I just built this computer 1 week ago. Only issue I am currently having is that when I play SC2 after 20-40 minutes I get a black screen. Can still hear sound and if I hit Alt+F4 can hear the quit menu pop up. So I'm thinking it is definitely an issue with the card somehow. I have to do a reboot with the power button.
 
Drivers: 362.00
Clean windows 10 install.
Any help would be great, first build in 7 years so I'm not the most knowledgeable about computers right now.
 
Thanks!

    Have you tried everything listed here to see if it helps resolve your issue? If not, try those suggestions first. What motherboard are you using? Is your motherboard bios up to date? If not, update it and retest. What make/model of psu are you using?

    Power supply EVGA 600B
    Mobo: Gigabyte z170x-gaming 5
     
    I did not do anything with the motherboard bios so I'm not sure if it is up to date or not. I will work on that list and see what I can do.
     
    Thanks for the quick response!

    So options #1 and #2 did not work.
     
    Putting the settings in debug mode did seem to stop it. I will have to try more tomorrow. What does the debug mode do?

    It allows the card to run at reference clocks, negating the factory overclock.
