Ok here is the problem. If I start a playing a game or run a furmark for example, my screen goes black and says ''no signal''. Before it goes black it usually goes still first and I can hear the sound for a couple of seconds.

Here are some of my experiements:
• Reinstalled os & drivers
• Seated GPU again
• Cleaned pc
• Tested problem with several games → no signal
• Furmark with any settings → no signal
• Furmark with underclocked clocks and with most minimal benchmark --> runs
• 4k youtube video → no problems

Rig
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
GPU: Asus HD 7870 Direct CU II (2GB)
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.50GHz
MB: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z87P-D3
RAM: 8,00Gt Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
PSU: Corsair CX500
 
Solution
With your rig would want a good 500 watt PSU and the CX doesn't really fit into that area, those are made with weak caps and if I remember correctly only have about 450 watts on the 12 volt rail, I see if you could borrow a good 500 or better OSU abnd try it to see if that is the problem

Thanks for quick response mate and happy new year! My budget is like +- 300 euros. I've been looking at GTX 970 and R9 390. But at the second hand I could get used gpu and live with it till I get money for better one. My friend could sell his 7970 to me for 100 euros and I've been thinking about it. It would still be an upgrade according to this table http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

EDIT: Would like to try nvidias side cause I like to edit alot. People say that the cuda cores help. I play alot of different games and would like ESO to run good but I don't think I'll be a problem
