Hi everyone,

A customer has brought an Asus Strix GTX970 which is working fine without drivers, while installing graphics drivers screen goes black and system resets completely, anyone had a similar issue and where to check for? Can it be a VRM or Memory related problem or you think it is related to GPU itself?

its GPU only, for more info need chek components and resistance from video card logic board

What values to check?

i think you need measure resistance between all capacitors and ground, use diode mode at your multimeter

and at another side between all Transmitter Lane Differential pair and ground
