Hi, this is first time to ask question about my desktop.

my desktop keep freezes when I play Overwatch these days (several times per day)
Since I got new graphic card (ASUS STRIX GTX 1070 8G GAMING) and
new monitor (ASUS VG248QE - 1080p & 144hz).
graphic card temperature is about 65~73C when I play Overwatch

I installed all the drivers that I need for my graphic card from ASUS web site

My pc spec is;
Motherboard: Gigabyte b75m-d3h
CPU: I7 3770(non K) @ 3.40GHz
RAM: DDR3 16GB
PSU: Corsair CX600


I play Overwatch at medium setting with fps 144 limit.

Actually It has happened before I got the new graphic card (previous one is GTX 660 and played Overwatch at medium setting with fps 60 limit) but it was not that often. (once per month)

I don't think my new graphic card is the problem but actually I have no idea.

It is not happened when I play casual game like League of Legend.

Oh, before I change new graphic card (GTX 660 before) When I play GTA5 at medium setting, sometimes an error occurred that GTA5 is shut down but not freezing my whole pc (once per week)

Please tell me which component of mine make the problem T_T

I would suspect that it's probably one of the following:
1. overheating - check that CPU and GPU temperature is within safe limits while you gaming. use something like MSI Afterburner to display this info as an overlay.
2. your PSU is just not doing the job. Regardless of the 600watt, the Corsairs old (green) CX PSUs is not that good.

Overwatch and GTA V can put much more load on your system (CPU/RAM/GPU) than LoL, and that's why computer freezes with them more.

n0ns3ns3: srry Im new to this website and I misclicked to vote.. I was trying to write with my phone.

I checked my cpu and gpu temperature as you told me and they didnt go over 70c.
and the PSU issue, if it is the problem, my pc should be rebooting instead of freezing right?

I still don't get what is the problem T_T
