Basically, i was playing metro last light, when my GPU crashed (White boxes appeared all over my screen) it forced me to restart my pc.
Now, i can barely play minecraft without it screwing up.
Sometimes, even when i just start my computer up, it crashes, and white boxes appear all over my screen and it freezes (Sometimes the display driver recovers, but not for long)

I have a 750W PSU with around 62amps, easily enough for the gtx 970.

I tried doing a clean install of windows, but same things happen, crashes and flickering white lines and boxes everywhere.

Due to this, i'm forced to use my old R9 270x, which works perfectly.

Any idea what i should do? It sounds to me like a hardware issue though, maybe i should just RMA :/

One more thing, in Australia, how would i go about doing an RMA?
Their website has an address for service in australia, but how am i meant to tell them that i'm sending them something to be serviced and what is wrong with it etc :S

[EDIT]

Ignore this... They have an email address and phone number right under the location, ahah :S
