Display crashing not restarting. Fans go to 100% indicating maximum cpu utilization.

This is my rig:

 

First my displays would turn off indicating driver failure or power failure of the GTX 1070 but my computer remained on, then the fans would get really loud which indicated to me that it is experiencing maximum cpu utilization, i have looked into event viewer after hard rebooting my computer and have found events linked to nvidia driver crashes and the display windows manager also being unable to restart as well as system 55 events that are kernel-process-power where it states the ACPI idle states minimum throttle percentage is at 100% on all cores. This has started to happen to me after I installed the 2019-11 Cumulative update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based systems (KB4524570). 

Initially I tried using DDU to clear my drivers and and that has not solved the problem, i have heard that maybe a bios flash could fix this but it sounds more like a gpu failure specifically vrms degraded. My overclocks use to be stable at +150 core +350 memory but i even went back down to base clock and it still doesn't make it difference. I'm kind of stumped because i can't find too much information about this online.

Can you roll back the update and see if it solves the problem? (Not familiar with Win10.  I dunno if that kind of thing is still possible). If you’ve got a pre update disk image backup that could work too I suppose.

 Probably not an internet safe act because security updates.  It could help define a software vs hardware issue though.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Yeah i'll try that and report back in about ~15 minutes.

Ok i actually updated windows, there was another update in the settings for version 1909 and i installed that. After about 10 minutes of playing the new Modern Warfare everything seems fine with no overclock but this was randomly happening mostly looking at web pages in chrome, i think it has something to do with the computer going idle, so i'll see if anything happens if i leave it alone for more than 10 minutes.

As predicted i let it idle for about ~10 minutes and it happened even after the new update i just installed.

which gives us nothing because the new update could have the same problem as the other one.  It’s not known good.

 

error diagnosis is about separating variables.  To one of possible.  If the old version was known good and it still failed it’s hardware... almost certainly hardware anyway.  If it DIDDNT fail though it’s the new windows version, or at least an interaction between it and some other software on your machine.

Well i can uninstall the update that this started on if you think that would help, it's not a feature update, it's just some windows 10 cumulative patch i can't do a full rollback.

No rollback to a known good software state?  Drat.

Yeah in Windows 10 settings you can't rollback if the update was more than 10 days ago it's really dumb.

I just spent the last half hour trying to reseat my 1070 and the pcie lever was stuck and i was surprised how much force was required to pull it out, but i'll see if this does anything. Edit: I've also just changed my power settings from balance to high performance, let's see if that does anything.

Ok a GPU reseat *seems* to have done the trick with no gpu overclock. I'll have to see what happens over the next several hours but for the time being a gpu reseat seems to have helped.
