Ok so I built a new computer about 3 days ago and I can't run Garrys Mod, TF2 and on a graphics test it ran for 1 minute then crashed and I got this message:

Does this mean it is faulty, if it is how do I even send something back to OCUK, will they let me?

I ran it with this on these settings:

I'm going to bed now so if I dont reply I'll reply tomorrow morning, if you could, leave any hunches as to what you think my problem may be, thank you
 
Only suggestion at the moment would be to try the card in a different PC and see if you get the same problem.

This is the only way for sure you're going to know.

You say you tried an older driver.. Did you run DriverSweeper between uninstalling the newer and the old?

Have you tried safemode?
 
yeah make sure it a clean install of the drivers. As it could be residual files or configurations that causing the problem.
 
I had a few lumpy issues with mine after changing from AMD to nvidia but after a fresh windows install all was fine again :)
 

Havn't read the whole thread but looking at his Gpu-z why does it show Pci-e 16 @ x2. Surely that should be x16 or x8. Hope I'm not being thick here.:) Ok read whole thread and looks like the card is not in the correct Pci-e slot perhaps.

Ok had a look at your board and it looks like you may have the card in the black slot which is x4 mode but shares with the 2 X Pci-e x1 slots which may be why it shows @x2.
Or the card isn't seated properly in the blue slot(x16) which may be causing your problems Or your Pci-e power connector is not connected properly or faulty. Hope this helps.:)
