So the other night I was playing fallout 4 with my new gtx 1070, when all the sudden I get a black screen and a fraction of a sound kept looping. Whatever, I do a hard reset and turn it back on. It keeps going to the black screen every time I do this. The PC is still on when this is happening, but it responds to no power button press except the hard reset. Eventually it starts going to black as soon as the Windows 10 login screen is supposed to come up.

I'm 95% sure it's not a memory problem because when I put in a different set of RAM, it still happened. I also don't think it's overheating because the CPU and GPU temps are fine (30-40° C). I think it's a gpu problem because I can't come up with any other culprit. At this point I'm at a loss and could really use some help.
