Since overvolting it it seems to be working in games but often crashes when loading streamed video i.e. bbc iplayer.

How would I go about checking that exactly?
Pale send it to MSI to replace it or flash it with a working BIOS with the correct voltages etc. It clearly is messed up that card. There is even an MSI rep on these forums, try contact him MSI-Guru

I'm saying the card is bad and you are wasting your time there with it, best way to confirm it is 100% right now is to send it to MSI mate and let them check it over or if they find nothing wrong with it hopefully they have a BIOS flash that may make it work right for your system, they may know something we don't with them cards and have a BIOS file for such occasions.
Also the card is under warranty, so use it mate. Also don't bake any graphics card or electronic device in your home oven, they give off toxic fumes and other nasty things can come off them or exploding components if not done correctly. Baking is only done as a last attempt on a card with no warranty and really best to send such items off to a company that can bake it for you correctly.

Reminds me of the GTX480 SOC fiasco. Lots of them wouldn't run at stock clocks and RMAs came back no fault found.. Voltage increase or back off the clocks were the only solution..
Return it if you had it under 7 working days under DSR..
