First I thought it was just the video card, but it works perfectly in another PCIe slot. I have flashed MB BIOS, reset all BIOS to default, un-installed and re-installed all graphics drivers/software, un-seated and re-seated GPU and CPU.
I'm thinking it's the PCIe slot failing - any other suggestions?
