just ordered a new CPU, cheap 4gb stick of RAM, and a new PSU

You "scattercash" as we Brits would say. I won't argue with your decision. The stick of Ram is a good idea. Look at it this way, you'll cure it and you'll have the makings of an extra high spec computer when the price of components come down. Certainly a head scratcher. Keep us posted.

lol

well I intend to send back everything I dont need! I dont have that kinda of money!

Thanks for the help. Will post when I get the new parts

Call somebody a scattercash and you'll get some right funny looks of 'em

On Saturday I removed the MSI mobo and reinstalled my original Gigabyte G7.
reconnected everything and swapped the CPU out for a new one I received on Friday.

System has been up and running since then. I've run the passmark burnin test probably 25 times with no issues.
I got brave and started installing the software I need/use on Sunday and have been using it for web browsing/email/youtube ever since then with no issues. I also installed Lightroom6 and have tested a couple photos without any crashes.

I havent fully converted over but I am hopeful the problem is solved. I'll post back if anything changes or in another week or so just to clarify once i get everything moved over and am using it 100%

Thanks to both of you for your help and patience

Ah well, you got there in the end. Who'd have thought the CPU ? Seem to be quite rare.
If you'd just replaced the CPU in an existing PC you would have probably spotted it a lot sooner, having all brand new stuff just compounded the situation.

Have fun Keith and don't forget to back it up !!!

Thanks again guys, I've been using this computer for everything the past week+ and no issues at all!
