970 347.88 issue

Try rolling back to 347.09 its a very stable driver.

The likelihood of a bad driver damaging/killing your card is almost non exsistant in all honesty

hi do you have raptr installed? I had this installed from my previous AMD card which I didn't realise but when I updated to the 347.88 driver it was causing my games to crash on start up.

Use disk manager to shrink a partition on a drive, create a new one in the free space and install Windows to it, install not the 347.88 drivers, try and launch a game/etc from the main drive. If it crashes it's the card, if not you have a software issue/conflict.

May sound like a bit of work, but sending back the card is too, especially if it is a software issue/conflict and they cant find an issue.

Afterwards you can just delete that partition and expand the one that was there previously.

Tried this and still it's crashing... i found my old graphics card under my bed... i have installed that and now everything is working fine! ... the big question is while im waiting for my replacement, can a gtx 470 play GTA V ... lol
 
This is rather odd,that a driver could damage a card and force an RMA tho.

Keep us updated OP with the RMA outcome,it would be interesting to know imo
