I have just upgraded from a GTX660 to a GTX970 a week ago. After few hours into The Witcher 3 my screens went black for a moment. My secondary screen immediately turned on again, with no visible differences from before. However, my primary screen which I was playing on did not turn back on. (Screen is obviously on but completely black) I could still hear the game audio and interact with it, but I couldn't make the screen come back on. Alt-Tabbing or ctrl-shift-esc/ctrl-alt-delete did nothing on this screen but obviously worked judging from my secondary screen. The screen was just black. This has now happened several times a day ever since.
I can confirm that this happens weather I have the card overclocked or not (I started overclocking after this happened a few times) and that my GPU temperatures are completely fine, never higher than 76°C (when overclocked, don't know normal temp) in The Witcher 3, and around 60°C in Magicka 2. (I haven't played much else, and this happens in both games)
Basically, what I would like to find out is if there are compatibility problems or software problems, as I could send the card back and request a new one if there is something wrong with the card itself.
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth P67
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
Graphics Card: MSI GTX 970 4GD5T OC
RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance
Power supply: Corsair TX650
I can also mention that I have updated my BIOS to the latest version without any effect.
This is my first ever post here, so please ask if I have forgotten some information. I have looked at other posts and tried to include the info they have.
