ASUS Strix GTX 970 Hardware Problems

I'm just wondering if anybody has heard of reported hardware problems when it comes to this card. The first one I purchased was faulty right from the start as I was getting random black screens and screen tears. I got it RMA'd and was shipped a replacement refurbished card which worked great for about 2 weeks. Now I'm getting the exact same issues but even worse.

I rebuilt my system this spring and putting an older EVGA GTX275 card in it doesn't cause this problem so I don't suspect it's any other hardware component. I will be opening another support case with ASUS to have this one returned but it's starting to get expensive shipping these things back on my dime.
