I got a gtx geforce 1070, bought it few months ago. The driver I am using at the moment is the 378.78. The game in which i am experiencing this problem is Paragon. When the grahic card gets to hot the game just crashes It's quite annoying. Some time it happens even multiple times during a match. Im not an expert, i saw a few viedo on youtube where they advise to try different drivers, i did but nothing changed. A friend advised me to buy a liquid cooling system, is it the only way ? I cannot afford it at the moment.

CCleaner is a great tool indeed, I use/install it on every machine I prepare for my costumers (in a company with 350 employees), but I doubt that will solve your problem.

The only other thing I can think of that you're throttling CPU (maximum usage) and therefore perhaps your CPU is overheating - monitor that too, because shutdown/restart would indicate this problem.
If you play CPU demanding games that could happen IF:
-you got poor stock cooler on CPU
-or you got dust in CPU cooler
-or you good old or poorly attached thermal paste (I recommend ceramic-based thermal paste like -> https://www.amazon.com/Artic-Silver-AA-1-75G-Ceramic-Compound/dp/B003MA961E or oldies goldies Arctic Silver 5 ->...

Then it isn't temp that is crashing the game. 68C is excellent for load temp. My 1070 hits mid 70s at load. 94C is the recommended max temp: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1070/
And even that can be surpassed occasionally w/o issues.
See if you have some other software issue causing the problem. Run CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry portions both. After running it, re-boot and run it again. See if that helps any. If nothing else, CCleaner will fix a lot of other issues pertaining to software conflicts, registry errors, etc. Not to mention free up loads of wasted disk space.

If CPU overheating is not your problem then:
My best advise would be to completly format your PC and start over from scratch - first install Motherboard drivers (1st chipset then GPU drivers, and so on) - also try to find a BIOS update if there is any.
I know that perhaps this doesn't feel best option at the moment, but trust me you'll be glad you did it afterwards.
I always enjoy fresh installed system much more, then the system with all the crap it loads/saves during the months or years of usage, specially after replacing a GPU.

And no liquid cooling for GPU GTX 1070 is NOT required.
