I built a computer last week with a EVGA GeForce GTX 770 and it worked great for the first day or so when I was playing Watch Dogs. The next day I went to play again and when I tried loading the game, the screen went black and said "HDMI No Source" and Windows restarted. I have been trying numerous things to fix it but it still is not working. I don't know if something is wrong with the video card or the OS or something else. I have been trying to look up answers and some people were saying it could be my video card overheating but I don't even get to play the game before it crashes so it has no time to overheat. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit and I have all the drivers installed. I am really stumped with this problem.

Motherboard: ASRock H97M Pro4
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770
CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.0 GHz 6 MB Cache LGA 1150
RAM: 4GBx2 GSkill F3-12800CL8D
Power Supply: Fractal Design Integra R2 500W
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache
SSD: Crucial MX100 128GB SATA
Monitor: ASUS|LED 23.6" 2MS VS247H-P
Case: NZXT BLACK CA-H230I-B1
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

Then I have an optical drive and a wireless card. I never looked at my CPU temps but I will have to do that when I get home because I am at work. I am just using the CPU cooler that came with it so that could be the problem.

The weird thing is that it was working for a few hours when I was playing Watch Dogs. Now when I try to load the game it will sometimes get to the main menu but then crash and other times it won't make it that far.

Can you also check your 12v, 5v and 3.3v readings? - in uefi or from HWInfo - Sensors. Your PSU is unusual and therefore sus.

Yes, I will post that all later on. If it would be my power source, could you post a link to a better one I could get?
