This has happened a few times now. Turn the PC on, get the post beep but the monitor stays on standby. Unplugged the GPU and plugged the DVI cable into the one on the motherboard and it works. Usually once I do this I then plug the GPU back in and it all works fine but it isn't today. Also, when this happens my fans spin at max rpm constantly.

Anyone know why this is happening?
 
When booting from cold connected to the motherboard, does it all load up OK?

Try remove the overclock from the GPU, assuming it's clocked going by your signature.
 
Anyone else got any ideas? Been running it off my motherboard for a few days, just tried the GPU again and still to no avail.
 
Sounds very much like the GPU has had it, similar experience with a GTX 770 that l have had to RMA recently.
 
Have you tried installing the latest drivers for your graphics card?
Use the onboard graphics and remove old drivers on your graphics card and then install the latest drivers from the nVidia website!

When I use onboard graphics it works fine. Just uninstalled drivers and when I went to re install them it wouldn't let me, saying it couldn't detect my GPU. (it's plugged in)

Edit- Just had an email back from OCUK support and it's out of warranty.
