So a few months ago, I began to notice that my monitor would lose signal and sometimes crash when I was playing a game or doing CAD. Usually, I have to force a restart and then wait anywhere from 5-10 minutes for the signal to come back, other than that, the pc seems to be running or trying to run just fine. Sometimes I get a "display drivers have stopped responding and have recovered." I've tried two different gpu's but I'm still sure that it's a graphics issue since the onboard graphics works perfectly fine when doing games and design software, I also tried a different power supply and monitor so that rules out that. I assume that it's an overheating issue, but I want some other people's opinion on how to approach the next logical step to troubleshooting this since I'm still relatively a pc building noob.
My specs are:
GPU: Asus Radeon R9 270 (former was a Nvidia Geforce 660)
CPU: Intel i5 4670k
Mobo: MSI z87 G45 gaming board
PSU: Cooler master GX 750W
