Hi Hatkoff

Nice pictures thanks,

what RAM have you got installed, what size sticks in which slots and specifications, including the latencey( Four or one Number eg 6.6.6.12 or 6)

Have you tried enabling the onboard graphics and using them?

Hi,

Looks to me like a GPU heat issue.
As Match has said you can use the onboard if you have it to rule that out.

Have you checked to see that the GPU fan is actually turning when you power the system?
