Hi everyone,
My PC has been having issues lately, and I'm not certain what is causing the issue. I built this model around 5 years ago, all brand new hardware.
Around maybe a month ago, I started getting problems such as my PC randomly rebooting by itself, then starting disk repair checking. Sometimes I'll just be browsing YouTube or a low resource game and I get "Out of Video Memory" error and then all my tabs just stop working and I get a completely blank screen, my discord reboots itself. I'll open task manager to check resources and I'm only using like 30% of the physical RAM (16gb).
The full error I sometimes get is:
"Out of video memory trying to allocate a texture/rendering resource"
Although that's only sometimes. Past few days games and tabs are crashing with no error.
I have an:
MSI AERO GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB Video Card
My full hardware specs are here:

This happens frequently. The PC rebooting itself maybe every 3-4 days. All my browser tabs just turning into a completely white screen and having to reboot via task manager maybe every day, sometimes twice.
My GPU (MSI 1070) I purchased in early 2018, so around 5+ years old. My primary SSD that my OS is installed on is only around 2 years old. Although I do have around 3 SSD and 2 HDD on my PC in total which are a lot older, not sure if they can have an effect.
Even when I just have 3 chrome tabs open or I'm playing Valorant on low settings and the resources are low, my PC will randomly just keep closing all my tabs, giving a white screen or rebooting. I haven't made any changes to software, not changes in hardware in years, haven't installed anything. So I'm not quite sure if it's a hardware issue, GPU or my SSD having problems, or a software problem.
Today I was playing Assassins Creed and it just kept crashing every 10 minutes, no errors. Then even with no games running, just 3 chrome tabs open, my tabs and discord kept constantly closing by themselves every 5-10 minutes.
My virtual memory settings are here. Although I'm not certain exactly which ones need editing. As all my discord and chrome is on the primary SSD whereas my gaming stuff is on the H drive. I've never touched the settings before though in 5 years, so not sure why its a problem now.
Plus my memory usage, although it hasn't had issue for an hour now.
Any suggestions on what I can investigate, or maybe my GPU is dying?
Thanks all!
