Problem with used GPU - Shopee

Noice — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 19:19:28 +0800

Hi sifus, recently got a used Galax GTX 1070 EXOC-SNPR BLACK from Shopee for RM1.6K. (Local seller, got quite some good reviews)

Now... the problem was the GPU will crash occasionally. (black screen, fan speed 100% - then need to force restart) Sometimes it crashes while gaming or just browsing the web.

GPU temperature around 41C - and still crashes regardless of temperature, even browsing Youtube.

Reformatted PC, DDU uninstaller, reseat my GPU and cable - no help.

BUT I noticed if I slightly nudge or lightly tap the PCI-E cable 6pins or 8pins, it will CRASH. However, it is still crashing even though I sit perfectly still watching Youtube.

My Spec:
MWE Bronze V2 600W
SSD S700 M.2 500GB
CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 16GB 3200Mhz
AMD R7-3700X
ASROCK B450M-HDV
Colorful GT1030 (Previous card - works fine)

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, guys!

After successful request of public IP from TM few days ago, my laptop suddenly can't login Steam and Origin. However, phone hotspot and my friend's Wi-Fi working for me so I suspect is my modem problem. Firewall is disabled, drivers up to date, only using Windows Defender and this is new clean install Windows 10.

Sometime can log in but other times need to keep clicking "retry connection". Even if I managed to got in, the download wont start, thumbnails wont load, client browser also blank. Halp me sifus.

Edit: Reset my modem too.
