Sapphire Fury Nitro, no boot after two days of running

[Sharkyx1]

Purchased a Sapphire Fury Nitro this week upon receiving the card i threw it in, installed drivers and was blown away by the performance, but i noticed an increase in the minor artifacting i was receiving while using my GTX 760, which was some minor flicker in windows maybe occurring once every week. With the Fury i saw it every couple minutes for two days.

 

---After playing about an hour of the Witcher 3 at about 70c with CPU temps around 40 my screen went black and reported no video while ambient audio continued but the game had obviously frozen.

 

---Attempting to reboot the system resulted in one boot with no video followed by no responce from the power button but a short whine about 1/10 a second

 

--went into diagnosing and with the Fury plugged in in any configuration(1 power lead from PSU. 2 different ones for each 8 pin, a different power lead) all i ever got was a short whine and computer not booting.

 

---Computer wouldn't boot until unplugged for a short time, maybe 2 minutes. Sounds to me like OCP in the PSU, which doesn't make sense as it is a 700w coolermaster with 696 on the +12v

 

---760 and other GPUs operate normally.
