Every now and then, PC hardware throws you a problem that feels less like "tech troubleshooting" and more like "how did this even leave the factory?". A PC gamer recently highlighted a pretty painful quality-control slip involving a PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. After installing the card, their system started freezing and crashing. They also noticed PCIe-related errors showing up in HWInfo, which is usually a big hint that something isn't happy in the connection between the GPU and the motherboard.
