I tried running with just the IGPU but its not putting enough stress on the PSU to cause an issue, or maybe the GPU is the issue?
The system only crashed when the GPU is being utilized, be that in games or stresstests. I can Linpack just the CPU and it wont crash. The system crashes pretty quickly in a combined CPU and GPU Test (as within 4 seconds) and in a test like Furmark it turns off and restarts within 20 seconds or so.
Ive tried different power leads / checked everything is seated correctly.
I can try a different PCI slot for sure, haven't done that yet.
Realistically it could be the PSU at fault, the motherboard or the GPU. God knows.
