Anyone care to guess what problem i have here. 1 out of 5 boots of the PC will result in a corrupt screen that looks like a borked gfx card however I've tried my on-board gfx and the same thing happens.

I've also tried various options with ram sticks and the same still happens.

The other problem is the screen will go black for a random time from 1sec onwards or sometimes resulting in having to reset the PC. Sometimes when the pc gets turned on the screen will come on out off standby but will stay black as if its off.

check this 30sec vid of the corruption

Able to try a second screen? A tv / projector / borrow one from family or friends for any amount of time?

Since you're saying its both onboard and gpu causing it, i'd look at the screen first.
