Post Body

Hello,

So I upgraded my gtx 970 to a 1080 this last week and since then i only have problems.

Before i put in the new card I made a clean windows installation from a USB stick. After that i put in the new GPU and the pc starts and i get into windows but after 2-3 mins the pc freezes and the only way to restart the system is to press the reset button on the case.

After the restart windows starts its repair tool but doesnt find a solution.

I already tried doing a system restore within the repair tool and it works fine after that but it keeps freezing again after 2-3 mins.

EDIT: Windows doesnt freeze when i dont plug in the ethernet cable.
