I formatted the o/s and install the bare minimum, bare drivers etc - and it's still acting in the same way.
I'm running the ATITool which is used to stress the graphic card, when it gets to about 4 mins of stressing - my browser stops responding, for 30-40 seconds.
This is the same as when I play wow.
Sounds like either a graphics problem (hardware) or a slot problem on your motherboard. I'm just guessing, of course. Unfortunately, diagnostics past this point start getting expensive.
Now playing: WoW (Garona)
if you have any kind of support linked to your system i would start there.
If not you might try updating your bios... might be a bad pci-e slot
I'll try another slot for it if it fails this time round
i have sent a ticket to ASUS about the v/card
What size power supply do you have?
850W - but I have been considering it might need replacing...Originally Posted by Oatboat
fails to work properly in the other pci-e slot as well.

For the record, the issue was my SSD failing.
It is no longer detected, I have since installed o/s on a mechanical drive and it's all ok!
However I did have a bit of an added confusion - when I reset my bios defaults, the memory was giving errors during memtest68 - after testing 2 sticks at a time and seeing nothing was wrong - I realised it was the voltage had been reset in the bios! So I pumped it back up and it's stable again with memory.
