Hello again, everyone. I really hope you guys can help me this time, as I can no longer afford to replace any more hardware. My computer functions fine, but the screen goes black within a few minutes of launching any game! The audio continues for a bit, then that goes out as well. I can only fix it by hard restarting. Nothing that I know of is over heating. I also tried running both furmark and Prime95 separately, and together, and it did not crash. I also tried changing my GPU driver to the beta driver.
Specs:
Motherboard: Asus z97-a
Ram: 32gb Ripjaws
GPU: Dual Sapphire HD 7870 Ghz edition OC (tried underclocking 50mhz)
PSU: 850w

I checked and all the voltages seem to be fine.

Why doesn't the same thing happen when I run the stress tests then?

Benchmarks and stresses run just fine, but games don't.

Well it could be that a single card is failing. To really test out if that is the case you would need to pull 1 card out. Run tests if that card fails, then try the other. If everything is close together though, it could be an overheating issue.
