I have a i7-4770k and a gtx 970. i have the latest graphics drivers and latest drivers in general. i have had H1Z1 for over a year and never had a problem until recently. about a month ago, my game froze my screen turned grey. i thought it just crashed so i didn't think anything of it. then later that night it happened again. i reinstalled the game and the same thing has been happening. every time i verify the game cache it says "2 files failed to validate and will be reacquired" it has been happening for about a month now and i really have no clue what to do. every time it crashes it says "Application H1Z1.exe has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware" please don't say "update your drivers" or "reinstall the game" ive already tried that
Application H1Z1.exe has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware.

Is it only H1Z1? Or do other games do the same thing, crash or gray screen or any sort of graphical glitches? You can start by reinstalling the drivers and see if that helps.

That sounds like the same issue I had with my GTX580, 100% stable in DX9 or lower, DX10 or higher the card will crash no matter what I do for clocks or voltages, I even flashed an Asus Bios to the card and its an EVGA card, still the same issue.
But what I found that fixes it is to run the card in its 3d mode or max clock 24/7 which stopped the crashes in DX10 and newer games, I had to use Kboost in EVGA precision for Nvidia.
For AMD you can force 3d clocks with MSI afterburner and see if that fixes your problems, I had a R9 380x that kept crashing left and right, in fact it still crashes so im out $250 bucks as I got it back from Sapphire's RMA and they say there is nothing wrong with the card. The card was for a customer of mine, I kept it as I had no choice and I had to fork out the money for another card for the customer "Thanks Sapphire!". Anyway, the card is still in use in my other PC and has been forced at 3d clocks for over a year now with many different drivers, Kind of gave up on it.
Forcing 3D clocks will drive the idle temps up, but may put a "bandage" on your issue. Its more of a temp fix, If you reinstall your drivers from scratch and it still has issues, I'd see if you can get an RMA from whom you bought it from if its still under warranty.
GTX970 should not crash in DX11 games. Also try going back to drivers you knew worked before, but again it may not really be a fix. Also what Powersupply are you all running? Make and Model would help us determine if its a power issue.
