Hey guys, think this is my first post to this forum not much of a forum person but I thought this would be my best bet.

So a little background on my problem, I cleaned out my rig the other week (very long overdue) some of the dust had become solid on the rad! Stripped it down and cleaned up the cables, left the CPU where it was but moved everything else. PC wouldn't boot, RAM LED was lit red and no display.
Tried everything to fix it, cleared CMOS, factory bios and back to updated, tried every stick of ram individually.

PC specs at the time:
Intel i5 3570k
Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard
Corsair H100i
Antec HCG 900w
Samsung Green 16GB RAM
Seagate 240GB SSD
Nvidia GTX 780 Windforce OC

Ended up buying some Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB and a Corsair HX750 (purely because mine wasn't modular)

The first boot was fine, booted straight away and I had a blast on the Battlefront beta, next day I boot up and get this message that my pc had suffered from a BSOD locale 2057, tried searching this and get many different answer all pointing to different things, I have crash logs etc but not sure how to read them.

Weirdest thing is, if I update my graphics driver to the current version, the display will turn off after 2-10 minutes, PC will carry on running but no display, I deleted the driver in safe mode, loaded back up and windows installed an older driver, then it goes back to having the BSOD problem between 20-40 minutes usage.

Please help I'm completely baffled with this one and really don't want to waste all this money..
 
Thanks for that, I'd hate for it to be going already, had it about a year.

When I try to install the latest driver, the display turns off after about 30 seconds of using the pc, the old driver stays on longer
