Check your bios for PCIe x16 setting. If the setting is there and set to auto change it to Gen2.

Try underclocking the vid card. Also have you tried older drivers for the vid card ? Also could flash the motherboard and install older mobo drivers.

I'd agree on MOBO, however if you want to take some extra steps here are a few angles you can try in whatever order makes sense. If you have a Kil-O-Watt it may be helpful to see what happens to the wattage when you boot a game - does it spike too high?

- Try a simple memtest. One full pass.

- Try a simple processor test. Normally used to test stability on overclocking.

- Try FurMark - would be interesting to see if OpenGL runs fine.

- Try Heaven Benchmark - should definitely fail.

- Try taking the battery off the MOBO to cut power/reset it completely.

- Try re-seating the processor. I run an old i7 that I generally clock at 4.1GHz (stock clock is 2.67GHz). Ever so often, my computer will fail to boot and I have to set it back to stock rating to get it going. The only way I've gotten around this is to re-seat the processor, overclock - works fine after for months on end. Have had to do this 3 times so far. Never underestimate re-seating!

- Try running Furmark and Prime64 at the same time. This will cause your computer to suck up as much power as it possibly can. Good way to load the PSU.

Be wary of heat levels when using Furmark and Prime64, particularly Prime64.

Removed video card and used onboard HD 4000... still issues.

Does that mean you have catalyst AND nVidia software both installed? That would cause problems for sure.

wont that cause issues within the bios for having 2 differnt display cards software? and is that even possible to have 2 i though one might have over writed the other

I bet you have more bad memory. Run a memtest

Check the mother board for Cheetos dust. Mini-vac works.

Onboard video card meaning integrated into the motherboard?
Yeah, go get a new motherboard, even if it's a working mobo, it's fail anyway.

With the heat most video cards put out these days, I'm surprised manufacturers still build them in unless it's a shitty video card, if that's the case, see my previous statement.

is built into the cpu not the mobo
