Thanks for coming back so quickly, so it looks like it's pointing towards the CPU :-( (I know that's not a guarantee) but I have eliminated other parts and have been keeping a close eye on Temps which all seem fine. Speccy reports motherboard at 23 for most of the day, graphics around 27 and CPU ranges from late 20's to mid 40's depending on what's running.
I did reset defaults in BIOS to remove overclocking so it seems this is going to cost me around £300 to replace. I have never had to replace a processor before, if I want another i7 do I need to go with same model or can I get a newer spec. I'm not sure what I need to check in terms of compatibility with current motherboard? do all CPU's fit in same housing (probably a numb question)
Thanks again for your support
