Pc crashing on boot up

Hi All,

Last week I was playing fm17 when my pc completely froze. I had to hard reset with the case button.
When I tried to log in to Windows again it just boots up past BIOS screen then it freezes on the windows logo with spinning dots.

I tried reinstalling windows and formatting hard drives. Setting BIOS back to default. Reinstalling drivers. I removed my GPU and booted up with integrated graphics from mobo hdmi out and the pc will work as normal. When I put my GPU back in the freezing issue returned. Does this point to a GPU problem. About 2 seconds after it freezes the monitor will go to loss of signal as if it isn't receiving video signal anymore.

Any help would be appreciated.

Specs:
CPU:Intel i5-3570k (not oc'ed) Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK Memory: 8GB KINGSTON HYPERX BEAST DDR3 2400MHz X.M.P Graphics Card: Gtx 780ti 1st Hard Disk120GB KINGSTON V300 SSD 2nd Hard: 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX Power Supply: CORSAIR 650W TX650 V2-80
 
Just board, ram and hd, no other peripherals? I know it maybe a pain but maybe testing with another psu to rule out power delivery to the gfx card. But from what you describe id say gfx is toast :(
 
No problem. Only thing my friend lives far away so may be a problem to borrow from him. I was looking to upgrade my gpu anyway so maybe just wait til after Christmas and upgrade. If I need to buy a new psu also then so be it :D
