Max Temp for the GTX 970 4gb is 98C, I don't think the GPU temp is the issue. What temp is your CPU while gaming?

Another thought is maybe there's an issue with your power supply?

ya i know max temp is 98c but as its a zotac card may be its too hot for it as it doesn't have good cooling. and regarding cpu temp i have to find it out and my power supply is a good one i assume.but there is no way to figure out if its causing issue or not.are there any way to figure out ?

I don't exactly know how to determine if your PSU is causing issues unless you try a better quality unit with higher watts. I suppose you could use a program like GPU-Z and record the max draw of your components and see if its pushing your PSU too hard leading to the shutdowns.

I can't currently see the pic as i'm on a work PC, I can tell you in a few hours when I get home or if you can post it through Gyazo which should allow me to view it.
