Alright got a reply, suggested sending it in for an RMA for checking and repairing if need be, going to wait till next monday and try my "fix" out for the rest of this week, as I don't want to be computerless for the weekend too. o_O
Oof, just seen that because my PC is out of the year warranty...
I only say disappointing because the past times I have emailed them they have replied the same day (Even though it was sunday yesterday), I didn't mean it in a negative way.
Just a quick update, as I have a freshly installed Windows I've gone back and disabled my OC and am not using the XMP profile for my ram, going back to 2133 from 3200, had a good full day of gaming and no issues. Not heard from PCS which is quite disappointing, next time I post is if I hear...
Got a completely fresh install running now and just gonna game on it till it does something, got until Thursday off from work so it'll be hammered, let windows find all my drivers too like you suggested before so heres hoping, thanks for all the help regardless
I wasn't aware of that but its not exactly something thats easy to track down and can't be easily reproduced, when I first sent my PC back with my issue last time it got damaged in transit so I had to wait 3 weeks for Gigabyte to repair the motherboard, I even asked PC Specialist multiple times...
Okay did a memtest last night, nothing found, did malwarebytes too since the memtest didn't take that long and nothing found.
I checked "whocrashed" and its implying that its caused by ntoskrnl.sys and another culprit, ntkrnlmp.exe. Its like everything is pointing to everything else and saying...
I'll be sure to do that, I'm gonna leave my system on a memory diagnostic while I sleep and I just did a sfc /scannow but it didn't pick anything up. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
Just a quick update, been running fine since I changed pci-e slots, but literally 5mins ago I get a BSOD playing Monster Hunter, "kernel_security_check_failure", bluescreenview says its related to hal.dll and ntoskernl.sys googling around implies that its related to some sort of hardware I'll...
Alrighty, gave it another shot, realised my locking pin had fallen out so thats why, but put it back in and its fine now, just as I was typing this screen flashed black twice but no BSOD so far, who knows 😣😖
Also I've just underclocked my card on the Core and Memory by -150 to see if that helps...

on the 2nd one down from the top it feels like its getting blocked by the Aouros, southbridge/northbridge thing? Like its stopping it from going all the way in and not clicking so it can be pulled out with little effort
Well got everything ready to format, fresh USB installed ready to go, went to change the pci-e slot but it didn't really feel like it was going in properly so aborted that idea, then thought well, I've reinstalled Windows before and wiped everything and even removed my cpu overclock so pretty...
Tried reseting it too, gave my pc a good clean out and reseated the GPU and the ram, was just googling around and read this,
