I bought this Gigabyte G1 970 about three months ago and since I got it, it's been crashing (sometimes freezing my computer forcing a restart) but only when i'm playing games. It seems to be completely random when it happens because I watch the sensors on GPU-Z and it's all normal then just crashes. I've sent the card back to Gigabyte for an RMA and they put in a new GPU and I'm still getting issues and now even more than before. Most of the time it's the Nvidia Kernel Drivers crashing and recovering but I've also gotten DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED errors as well as my computer sounds and screen freezing. I tried updating the BIOS and the nvidia drivers, and just about everything else that i've been told to try. I don' t think it's anything with my other components because I tried an EVGA 750ti and it never crashed once.
Here's my full system specs:
CPU - Intel i7 3770
GPU - Gigabyte G1 970
Mobo - AsRock Extreme4 Z77
RAM - 16GB of GSkill Ripjaws DDR3 1600
PSU - CoolerMaster Silent Pro M2 720W (This is what I'm thinking I should look into first)
OS - Windows 10 Pro
(This stuff is most likely irrelevant but i'll include it anyways)
HDD - 2x WD Black 1TB in RAID 0
SSD - Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
Wifi - Realtek card (just a cheap one I don't know the model)
I will also mention that I'm running three 21.5" monitors @ 1920x1080
