Hi all.
Upgraded my old R9 390 to GTX 1070 just few days ago and since then it's been mostly crashes and freezes between some even hours long sessions of smooth gaming at high FPS. Everything else is seemingly fine, GPU temp lower than before (I managed to max it at 75 C degrees under heavy load), power consumption down, X5670 CPU as cool as ever and 1440p gaming at almost rock solid 60 fps. Everything is running at default clocks except for the built in boosting of the GPU that happens when gaming.
The first mistake I may have made is not cleaning everything AMD properly before swapping in the new card. However I've run the cleaning tool since then and updated the GeForce drivers.
I'm running Win 10 Pro 64 bit and the crashes and freezes are of various kinds. I get simple black screen reboots, freezes to black screen with hard boot needed, once a scrambled (like too heavy jpg compression) BSOD I could not read and often they are accompanied by whatever sound was playing going into a buzzing micro loop. Sometimes I just get a short half second buzz from Windows sounds or game music and it recovers after that. In gaming I may have had 3-4 second buzz while the game ran smoothly all the time. Event log shows nothing really but the Kernel Power Event 41 and that the previous system shutdown was unexpected. Only other frequent errors are from source DistributedCOM and mean nothing to me.
This all seems completely random, not related to load. It might happen right after powering on, under heavy gaming or while the computer is idling with nothing but browser on the desktop.
Any help would be appreciated.
