My Msi 1070 quicksilver 8gb idles at average, 55 degrees Celsius and at max 62 degrees. Under load it can get to the high 60's-70's causing the fans to start spinning due to Msi's frozr tech. To me that seems a little to hot for an idle GPU. When under stress like playing Battlefield 1 for long periods of time my pc sometimes freezes including my mouse and keyboard LED's and requires a force restart. Could the gpu being too hot be the cause of the freezing? Keep in mind this doesn't happen very often and only during intense gaming. Thx.



PC specs
i7 6700 (stock cpu cooler possibly causing issue?)
Msi quicksilver 8 GB 1070 OC
EVGA 500w
Msi h170 motherboard
16 gb ram

1) Low quality power supply.
2) Something overheating.
3) Insufficient motherboard VRMs.
4) Corrupt BIOS or incorrect BIOS settings.
5) "Dirty power" which refers to fluctuations in voltage to your home outlets. They make these things called Line Conditioners to take care of this but they're pretty expensive so I'd like to cross off the other possibilities before suggesting you pay for one.
6) Drivers arguing.
7) Outdated or corrupt system files.
8) Incorrect or overly aggressive overclock settings.

The list goes on...

Is this your power supply?

If so, it's very low quality and is likely contributing to your issues.

Is it the same thing just a 500 instead of a 600? The EVGA w1 series really isn't that good at all.

Would that cause a system freeze?

Do you use MSI Afterburner?

Do you use OC, Gamer or Silent mode?

Open Nvidia Control Panel. Hover your pointer over help. Click on Debug mode. GET YOUR GAME ON!!!!! Any different(apart from your core and memory clock numbers)?

60-70s? Can you be any more specific? MSI Afterburner's thermal wall is 79C. Still within your window.
