Update 27/1 II
Ok with lots of knocking on wood and all that, system seems to be running stable now. I did lots of weird, small things(unplugging everything, switching to DVI-l, removing any and all extra electrick.. things plugged in same hub with PC and monitor. Also updated Bios. Yesterday evening, I was...very alarmed to notice there was clear static electricity happening on wires of my Headphones. Relocated them from back/motherboard to front of the PC. Currently everything seems alright. Not using PrecisionX either. Comp not sounding like it is a helcopter either, anymore. If things stay like this, I just might be happy!! Thank you very much for one and all. Gonna have to wait and see.. Maybe 45 mins stable now..
UPDATE 27/1, Old issue/post still current I fear
This is how my Precision-X looks like when idle and on Dekstop: http://imgur.com/KNwAXdG
With great measure of knocking on the wood and stuff, I may have gotten things running stable. Seems keeping PrecisionX up and running, and working HARD did the trick. Now my fans are working so hard I recon I have a quieter vacuum cleaner than a PC.
Here is precision-X Overlay and curve after 30 mins of Witcher. http://imgur.com/IIdElpq
..Hm, since Precision X has " auto" switched on, does it even care of my curves running some default instead perhaps?
*** OLD POST BELOW, STILL a Current issue***
Hello,
Brand new computer with brand new parts. Using Windows 10. Using current official Geforce experience drivers for the GPU.
After few minutes of Witcher 3, my monitor(and display card, I assume..) are turned off. Only way to bring them back alive is forced power off/back on of the computer. Game itself doesn't seem to crash; sounds all keep playing all right even after the screen goes dark.

SPECS:
Motherboard: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
CPU Intel Core i7-6700
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4 GB
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2 x 8 GB
Power: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 (80Plus Gold)
Cooling: : SilentiumPC Fera 2 HE1224 v2

I assume these symptoms are caused by some issue with my power or display card. I spend six years of gaming without any difficulty with my previous computer so I'm completely lost in anything having to do with cooling or custom fan management.
I'll pay 25 Euro/Dollars for a detailed, good answer
that A) assumes I know nothing about finer bits of customizing and operating cooling, fan speeds and such
and
B) fixes my problem and results in me being happy owner of a stable healthy system that runs W3 without killing my GPU or CPU or anything else.
Pref Paypal for this
It feels very important for me to fix the disease, not the symptom here. Ability to run W3 isn't some be all end all here, but it feels very important to understand WHY I am unable to keep my system stable during it and sort the cause out.
According to HWMonitor, my GPU temperatures are approaching high 70's in C slightly before the GPU goes off. I've never seen it at 80c though. Elsewhere, I got told this is fairly high in-game reading for the card. I'd tweak my settings via EVGA precision X but I have no idea how to do so in optimal fashion in situation where the default settings of my card don't appear to work. Moment I turn Precision X on, it causes my fans go wild. Sound sounds healthy and everything, but they begin spinning far faster than they would when I do not have Precision X on. Is this normal? If I try W3 with Precision X and my fan curve on, fans go absolutely INSANE. Again, sound feels..healthy, they just do crazy RMPs.
Here is a link to my HWMonitor stats when system is in desktop, normal browsing. EVGA Precision X is not on. I'll send more pics very soon:

UPDATE: After some 30 mins in Star Wars, The Old Republic ( MMO from 2012) with ultra settings, system is stable, and GPU temp foes between 70c and 73c.
The GPU comes with factory-overclocking. I have done no overclocking myself. CPU is not overclocked either. Would be very grateful of any and all help here...these are sad issues to have with pretty good, brand new computer I could barely afford:/
