Hey guys!

So I got my 970 shortly after Christmas and it had been working fine since around the 29th. Yesterday I launched Battlefield 4 the way I had done every time before and played for a while, roughly an hour and a half. Randomly my ASUS monitor (vs248h) said "HDMI no input." This had been an error back when I first hooked up the computer and the fix was to simply get another HDMI cord and it worked.

Unfortunately we don't have another HDMI cord at the current time. Thinking it was the cord I plugged in the DVI cable and it still said no input. I had to do a hard restart to get my display back. Launching Battlefield again and I saw the loading screen, then immediately it happened again. Called it quits for yesterday.

Today I opened up my case and made sure the card hadn't come loose - it hadn't. Thinking I could have had a software change that's causing this I reset Windows, something I had intended to do anyway. Installed all of my typical stuff and reinstalled Battlefield. Once again saw the loading screen and then the monitor claimed no input. No matter what I did it said I had no input - unplugging the cables, trying HDMI again, whatever. I had to once again do a hard restart to get my display back.

When I plugged the monitor into my motherboard I experienced no issues what-so-ever leading me to believe it's my card. It would appear to be any graphically intense game that 'crashes' me. The Heaven Benchmark (https://unigine.com/products/heaven/) crashed me too, immediately as it began loading.

I haven't touched overclocking or any settings - everything is default from the factory. Again this had been working for close to a month without issue and this just randomly started happening.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks so much!

Things I've tried:
- Restarting computer (ALWAYS gets my display back but launching again 'crashes' me.)
- Updating driver - I'm up to date.
- Reinstalling Windows
- Reinstalling games/benchmarking software.
- Checking to make sure the card hadn't fallen out.
