Black screen error when playing Origin games, could be GPU?

[Cherry Sky]

I bought a new GPU, PSU and case today, got them installed along my older mobo, CPU and RAM.

Intel Core i5 4430
Asus Strix GTX 970
8,00 GB RAM
Gigabyte H81M-DS2V mobo
Cooler Master G700 Bronze PSU
HP Pavilion 27xi

I've played Battlefield 4 and SW:Battlefront today. I could play BF4 for like 15 seconds before my monitor turned black, was alive but apparently "asleep" and wouldn't connect back anymore until I force-restarted my PC. Same happened with Battlefront, but it lasted a while longer.

What can I do to fix this? Is this an issue with my PSU, GPU, monitor...? Everything should check as I've been told everything will be fine (no compatibility issues).

Have you updated all of your drivers? Especially your video card drivers?

Yes all my drivers are up to date...

Okay. That's a good start at least! Haha. When I had a similar issue to this, it ended up being my motherboard, but your new components are the GPU/PSU. Can you put the old GPU back into the computer with the new PSU? This way you can see what is the problem by the process of elimination.

I did and it works, but the other card I have is a GT 630... It doesn't draw power from the PSU but from the motherboard

Btw the GPU is factory OC - I guess I'm just gonna RMA when I'm back from Xmas holidays. I don't wanna screw anything up.
