Computer Freezes On Start Up

[chadders78]

Morning.

So, let me start by saying I am in no way a nube to system building or upgrading.

The issue I am having is starting to drive me mad.

I had a HP 3015 PRO MT, which I upgraded with an Asus AMD R7 260X 2GB card and a Corsair RM650 fully modular PSU.

I then started to get stability issues, machine freezing and software crashes. Then 1 day out of the blue the motherboard died so I put all these issues down to that.

I have now purchased an Asus M5A88-M Evo motherboard (and a new case due to stupid HP connectors). After 2 attempts on Saturday to set the system up and install windows I decided to take the graphics card out. All of a sudden everything is good. Windows installed, updated ect and I was happy.

Untill I put the graphics card back in. Then the same issues. I have disabled onboard graphics AND audio as the card has built in sound.

I came to the conclusion that the card was damaged and got a replacement sent out to me by the supplier. All looked good for 10mins, and then the same problems.

What am I doing wrong? Bios/Drivers/Windows are all up to date.

Please help, I'm loosing my mind with this!

Not sure that will help, as it wouldn't stay stable enough to install Windows on Saturday.

WIll try that unless another solution is offered.

I was also thinking of taking it completely appart and giving it to someone else to sort out
