My computer is rebooting hard when I overclock the gpu (gpu clock or memory). It seems to happen sooner if I push the memeory speed. I hardly ever get the "Graphics card driver stopped working and recovered successfully" error. The system just crashes and starts back up. Any ideas as why?

Here are my specs:
Intel i7 6700k
Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000
Galax GTX 1070 Hall of Fame
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2

The card can't handle the overclock you are putting on it is the most likely issue here. That is pretty much what happens when an overclock is unstable.

I thought the graphics drivers would fail and I would get a "Graphics card driver stopped working and recovered successfully" error if the card became unstable because of my overclock. Not that the computer would do a hard reboot.

System can crash in more than one way. It's pretty simple to test, does it work on stock speeds? Does it crash when you overclock it? If you overclock and system crashes, you know what causes the issue.
