So I recently bought a GTX 970. It installed fine, drivers installed and it re-started with no problems. I only get issues when I start up a game and get in to actual gameplay. I've tried two games so far. The first is Lords of the Fallen. Within a few seconds of loading a game, everything freezes, and then the whole screen goes a bright, lime green. After a short while my PC restarts. When it gets back on to Windows, an error report says it's recovered from a Blue Screen. The BCcode is 116.
The other game I've tried is Wolfenstein: The New Order. This game does slightly better, but it's still very unstable. It freezes for about a minute every few seconds, and when I open the menu. After a few minutes I actually do get a Blue Screen, and when it restarts the BCcode this time is f4.
Again, when I'm on the desktop, and in in-game menus, everything's fine. It's only when I get in to actual gameplay there are problems. Graphics drivers are definitely up to date. I did have an AMD card before but I used DDU to clean out the drivers. Probably also worth mentioning, once when it restarted from LotF's lime screen, I opened the case and the GPU felt super hot, but I according to GPUTemp it never went above 60 degrees.
