This has happened twice in the past few months, my monitor will stop receiving signal from my graphics card and it won't display anything till I restart my computer. While my screen is black I can hear all my applications still running and my computer is still on and if I'm on a voice chat program with somebody I'll still be able to talk and hear them.

I'm suspecting it's my graphics card dying but I'm not too sure, any help is appreciated.

PC Specs:
Intel Core i7 4790K Quad Core @ 4GHZ
ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer ATX LGA1150
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5

Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3

My PSU is about 4 months old, I recently replaced it because the old one died so I doubt it's that. My graphics card is a little over 2 years old while my monitor is over 4 years old.
