Recently got a 970 and have noticed it's been crashing to a blank white or colored screen when playing older games or less demanding games eg. Heroes of the storm.

The temperatures are around 60 to 75 degrees during the crash and requires a restart when it happens.

Specs:
CPU: i5 4590
Ram: 4BGx2 Crucial 1600mhz
Storage: 128GB SSD + 250GBSSD +1TB HDD
PSU: Coolermaster G500
Motherboard: ASUS h110m-k

First thing to check as with any of the other 1,000 posts on video card issues, test the card in another system to make sure the card is fine. If you "recently" got it, I'm guessing it's used, which would increase the chance of it being bad. You also have a lower quality power supply, that can cause issues. Check for a newer BIOS for the motherboard.
