I bought a brand new Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! edition, it's about a week and a half old and I am having an issue where during games I will get an occasional small red line that flashes across the screen. After about 20-30 minutes of gaming. The screen will just go black. Nothing freezes though, I can still hear the in game music and my display reads an input because it doesn't go on standby. The only way to do something is to restart the computer though. When I restart I get an image like this: https://imgur.com/a/JWoLv
Then when it actually boots into windows again its black and I have to restart again. When I restart again, then it finally works. I have tried using DUU and reinstalling all the drivers. This usually occurs in Playerunknown's Battle Grounds but it has also happened in the Crew.
I bought this GPU because my previous R7 370 was having issues where it would freeze and I would have to restart the system.

I actually tried this and so far I have had no issues. It seems to have fixed the issue. I will keep testing and hopefully nothing more goes wrong. I had tried everything before that, reinstalling drivers, reseating the card, multiple PCIE slots, putting it in another build (which proved the card had no issues). Thank you very much for your help.
