Ok so that post got me thinking. I tried the GPU in the second PCIe slot and low and behold it's working. So my primary PCIe slot is gone, nonfunctional. Crazy because I believe this to be a pretty rare case, anyway just thought I'd mention it in case someone in the future might search for this or something similar. Now you know that testing both PCIe slots is viable and that a primary PCIe slot can stop working. Glad we all learnt something today :-) Now the next problem is the space in my M-ATX setup is so limited this damn 6990 doesn't fit here. Tested using the gt 7400 because I didn't wanna dismantle my whole PC.

I was thinking that, any way to test it?

Everything was working fine and as I said I tried another GPU as well, something that was also working in my system.

Ok I don't know what the hell is going on here, I switch on my PC after about a week and I get no display, "no signal". I tried different display inputs DVI and mini display port still nothing with different cables. Tried a different older GPU (Nvidia GT 7400) known to work in my set up and still nothing (DVI & VGA). Went beyond and tried a different monitor with both GPU's, again nothing. According to the Q code on my motherboard it reads "A0" which indicates normal functionality. I tried clearing CMOS and flashing the BIOS to different versions still nothing. Please help I don't really wanna go out and buy new hardware.

Thanks everyone for your input

Been considering getting this, is it any good? Should I look at something else? in a similar price range.

You can make minecraft with it

Stock cooler is fine when not overclocking.

I can't stop looking at your profile picture :lol:

Install 8.1 then upgrade to 10 from within windows

Have you tried installing just windows 8?

Yeah I vote for memory leak ^^ Edit: You can try re-downloading and installing windows, or wait for an update to fix it? Also do a quick search and see if it's a common issue.

Please post the image

@Textosterone I'm sorry to derail but I want your profile picture please, it reminds me of a friend.

Yeah that's correct, a lot of cases today come with the stand-offs pre-installed
