I'm hopefully looking for a solution to an issue I'm having with my ASUS GTX 970 STRIX card. When playing video games that seem to be more graphically intensive both my monitors will randomly go black and say "No signal". Any other time everything is fine and I don't have this issue, even when playing other games. A couple examples of games I'm playing when this happens are Battlefield 1 and Destiny 2. To get my display back I've been restarting my computer once it happens. Any Ideas of what is causing this to happen?

Here is a short list of my PC specs below:
Windows 7
Intel i7-4790K
ASUS GTX 970 STRIX 4GB
8GB RAM
Main Monitor: DVI-D
Secondary Monitor: HDMI
 
Solution
Overheating most probable.

- Is this problem recent, or has it been happening for some time?

- Please run HWMonitor and report your maximum GPU temp you can achieve in game. Placing the HWMonitor GUI on the 2nd display can aid in this.
