I have a gtx 970 which crashes on certain games only (the talos principle ,metro) the game's exe stops working and when launching it again it says it had not shut down correctly and asks if i want to run in safe mode
but today it crashed everything , i couldnt pull task manager ,alt+tab or whatever and i had to force shutdown
could it be a faulty card ?
i have updated drivers and these problems happen only in these games
 
Solution
Most likely issue is just bad driver install, make sure you clean install, not just write over.

If a clean install of the drivers doesn't work, the next likely issue is your power supply. What unit are you using?

Its just those two games everything else runs just fine
I ran benchmarks on it too with no problems its most likely a driver problem ill try it out later
