Something seriously wrong with PC

Been happening for the past 4 days where my graphics card span to max in BF4 startup and crashed the PC to black screen and when I restarted my screen had artfacts over parts of the screen in BIOS then in windows it was totally covered. I thought this was my card as when I removed it and went to clear CMOS it worked again but putting the card back in was a post but no screen.

Now I my BIOS screen keeps freezing but when I get past it I can play CSGO on my intel graphics and it runs fine but if I restart I get this whole issue with restarting my PC.

Now I've ran my CPU in IBT for only 5 minutes at stock but that was absolutely fine my PSU voltages looked fine in HWinfo and I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic which have all come back clear, all I can think of now is probably the motherboard?

I ordered a Fury which will be here tomorrow which is annoying me to hell as I now have a totally borked PC and considering just saying screw it and going for a 6700k with 4000mhz RAM :p

Can you try it without the graphics card installed ? try using the onboard graphics only:)

It sounds like the graphics card memory is failing to me.

Yeah I did that but it originally fixed it but now it is doing the freeze on BIOS again, started with taking out sata cables and I think I might be onto something. Seems to not boot well if I have one of my SSD' and one HDD running. Wondering if this board has a dead PCI-E and Sata ports?

Yeah I already ordered a R9 Fury yesterday so will be here tomorrow but I also think my motherboard is dying as it keeps flaking out and when trying to restart PC it just keeps freezing in the BIOS even without the card although it is kind of working right now. Thing is once in windows I can play CSGO on the intel graphics and I'm typing this right now on it. If I want to restart I reckon I will have about 5+ restarts before it works again :( I've had an expensive month so all I want is for my PC to last until next year :/

Funny I'm running intel burn test right now maxing the power as much as possible with all RAM used and no problem whatsoever with stability, if my PSU was going surely I'd of crashed ^_^

See how it behaves when you get the fury :)

Just put it in and it still doesn't work. BIOS started freezing again. I don't think it is the PSU as I have my old "dead" R9 290 connected to my psu without it in my PCI-E slot and my PSU is booting fine. I'm almost certain it's a bad BIOS chip. I will pop out later and get a 2032 coin battery.
