I recently (3 days ago) upgraded from a GT 640 to a GTX 970. It all went well pc turn on after the swap without any problems, but today I woke up, and on turning on the pc the monitor didn't show anything. I checked the HDMI cable and was correctly plugged in, tried the DVH and also didn't work.
The MSI logo on the card was lit and the fans were spinning (the fan spinning is weird because I think they don't do that on boot). Everything seemed correctly connected and I can't figure out was is wrong.
I ended up swapping it again for the GT 640 and everything seems fine.
A friend ask me if the graphics card was getting enough Amps. Could not enough Amps cause this behavior? How can I check what Amps my PSU can deliver to the Graphics Card? Does it explain how it worked fine for 3 days and suddenly stopped displayed image?
Heres a screen of PSU (I don't know what I should be looking on for amps)
