So I just got a brand new Gigabyte G1 gaming gtx 1070 and I have been having some big problems with it thus far. I have been playing Witcher 3 for about a month with my 970 and never had a single crash. This is after over 130 hours of gameplay. So as soon as I installed my new 1070, In the past couple days I've been having the game crash nearly every session I have. The screen just completely freezes until the game eventually goes back to desktop.
One important thing to clarify here is that I get no error message and no black screen. It doesn't say that the display driver has crashed or anything.
Originally I figured this was do to the overclock it being a new card I haven't figured out yet. So I decided to run Heaven and figure out what my max overclock was. Unfortunately I am getting constant black screens in the heaven benchmark even with 0 overclock.
The screen will turn black for a few seconds and then it will just continue the benchmark. This is with absolutely 0 overclock to the core or the memory.
Anybody know what's going on here? I'm starting to worry that I got sent a defective card or something.
