not that long ago i upgraded my 1080 to a 1080 ti,

problem is that it crashes while gaming, i have stopped it crashing by under clocking it by -30 on msi after burner, do any one know what would be causing this?
when i got the ti i got rid of the old drivers and reinstalled the drivers again

should i be able to over clock the GPU or even run it with no under clock???

if its running no under clock ill be able to game for 2 - 3 minutes

temps are fine, GPU hits max of 70 and sitting around 60c while gaming, CPU is overclocked to 4.9 ( at 1.26v ) but this was happening before i overclocked the cpu, mainly play destiny 2 fortnite and borderlands 3,

any help would be appreciated

cheers guys

Did you try uninstalling your GPU driver safely with DDU?
I had similar issues with my GTX 980ti, uninstalling the driver with DDU and installing the latest game ready driver.
Try updating your windows.
