when im playing a game from any longer than about 20 mins i get 2 black screens and the computer crashes. iv tried only using one screen and windowed mode , checked to see if anything is over heating. cant think of anything more to do help.

Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 970 G1 Gaming Edition Gaming Graphics Card
MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX Motherboard (Intel Z97, Socket 1150)
Corsair CMX8GX3M2B1600C9 XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz
Intel Core i5 4690K Processor (3.5 GHz, 6 MB Cache, LGA1150 Socket)

So power supply is not the most likely thing here, test the card in another system and see if it crashes there also.
Try running on one RAM stick at a time.

You did not say if anything was overclocked or not, if it is, run at stock speeds.

What is the power supply band and model? If system dies like that in gaming, could be too much head, bad video card, bad power supply. You can try running on one RAM stick at a time, maybe a clean Windows setup. If anything is overclocked set it all to stock speeds.

Check to see if your display driver recently updates (search device manager in search bar, find display driver, click on the driver and select properties, go to the driver tab and look at driver date), if it has been changed recently i would recommend either reinstalling the driver or changing back to the previous version
