Hi Everybody,
First, I'll start with my system specs, please note that I have upgraded my GPU and PSU few weeks ago:
System Specs:
I press start button in my case, system starts normally but no signal on screen, even windows boots to log in screen, I know it from start up sound, I shutdown the PC, start it again, and it works!.
This problem happens infrequently, it may happen once or twice a day, or may not happen at all, and it is not related to how many times I shutdown or restart the PC. I'm not able to reproduce the problem nor solve it.
The problem was happening more frequent first day I installed the new parts, and it started to disappear slowly until today.
The Story
I upgraded my PC few weeks ago, I had an AMD 7850 and a 500W PSU, but I was not seeing any such problems.
When I installed the new parts(GPU + PSU), the problem happened exactly, GPU was not sending any signals to monitor, I had to recheck cables, re-install parts and restart multiple times, before it finally worked.
I used the PC normally, did some benchmarks, played some games, it was performing just great, temperatures were perfect, I shutdown my PC, and started it again, the problem happened again, I had to restart it one time to work.
After that, I used my PC for several days, I didn't see ANY stability or performance issues, the PC was working normally, I restart/shutdown it several times a day, and it works without problems, except for sometimes, when the problem happens, without any reason(at least for me).
Important Notes
The Question
I don't really know if this is a defective card or PSU, if it is just a compatibility issue, or what, what I'm really sure about is that every answer will help getting closer to the problem, to solve it, or at least to re-produce it, please share your opinions and/or suggestions, I appreciate your time in advance.
Thanks and best regards,

System Specs:
Gigabyte Motherboard GA-H97-D3H
Intel Core i7 4790
2 X 4GB Corsair Vengeance RAM + 1 X 2GB Corsair CMX RAM (total 10GB)
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 (Just upgraded)
Seasonic m12ii 620W Evo Edition Bronze (Just upgraded)
Monitor Philips 227ELH - connected using DVI cable

Important Notes
1) This problem never happened with restarts, it only happens when I shutdown the PC and start it over again.
2) I tried to reproduce the problem, I shutdown the PC intentionally for about 40 consecutive times, but the PC was working without problems every time I start it.
3) I have 3 ports for PCIe power cable in my PSU, I tried them all, the problem still happens.
4) There were coil wine (very low noise) first days when the GPU render a LOT of fps, now it disappeared by itself.
5) While computer in the problem state, the Integrated graphics was working properly, and I made sure that dedicated GPU was not visible at all neither from BIOS nor Windows Device Manager.
