Hi, after owning GTX 970 for 2 months, just recently start receiving BSOD after the driver update (347.52). This happens when i least expect it. Not 100% sure that it is graphics card problem, but from what i've read it seems like it. No OC done to any hardware.

PC specs: 16gb ram, gtx970, i7-4790k, gigabyte GA-z97X-gaming 5, RM750 PSU.

try installing the older driver you had before, do a clean install. 

 

could also be ram modules i suppose, so run memtest to check for errors.

 

these are the main things that come to mind.

The driver may have installed incorrectly or become corrupt. My Wifi driver does this occasionally, just uninstall the driver and reinstall it.

Tried going back to older versions of driver, ran a memory test just to make sure ram is working well, and now what happends is suddenly bsod on idle. Also sometimes after pc rr, in log in screen just get bsod.

most bsod's are bad ram.

but there are always exceptions
