Yesterday i upgraded my computer and now the computer freezes everytime i start up a game.
I tried updating drivers and scanned all windows files but nothing seems to work. Bios has also been updated without any result,
Average CPU temperature when idle is 50 / 60 degrees celsius while starting up a game it's around 70 / 80 degrees celsius.

Try the old 1070 graphics card with the new CPU and see if you still get the errors.

Could be a Windows issue. Back up your files and data. Reinstall 10/11 on a freshly wiped drive (completely wiped). Will probably fix the issue if your hardware is OK.

Does the second Corsair Vengeance LPX has the same version number? Maybe it is wise to try with only the orginal memory kit installed.

I find your CPU temperatures quite high when just starting a game. You should only see those temperatures while gaming or running a stress test.
Idle temperatures should be like 45 degrees and not between 50~60 degrees. Which AeroCool CPU Cooler are you using?

You should test with your GTX 1070 and then try with another PSU, if the crashes don't stop.

Check your Power connections. Those 6+2 8 pins sometimes aare not fully inserted. That will allow you to surf the internet and even watch video but the minute you load a Game the Computer screen goes black and everything resets.

Before resorting to Windows reinstall. Use DDU in safe mode to uninstall drivers, then install new drivers. There may be some leftovers of the previous 1070 drivers.

if you haven't already reinstalled your OS try running DDU first and you might have a bad cpu mount

Sorry for the late reply, didn't had any time to look at the pc because of work.

Today i replaced the RTX 3070 with my old GTX 1070 and everything runs smooth without any crash.
So i guess my RTX 3070 is broken?

The power concumption of the RTX 3070 is higher than GTX 1070.

Did you use multiple or one single rail mode for your graphics card?

How many PCIe 8 pin cables did you use for the graphics card? Both connectors on one cable or just one connector on each cable?
