Hi so I installed a gtx 1070, 8gb of ram today and at first everything was going fine then windows popped up with a notification saying display driver updated restart to apply so I restart and my monitor can't get a source so I unplug my monitor and PC plug them back in and I get display now but my monitor will randomly lose source to my GPU or while playing games the GPU will just stop and my PC will restart. For example while loading into a map in overwatch my gpu shutdown and my pc restarted and when i closed unturned my gpu shutdown and pc restarted again! Sometimes it starts with no display. When it shut downs itd a hard shut down with no bsod. Also i noticed randomly while useing my computer command prompt will run a couple of scripts for a millisecond and exit out. I am using a DVI-D cable. This is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/InfamousComic/saved/r8wP6h

Try uninstalling the GPU driver, run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), then install the latest drivers from nVidia. There is probably leftovers from a previous driver causing issues. Also, If you changed from an AMD GPU, make sure to run DDU to remove those drivers as well.
