Hello my pc freezes whilie playing games.
Sometimes it happens after an hour sometimes 10 minuts.
I have to restart my pc every time it happens and my led's and fans are on/spinning.
My Drivers are up to date.
My Temps are fine only my cpu is a little high but thats only around 60
My fans in my graphics card stop spinning when my pc freezes

My Specs:
PSU: Corsair 650w 80+ Gold
Graphics card: ASUS Geforce GTX 1070 Ti ROG Strix
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K @ 4.20GHz
Ram: 16 GB DDR4 Dual-Channel
Motherboard: ASUS B150M Pro Gaming, Socket-1151
SSD: 447GB Corsair Force LE SSD

 
Solution
I hope you understand that that GPU isn't power demanding like the 1070ti, it's a dramatic jump between the two. If it works perfectly fine then I think you'd found the culprit being the PSU. And I hope it is before you go insane. Best of luck tomorrow.

What. Something is severely wrong. You should be pushing serious FPS on that card and CB. Are you sure that GPU is installed properly with all the right cables? And they're plugged in the proper spots in the PSU? Do you have it installed on the fastest PCIE lane? Have you ever had an issues before gaming or did you build this PC recently launched a game and it crashed?

It only tested my cpu
I just tried pushing the graphics card and change the cable to the graphics card and i got more fps in games but it still freezes after sometime. It's all installed checked multiple times.

I installed the CPU and Graphics card recently and it has never happend before. It first started happening after i installed those 2 and none of my games crash they only freezes and i cant do anything i have to force restart it on the computer

Has your GPU freeze (fans stop spinning) and THEN your PC freezes? Cause you could be looking at a defected GPU. It's not uncommon, it just sucks. Do you have a different GPU available for testing? I'm hoping it's not an issue with your MB.

Also, this may be the cause of your problems, but your PSU looks a little shady. I think you need more power to power that card. I recommend a 850w, especially if you'd like to do SLI in the future I'll go for higher like 1000w. A friend had a 600w and a 1080 and it wouldn't even start her PC. The PSU was the problem. It's starting to sound like its the culprit here, your GPU isn't performing at its fullest due to power limitations hence the crappy scores. It does run but for a short time and it crashes your system. A good PSU will fix all your problems.

I do have another Card it's what i upgraded from it's an 960 4gb i will try it out tomorrow.

But i think the 1070ti doesnt spin until i play games ofc but i think when the games stops the fans does aswell because it doesnt have to do anything but it's just wired cause my led's doesnt go out and my other fans are still spinning so i do think its the card aswell but i can just sent it back and get a new one :)

It still freezes but i do have the i7 in and i think thats more power demanding than the i5 i had but i really dont know its a i7-7700
So i have come to agree with you it can only be the PSU

Thanks alot for your help and time
