Are you certain its not overheating?
Iv already said its not overheating. the temps are low and the same they have always been and thats the first thing you check when you have an issue like this. Either way it will be sorted now with changing to this bundle. Reguarding the card. Is it worth getting something like the 7970 ghz model and ocing or can you get just as good performance with overclocking the 7950 model. Will this new cpu at 4.40 bring the best out of an overclocked 7970?
Thanks for the help so far.
Try it outside the case with 1 stick of RAM in.
To start the system short the pins with a flathead screwdriver.
