I tried running any model on my 1070 and it instantly crashes my old tower, probably time to get off windows and run linux on it.

Understated how much of a boon for Linux that AI development has been.
There isn’t any benefit to running a windows machine.
Au contraire, I run models on WSL and my desktop reliably wakes up from sleep. Best of both worlds.
Watch out for VRAM/RAM. When programs on WSL tired to take more than there was available it was crashing my WSL hard and even corrupting files on the virtual drive attached to WSL in a very strange manner that made recent files just disappear. I had at leat two projects that had to be rebuilt from past conversation with AI because all their files were gone after few crashes.
I asked codex to write WSL config to prevent crashes. It put some limits on WSL and the situation stabilized, but I lost all trust for WSL anyways.

Sounds like a hardware issue, though NVIDIA driver issues can't be ruled out, they're much rarer these days
