I bought a Galax 970 just over a year ago and I've been running into some BSOD issues;
In addition to this, while playing Defence Grid 2 on very high (which really pushes the card up to 80 degrees, which most games rarely get to) my display will go to black for a second and then come back. This only happens after a few minutes of play (pretty much when it reaches that temperature). I'm not sure if this is a game issue or a hardware issue, but the recent BSOD's are making me think it isn't the game that's at fault.
Is my GPU going kaput? Do Galax have warranties for this sort of thing? I've been using 362.00 drivers, but have just switched to the latest as the BSOD's didn't stop. My Windows updates are completely sorted, running on W7 64-bit, 8GB RAM, 4670k CPU.
My only other idea is that the power supply is due to be replaced; it's a good model but it was installed back in 2009. It's getting replaced next month whether it's the cause of these issues or not anyway.
