Hi there, i have recently built a new rig:
15-6600k
gtx970
ga-z170 mobo
8gb ram
120gb ssd
1tb hdd

i got it all up and running last night, latest drivers and all that, then installed GTA5. After about 3 hours of waiting for that, i fired it up to find it was running in a windowed mode. I changed the setting to full screen then applied and the screen just stayed black, i got it to run full screen but at under 1080p. tried a few games after that and all the same when it comes to the graphics settings. Yet my desktop resolution is 1920x1080. Any help would be appreciated, thanks
 
thanks. its not black screening though, it just goes black when i change the settings to 1080p then because i cant see press enter to keep settings it reverts back to the resolution i had before. it will play gta5 fine on anything below 1080. but whats throwing me off is i just played Rainbow siege maxed out on 1080 and it worked fine..

Hmm, try some other games maybe? Does 3dmark Firestrike work OK?
 
Try enabling/disabling vsync. Sounds stupid but I know someone who had to change to on/off depending on game played to stop stupid things happening in full screen mode, in windowed mode it will use whatever refresh rate your desktop is using.
