Hey,
My computer is a nice gaming PC and I have started to have issues. It sometimes doesnt display video when the pc is turned on and it takes many restarts to get it to show video. Also it will sometimes say driver crashed and then the pc freezes and shuts down. Also I did a fresh reinstall of windows and tried both crimson and catalyst drivers and also it will freeze and crash when playing games/surfing chrome/ on desktop. I am pretty sure its the GPU whats your opinion
Specs:

gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3
1TB WD
i5 2500k NOT overclocked
120GB kingston
Corsair GS600 PSU
Bitfenix case
8GB Corsair vengence
Stock cpu cooler
HD 6950 2GB
Wifi card
Sound card 5.1
windows 10 pro

please help me

It sounds like a dying GPU to be honest. My brother had the exact same thing happen with his 680 until it just wouldnt display anything anymore after a month or so. See if the problem still occurs by plugging directly into your mobo.

have you updated bios recently?
Have you run a program like Driver Booster to see if any new drivers for pc?
which are you running, catalyst or the Crimson beta? your card is now in the legacy section of their support program.
