I could really use some help/advice with this. I just bought a GTX 970 and installed it along with another 8 gigs of ram in preparation for Fallout in a few days. It was working fine for the first hour but while in the middle of playing Witcher 3 my drivers crashed, and suddenly I had green pixels all over my screens, as well as a big pink line made of pixels curving across one screen. The drivers then crashed multiple times and then hit a solid grey screen which forced me to restart.
Upon booting back into windows I could see the same green pixels on the log-in screen, and after about 10 seconds the screen would cut to another colour and remain like that. Sometimes the drivers would crash and come back but would always eventually freeze. I then went into safe mode and cleared all my drivers using DDU. I then removed the GPU, reseated everything and made sure the wired were hooked up properly, and then tried again.
Everything went back to normal when I rebooted this time, and I reinstalled the second newest drivers to see if it was an issue caused by the latest release. After rebooting again everything was fine for about 15 minutes until I started using chrome for a few minutes and the colours started flashing until it crashed again and the green pixels/solid color screens came back. I tried various other drivers and they all started to crash immediately upon getting to the log into windows page. At one point I even got an actual BSOD rather than just a solid colour screen.
This is what I am running. Using Windows 7 64 bit. The PSU is almost brand new as I recently had to replace an old one that burnt out and I also reapplied thermal paste at that time.
