There is a members market (MM) to sell stuff on the OCUK forums, but you now need to have 1000 posts to access it as well as 180+ days of being around/active account.

Oh I see.

Well it seems the GPU may not be at fault after all, I've just added a post to my original thread here:

Sorry, didn't read the whole thread prior to posting. Had you not tried a clean OS install, or alternate PSU etc. first? I thought (sorry assumed) that this is standard practice, or it is just second nature to me these days.

Anyhow, nothing wrong with a nice strip down and rebuild, and if you don't want to lose your OS you could either image it/back up, or buy a super cheap £15 SSD and do an install on that to see how it goes.

I haven't tried a fresh install or PSU no because in the end swapping the GPU gave instant success that lasted a few days, until today.

I might remove my drives and put a fresh windows install onto a spare SSD I have.
