GPU based troubles

[Giftand]

Hi folks

 

I have an old MSI 1070ti that seems to run 100% except for random freezes most noticeably when gaming but also happens during normal use just less frequently. These last anything from 3 seconds to 15 seconds and strangely some times my USB devices would also cut out but not always. I figured it could be my old Z270 board giving up on life but I installed a 1060 3gb I had lying around for testing and while frames have dropped a ton, it seems the freezes have gone away. At least I haven't been able to reproduce the freezing with it installed. This all happens after a fresh install as well so I doubt it's driver or software related. I've also replaced the thermal paste on the GPU with no improvement.

 

So I'm wondering if you guys who know better than I would, think I should treat this as evidence of the GPU reaching it's end? 

 

Specs in case it matters:

MSI Z270 SLI PLUS

i7-6700K

32gb HyperX Fury 2666

Samsung 980 ssd

PSU 750watt Super Flower

Got a fairly beefy aircooler on there as well and decent cooling for the whole case

 

I know the old gal is not gonna last much longer but I'm hoping to get a little more out of her before I have to invest in any new parts or do a full upgrade(specially in this economy).

Feeling like a fool here but I have no BSOD issues will this even help?

Ideas :

reseat/replug everything carefully

is your ssd nearly full ?

are your windows/bios/driver uptodate ?

do you run your ram at 2666 and did you test it with Memtest86 ?

how are your gpu/cpu temps when stutter occur

reinstall clean windows

I have rebuilt the whole system and did a fresh install on a new ssd

SSD is pretty much empty and brand new, tested with different SSD's as well before and issue persisted

Windows and bios are updated

Ram had been running at 2666 speeds I did mess around with higher speeds today but only 2800 seems stable. Haven't seen changes as a result of that long as the gpu is connected the problem persists.

GPU temps are never crazy high even when the stutter happens. What does happen is fans through the system seem to spin down and back up again

did you test your Ram with Memtest86 or at least Testmem5 ?

are your driver uptodate ?

Memory test was a while ago but yes everything tested completely fine

 

Drivers are all the latest I could find, which for the board is still pretty old but what can you do.

You only get dump files from BSODs so not sure why it was suggested.
