Issue with computer showing a black screen

[Sathlez]

Hi, so recently my computer has been showing a black screen randomly. I'll just be watching a youtube video or playing a video game, and then my screen will suddenly turn black.

The computer would still be on, and even to the point I could press the space bar and the youtube video would resume playing with sound.

I tried re-seating the graphics card but still has the same issue.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Driver issues? Dying graphics card?

Thanks

Here is a list of my computer specs:

EVGA GTX 970 SC
AMD FX-8350
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard

I just dusted my case about a day ago, temps are fine, and It turns out I'm not up to date with drivers - updating now.
