Bought a Dell 8900 late 2015. Upgraded to GTX 970 and new PSU. From the beginning, I would have very random game lockups. Games would simply freeze. No BSOD, no sounds, just a frozen screen - forcing a hard reboot. Game settings or intensity of scene are unrelated. Games will freeze under light or heavy load. Sometimes after two hours, sometimes after 30 minutes. Sometimes a week of playing goes by with no problems. And the freezing is only with games. Never with anything else, including video.
So I finally RMAd the video card a few months ago. EVGA sent back a GTX 1070. Nice upgrade. Same problem. So I replaced/upgraded the PSU. Same problem.
I've run tests on RAM, CPU and GPU. All come back fine. I monitor heat - GPU never goes above 68c. CPU temps are fine. Running an i7 6700, 16GB RAM, Corsair 750w Bronze. Windows 10, 64bit.
Just stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
