My MSI GTX 1070 Twin Frozr 8G has been freezing during high demand games (witcher 3, GTAV, and now Hitman) since I purchased it over a year ago. I found a fix that reduced the frequency severely (Reduced the clock by 88, and flashed it to F7). At this point it froze maybe a couple times a month. This worked for several months. I should also say that the CPU is not currently OC'd, and hasn't been since I can't seem to get my system stable.
Since then, my old motherboard died on me, so I upgraded my system.
Old setup:
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
i5-3570k
8gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance
Corsair VS650 PSU
Patriot Torx 64gb SSD
Samsung 480gb SSD
New setup:
Gigabyte Z270-HD3
i5-7600k
Ballistix Sport LT Gray 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 UDIMM
Corsair VS650 PSU (psu is only 1 year old)
Patriot Torx 64gb SSD
Samsung 480gb SSD
Both systems are running Windows 7 x64
Fired up the new system, keeping only the GPU and PSU, and lo and behold, my problem has returned, and in full force. I can only make it about 10 minutes into a game before the screen freezes, the audio buzzes, and I have to do a hard shutdown on my tower. I will list what I have attempted so far.
- Clean install on 3 different drivers, with and without geforce experience. I generally only install the graphics driver and physx driver (current driver 391.01)
- Returning GPU clock to normal
- Lowering clock by 100 and gpu mem by 100 (crashed almost instantly)
Since adjusting the clock on the GPU seems to improve stability, I'm thinking that the factory OC is creating issues. Possibly low voltage as well? Any suggestions?
