Use iGPU for now. Once installed Windows and all install the 7970. Test the card, if dead, RMA.

It has happened since the start so it is not a new problem

In that case, have you updated drivers to the lates one? Better go with a stable release before the beta ones.

Yes I have

 

Latest ones? Go back a few releases

Older drivers? Update them

Maybe try reseating the graphics card and trying a different PCI-E slot if it still happens?
