Hello, to start off I'll just list the specs of the affected PC.

CPU: AMD FX-8370
GPU: GTX 1070
PSU: Thermaltake 850M - 850W Bronze 80
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
RAM: 1x Hyper Fury 8GB DDR3
(Nothing is overclocked.)
Operating System: Windows 8.1 64bit

This PC used to use a GTX 950 and ran well. Eventually we upgraded it to a new GTX 1070. Now when playing games we either experience a grey screen, a pink-ish screen, a screen with white boxes then completely black, and the sound gets all staticy and we have to force shutdown. This appears to happen randomly. Sometimes we can play Overwatch for hours without issues. Other days we play Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, an old game (2008), for 20 minutes and experience what we assume is the card crashing.

Dxdiag report: http://pastebin.com/yFAPD72a

Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. We used DDU to uninstall all graphics drivers and installed a fresh custom installation which only included Graphics Driver and PhsyX.

So far I'm seeing 80C in Overwatch.
It's weird because Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is a really old game and isn't very taxing but the crash still seems to happen there as well/

The person who owns it purchased it from BestBuy and it turns out it came directly from Nvidia (according to him). His old card was given to another friend via mail in a different state.

We tried Vsync but it's still crashing. And now we're trying to underclock the card a little bit to see if it still happens.
