Problems with GTX 970?

[Vishmister]

Hi guys,

I'm currently experiencing apparent issues with my Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming. The card seems to be running fine at idle/low-workloads i.e just browsing and is entirely stable, but whenever I start running a game for an extended period of time, the game blackscreens and forces to the Desktop. The PC then reboots, however the graphics card does not intialise/spin-up at all on this reboot, instead it requires a turnoff/on of the AC to get the graphics card to start again.

 

Does this appear to be a driver-related issue or a hardware related issue?

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Running a Corsair RM650 as PSU

Seems like a hardware issue. I'd RMA the card.
