Hey, I got my GTX 970 a while back and initially used a 500w power supply. After trying to overclock, it ran smoothly at 140 cores and 200 memory. It worked well in Heaven for about 30 minutes. Then the screen would randomly change colors and I had to force close the PC, sometimes even unplugging it. Thinking it was my PSU since it was only 500w, I upgraded to a 750w model from Fractal Design. After that, the same issue occurred again—works fine in Heaven but crashes during CS:GO after about 30 minutes, and the Witcher 3 NVIDIA kernel drivers keep freezing. I’m not sure what’s causing this and need your help!

Regards, Ben.

Consider disabling the memory overclock. How long did you run Heaven for? You might want to gradually reduce it and check stability.
