So I built a new computer a few months ago and bought everything new except my graphics card(GTX 970 strix) because of the prices. When I had built my computer I started installed window and all that when I later had downloaded a game I tried to run it but my computer black screened I was in discord and I could talk to my friends so it seems that my graphics card had crashed. I tried a couple more times and changed things but I remembered that I had a GTX 660 strix lying around so I decided to try that and it worked. Because it worked I just assumed that my old graphics card broke when I took it out of the old computer but I recently bought a new 970 from my friend that definitely works because I tried it in my old computer as well but it was the same problem I have also tried a different pci-e port but still the same things happens so I'm just wondering if it's the motherboard or what.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING
RAM: Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 Vengeance
PSU: Antec HCG Gold 750W
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 250GB
HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200rpm 64MB

Have you installed any gpu monitoring software it is a possiblity that the gpu is being overvolt and it just kinda shuts down.to protect to self

The gpu isn't under any kind of extra stress egen it crashes it isn't warm at all either
