Hello,
I finished building my PC in august 2016 with the final touch being a evga gtx 1070. earlier today i was playing the witcher 3 when my monitor suddenly stopped getting signal, assuming it was just a driver error or cable malfunction I swapped the HDMI cable and installed the latest driver update, the next thing i know within seconds of loading up my most recent save of a game my fans ramped up to 100% and my video signal just died. My keyboard remained lit, i was even able hear the game and keyboard inputs i made but the only way to return the signal was to restart my system. I tested the CPU and Memory, all when smoothly but as soon as i opened the heaven benchmark from unigne my system just fell apart once again (i was monitoring temps the whole time, nothing was too irregular). please help me! if it really is a broken gpu then i have insurance but i need to be sure its defective and not just poor software. thank you so much
