GTX 970 Dual Monitor Crash

[DarkKnight53]

Hi, I'm using an MSI GTX 970 on my pc with one 27" TV connected to HDMI and one 18.5" Monitor connected to VGA->DVI port.

The problem is, my both screens goes dark during mid-game and doesn't come back until I push restart button. No "no signal" sign on both screens, no sound but PC is running.

I've used both screens before for a long time with no problems but when I tried to use them together it crashed 3 times in 2 hours.

I've tried to reinstall my drivers while both screens plugged but it's still same.

How are the GPU temps when this happens?

Can you just run one monitor as a test for a while to see if it still happens?

Could be the card on its way out.

I haven't check the temps but my PC is close to the heater.

My case has a pretty great air flow with 4 extra fans including double Akasa Viper 120mm.

I'll check the tempratures when I get to home.

So here's what happened when I tried make a temp test.

I got home and installed FurMark & Prime95

I ran FurMark on 4k for the highest gpu usage and also ran prime95 so I can see the highest temperature inside the case.

On the fifth minute temperatures were about 74-75 Celsius and my pc crashed as it happened before. But when I check the case, all the fans were running on high speed (including gpu) like the tests were still running on but my screen was completely dark.

Then I restarted my pc so I can post these results but the moment I opened my browser my pc crashed again. I tried both screens one by one but the result is still the same.

But I saw a notification on windows 10 saying "display driver failed to start"

Right now it crashes almost every minute when I turn it on
