Decreasing the OC doesnt help. With stock settings, the GPU can last 30 seconds after mining starts. No temperature hike or whatsover. Forget to mention, this GPU is a replacement card from Zotac. I received it 2 weeks earlier. It could be the problem I guess.

That GPU is probably dead.
I got one that displays the same issue, "Freezing my Rig under Stress"
Checking the Temperature will help, mine just getting a dangerous result from 40c to 110c in just seconds.
And I replaced the Thermal Paste that I thought might be the issue, but no avail.

It worked fine for me just a year ago, now it's definitely broken.

Decrease the overclock of the GPU which is causing issues.
Try this and post your results.

My rigs are running well for days but this error occurred earlier today which I have no idea about. My rig has 5x1060 and 2x1070 One of my 1060 freezes my PC when I start the miner. If I remove that GPU things are back to normal. Although I found the culprit still don't know how to solve this. GPU is not dead it works but causes freezing when under load. Suggestions please
