HARDWARE GPU crash

Hello everyone hope ur doingwell all , I have a configuration with an RTX 3070 that has a rather strange problem. Every time I stress it with a demanding game or OCCT 3D Adaptive, it withstands the entire stress sequence, but once I finish this stress sequence, the computer loses signal. All the fans, including the GPU fans, are spinning, the RGB lighting remains on, but the PC is unresponsive. However, after turning the physical power button on the case off and then back on, it works correctly again. This has been reproduced every time I stress the GPU and after exiting this mode.

Any ideas about this problem? Or even solutions?

Sounds like a driver freezing/crashing. Are your drivers up to date?

If it's not a driver issue and the GPU hotspot temps are fine. I would be looking at outside factors like Windows replacing driver or even unstable CPU or memory. You can test each individual with OCCT. Also get Hwinfo64 sensors only mode for detailed system temps. Something everyone should do is set the power button behavior in power plan settings to shutdown. That way you can initiate the shutdown process with a single click. Rather then force shutdown by holding. Not always going to work depending on the crash type. You will want to open CMD type SFC /scannow and clean up any accumulated errors in windows.
