I've recently put together my own PC.
-Intel i7 4790k
-Asus GTX 970 Turbo
-MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition
-Patriot 16 GB. DDR3 Ram 1600 MHz
-OCZ 120 Gb SSD
-WD Black 1 TB HDD
-Lepa 700m Gold PSU

I have had this build for less than a month. I recently ran into some problems, I believe that it is the graphics but I would appreciate a second opinion or even an answer.

So my graphics card has been acting weird, both my screens plugged into it would not receive a signal, and the fan on the card would spin rapidly. On occasion it would spin rapidly then stop spinning after 30 seconds.I have the most up to date drivers , so I am sure it isn't that. Another thing I had noticed is that the screens would flicker and Screen tearing on even the most basic task. I am left to believe my card may have a defect on it from the manufacture.

If I am missing something please let me know, I have several days left to return this to the location I bought it at. Thanks.
