle below it. Weird thing is I could hear windows noises in the background like windows had actually loaded but the screen was stuck on loading. Removed my 1070 and used on-board GPU and it booted up fine. Obviously the GPU is the problem but I am trying to determine if I can fix somehow or if maybe it could be something else. The 1070 is only 3 months old, I already opened a ticket with EVGA in case I need to RMA.

The card specifically is.
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6173-KR

Additional Hardware and Software
Windows 10 Home 64bit.
ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4 Motherboard
Intel 7th Gen i7-7700K Processor
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 RAM
Corsair Hydro Series Liquid CPU Cooler H60
RaidMax 750w Power Supply

I would blame that junk power supply. I would swap it for at least a Corsair CX650m, or an EVGA B2 750w.

I already have a EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 on it's way. A friend told me my PS was crap today as well so I already ordered. Are you thinking the crappy PS caused the GPU to break?

It might not have broken it. Hopefully it is just not providing stable power, and the new PSU will fix the problem. I have the 750w G2, also.
