Hey everyone,

I've been using a GTX 1080 for almost a year now and i've hit a bump I haven't gotten into before.

So here is the situation: Out of nowere after the system has been booted for a while (15-30 minutes) I can hear the GPU fan go to 100%, and an emediate loss of video signal occours.

After I reboot the system the same situation happens, it stays on for a while and goes 100%/no signal soon after.

Anyone have ideas what it might be? I tried updating the driver but that didn't change the situation.

Specs:

GTX 1080
I5 6600k
2x 8gb ddr4 corsair dominatior
Z170A asus mobo

Tl;dr

System boots
GPU crashes and loses signal after a while
tried driver update, did nothing.
