Question RTX 3070 randomly stops working ?

[AlexanderDrummond]

Hi there!

I’ve had issues with my NVIDIA RTX 3070 for a while and it’s a bit of an odd case for me since I’m able to get it working by reslotting it and screwing the back screws for the case back in, but it feels as though it’s still bending slightly and the only way I get it working is by pressing it hard into the PCI slots to try to lock it in position.

Power supply to the card is working and the problem occurs at completely random times.
Sometimes I can run for hours, other times only 20 mins before I have to start fiddling with the card.

Any help, ideas etc would be greatly appreciated.
