Long story short, here's my build
-Maximus nine code
-8gb ddr4 3000mhz corsair
-Gtx 1070 strix
-I5 7500
-Thermaltake 750w gold
So, everything was working fine until one day when there was a storm and i was watching a YouTube video, my pc shutted down after a thunder, for my surprise the DVI port on my GPU where i had connected my monitor was dead, it wasn't working anymore and neither was my HDMI port where the tv was connected, so i bought an adapter (DP to DVI) and everything was golden until a few weeks later when i was playing FF type 0 and the screen went black and my GPU fan speed went up to a 100% (and i was like: maybe the GPU temps were to high) so i turned off the system and fire it back up again and started playing again, but this time i was monitoring my GPU and CPU temps and they were perfectly fine (68c for my GPU and 55c for my CPU) and the same thing happened, a black screen and the fans ramped up like crazy, then that problem got worse, it was happening every now and then while watching YouTube and just browsing until one day a message appeared when i turned on the PC "Please Power Down and Connect the PCIe Power Cable(s) for this Graphics Card" so i reconnected the cables and it was working, or so i though, now the infamous code 43 was showing up in device manager and so i reinstalled the drivers (uninstalling them with DDU) and the code 43 was still there, so i tried an older driver 378.92 but when the driver started updating the GPU fans would go like crazy and it would happen every time that i tried to update them so i installed the drivers from the CD that came with the GPU and they did in fact installed, it's just that my GPU still has code 43 and still tells me to connect the pcie power cables, so i cannot use it. In order to use my PC i had to use the igpu cause otherwise it won't work. i already tested it on another system with different PSU,CPU and motherboard, i already replaced the thermal paste which by the way was terribly apply, was all over the place, with mx4 and updated my mobo bios to the latest one.
Here are some pictures:

At the end i ended up RMA the card, and now i got a new one, thanks.
