Is anybody else with this card having this problem? It only seems to happen when I play Skyrim, and Metro 2033. Not sure if other games will cause my computer to crash with a black screen. I have already done a stress test with FurMark, and it didn't crash. Tweaked the fan curve so that the temperatures stay at around 60-70C, so It can't be that it's overheating. I did notice that at first, my ASUS motherboard would restart my computer because of surge protection, now that I disabled it, it won't give me the message, but it still crashes and I have to restart. I know that it can't be my PSU that's faulty, because my computer didn't have this problem with my old PNY GTX 770, which requires more wattage. If somebody could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Edit: A BIOS Update fixed my problem, will update on status if problem comes back.

Here's my specs for reference:

is the card overclocked or at stock settings?

It's the Superclocked version. This one:  And I tried playing other games, and for some reason, Tomb Raider, didn't crash at the highest possible settings at 1920x1080 resolution. So I'm really confused. Unless Metro 2033 is overloading the graphics card or something. Maybe I need to underclock it so it matches the regular version of this card?

Many people are having good results when they disable physx or using cpu for physx.

I seem to be having a similar issue with my 970 SSC ACX2.0.
 
The screen will go black (explorer windows will flicker once or twice), then remain black, with just the mouse cursor visible.

Unfortunately, I don't have a second PC at hand. I'm in the middle of doing a full driver clean and PCIe slot switcharoo to see if that helps.

Also, the thing I find most peculiar, is how some games will work, any video, and all stress tests worked. Just a couple of games so far give me the dreaded black screen and PC reset. And my ASUS board is causing that restart for "Surge Protection." Is it really possible that only some and not all games cause that? I keep thinking it's a driver error, since they are very new cards. Has anyone with the 900 series cards had problems with Metro2033 or Skyrim?
