Hey all,
I built my first rig as of a month ago. I stressed tested the CPU and GPU for 30 minutes straight and got 60-70C for both. For the month I have had no issues with gaming. Until..........
As of yesterday, when I play games like SC2 or GW2 for about 2-5 minutes, the computer locks up and the fan gets really loud and stays that way until I force the power off. During gaming, the temps for both CPU/GPU are around the 60C. When I stress test, the CPU responds the same as before (no issues), but the moment I test the GPU the exact same crash happens. I doubt it's a temperature issue since the crash happens at the same instant I test the GPU, but I could be wrong. I'm updated on drivers for the GPU; I'm hoping the GPU isn't faulty since it's about 1 month old, but I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions what I should look into next? Thanks.
My Build:
-PSU: Seasonic G Series 650 SSR-650RM 650W 80+ Gold ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 105 °C
-OS: Windows 10 pro 64 bits
-CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor
-RAM: G.SKILL Aegis 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200)
-GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC
-Motherboard: ASUS Prime X470-Pro AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 ATX
