Just recently I have had an issue of my PC crashing when ever I start a game. The crashed cause my GPU to stop outputting anything and my monitor goes blank. (Just like if you unplugged it). The PC restarts afterwards.

Ive had this build for just under a year now, nothing like this has ever happened.

PC Specs:
i5-4690k Non OC
MSI GTX 970 Non OC
MSI GAMING 5 Z97
CX600M
Corsair Vengeance 1600 (16 GB)


I intalled "WhoCrashed" to help my find what was causing these crashes, this is what I got;

I also installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and intalled all updated drivers.

My PC even crashes when loading a game menu.

My temps look fine and don't go over the 50C mark
 


Opps, accidentally picked this as solution, you can tell im new. :pfff:

I will try reinstall but I already have that version.
