Installed a new Asus 1060 last night, no problems while playing Counter-Strike plus running my OBS at the same time. Well today I'm halfway thru a game and my computer just freezes. It's still on, but everything is just frozen.

Then after the second freeze I go to open Counter-Strike and I get some "Fatal Errors" which I don't know if that has anything to do with it, I think it might just have to do with having to cut the power supply all the way off.

I didn't have this problem with my 750ti, and all my stuff is updated. I went from fixing a bottlenecking issues with my cpu and old gpu jsut to run into this problem of not being able to play and stream a game. :(

my specs now are..... Case: Corsair Carbide Series 200r. CPU:Intel® Core™ i7-6700K; Asus B150 ProGaming D3 Motherboard; GPU: ASUS GEFORCE GTX 1060; CPU Coolor: Hydro Series™ H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler; Ram: Vengeance® Low Profile Blue 16gb; Samsung 500GB SSD; RM Series™ RM650 Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum & Corsair M65; Headset: Logitech Artemis Spectrum G633; Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70; Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM w/ second monitor.

Press the Windows button and click the power symbol. Press and hold shift then click "restart" until you get to a screen that gives you a bunch of different options. One of them is to wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows, you don't need a disk.

Last time I had crazy weird driver issues like this the only thing that fixed it was wiping my hard drive and reinstalling Windows. I'm not sure if you're ready to do that at this point but it usually fixes any software issue you're having.

I didn't see your PSU listed in your specs. Could you post that as well?

No because I can't reinstall since I don't have a disk and also because last time I messed with that I got a big sound issue untill I got a new motherboard and upgaded to the windows 10 trial which I'm still on because they wont give me the upgrade they promised and my windows 7 version is a 1 time use and I've transfered my stuff from one HDD to an SDD then to another so.... yeah can't reinstall. :(
