Hello, I've bought an ASUS ROG Strix 1080 this week and it's been running pristine in all games like Witcher 3, GTA V etc. But when playing PUBG in like 20 hours my GPU 3 times started going max RPM and crashed to black screen, only a hard restart would fix the issue. My question is what is happening. One of my friends said that it's a driver issue.

my specs are:
ASUS ROG Strix GTX 1080
Gigabyte Z87M
i5-4670K @4.2GhZ
Corsair Vengeance LP 8Gb RAM (2x4) DDR3 1600 MhZ
Corsair CX600

Lucky for you. I just bought 1080 too MSI one, and mine does the same. while playing pubg, screen goes black, and hard restart is the only option... I DDU and reinstalled, still having an issue.
