So, I've had this problem ongoing on and off since I received my PC (been about 11 months now). When I'm playing games at near max or max settings, my monitor will go blank and bring up a "no signal detected" message. Every time this happens, I need to reset my PC in order for it to come back on and i don't know what the cause is.

I've tried using DVI and HDMI connected up to my GPU but the problem still occurs.

I've downloaded a couple benchmark programs and had this problem occur in one of them which you can watch here [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

PC Specs:

CPU: Intel I5 6500 Skylake 3.20GHz
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-E Intel Skylake ATX
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance DDR4
GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 970 4GB
PSU: Aerocool Integrator 700W
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA III

I'm not 100% sure what the cause of this is and any help or solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Replace the PSU with something good and that should help. Otherwise, might be a faulty GPU.

Either faulty GPU or faulty drivers causing a crash and reboot.
