i have a gigabyte Z77-d3h and after installing the 970 it takes about 2 minutes on the motherboard screen before startup and the bios setup and q-flash and boot menu keys are not responding. therefore i cant boot from the usb drive in order to install new windows and to format the old one

Then unplug the gtx 970 >.>

Are you seeing anything on the screen or is the bios just not running. You should also try unplugging and replugging the keyboard. Sometimes the pc doesnt detect it unless you do that.

i get the screen displaying the motherboard and telling me the keys to press to open bios or boot menu ,in this case the f12 should open the boot menu , when i press the key nothing happens and a few minutes later i get a black screen and if i didn't press f12 in a few minuter the pc will boot normally
