  I had just got my Gtx 1070 FTW2 graphics card yesterday for my computer that has been running on integrated graphics for the past half year. I plugged my card in and it runs great, but I can hear my PSU coil whine in games(I tested it and it's not my GPU), when I alt tab the game, the whine instantly goes away. Today I had a few problems of the computer not turning on, screen freezes randomly. I want to see if the PSU is not delivering enough power to my computer? If it is, should I get a new power supply? Also, I have never experienced these problems before I got my GPU

    Coil whine won't cause any issues, so don't worry about it.

    If any of your rails hit the minimum atx spec I would replace the psu with a new one.
     
    HOW TO: Properly load your system when checking PSU voltages.    
    #1 Download & Install latest version of Prime95. Use small fft test.
    #2 Download & Install Unigine Heaven 4.0. Make sure max settings are selected before running.
    #3 Run both programs at the same time while checking voltages.
