[jafshredder]

I have a gtx 1060 and I've been experiencing total freezes every X amount of hours at the time that makes me reboot all the time.

any idea what could be wrong with my system? I run a health check on my 240gb kingston ssd and it says 96%

Any wrong about my nvidia configuration?

I seriously doubt that the problem is the GPU. It sounds to me more like a heat problem, a RAM issue, or a power supply issue.

Check fans for proper operation and dirt build-up. Check CPU cooler for being clogged with dust / dirt. Leave side panel off and see if that helps. You could also blow some fresh air in with a fan.

Run memtest and do a full test (which will take awhile).

For the power supply, disaconnect all devices except your keyboard and mouse and see if that helps.
