Hello everyone! I have had my custom PC built for a long time and have only run into one issue and that is with my graphics card. I have had a 760 SC -> 770 -> 980 Ti! I believe i ran into a similar issue in the past but cannot completely recall and will say it is irrelevant. Anyway, ever since I got my new card (980 Ti) I have noticed that the red lights on the motherboard will turn on for a moment as if it is being tested and what components I assume work will just turn the light off but with the DIGI+RAM light will turn on and stay on last and my computer will boot up but there will be no visuals. I now have to press the reset button on my case a couple times before the light will turn off and it will boot up with display and no issues. I have also run into problems while playing games and the game will freeze but not close down. I once sat for about 5 minutes until the game finally crashed leaving me with an error about how the graphics drivers failed. Any advice at all?

i5-4670k OC to 4.4 GHz w/ Asus 7 way optimization
Asus z97 motherboard I believe (at school posting so I don't have the hardware in front of me)
MSI GTX 980 Ti
Vengeance Blue RAM 1600 MHz 8 GB
128 GB SSD
1 TB Hard Drive
750 Watt Modular power supply

Is the Graphics Card overclocked? Can you do a HW Monitor on your computer when you get home and post the results:

Want to see what your temps are. You can run a stress test like Furmark to put load on your GPU...

This will get the temps up.

Also, would you do a RAM test on your computer?

This will test if your RAM is having any issues.
