GTX 1070 computer crashing when GPU reaches 65 degrees

[Jakehobbs99]

I recently purchased a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini graphics card, and I've been having issues that makes my games unplayable. When I play a game even slightly graphically intensive (I've been testing using Borderlands 2 and just idling on the title screen, running Hardware Monitor to check the GPU Temperature. Whenever the GPU gets to 65 degrees my monitor goes black, game sounds stutter, the fans shoot up to 100% for about 2 seconds, and my monitor starts blinking black and white slowly, and then restarts itself.

On Hardware Monitor, the fans sit at 0% and 0 RPM until the gpu reaches somewhere around 63 degrees.

The card requires at least a 500W power supply, and I have a 700W power supply.

Ask Zotac if they have any kind of utility to help you control the temperature curve of your gpu fans. They shouldn't be sitting at 0 with a temp of 65. I haven't seen anything on a cursory look:
https://www.zotac.com/ca/files/download/graphics_cards?driver_type=All&g_card_series=All&g_card_os=All&sku=ZT-P10700L-10H
but there might be something I'm missing. They have live chat help, ask them and see what you can use to regulate this a bit.

Even so, 65 isn't exactly a system breaking temperature and your gpu should be able to handle much higher. Are you monitoring the rest of your system temps? Could this be something else overheating to a much higher temp but you're not seeing it cause you're only looking at gpu?
Try a monitoring app. HWInfo or HWMonitor are pretty good but there are many others.
