Hi everyone 
Been doing a fair bit of reference reading from this site, moreso when problems arise! So I'm hoping that someone will be able to point be in the direction of solving my issue.
As per the title I have the post beep issue. I am aware, after various conversations, that this presents the pc's inability to detect its graphics card. (Asus Rampage IV extreme)
However the card has been recently replaced. (gtx 590 with waterblock)
The system itself was repaired externally by the vendor company, and on its return it was running fine for perhaps 6 or so hours. After that the screen lost its signal and then rebooted randomly. Which was almost the same error it had before its repair (technician reported it as failed gpu).
Event viewer labels this as a kernel 41 fault. Which seems to be prompting the reboot and has happened 67 times so far.
I have since re installed windows, reallocated drivers and tested the system with an alternate card (650gtx) from my flatmate's duplicate system. Unfortunately because the fault is so sporadic time wise its been hard to see if the card swap actually makes a difference. Her needing her pc for uni work means I can only borrow it for short periods.
I've run prime95, Hdtune, memtest and furmark/heaven bench and these run fine when the system isnt randomly rebooting itself.
There are various other graphical issues now and then including pink/purple blank display error which can only be fixed by reboot. All of the faults, even the beep error can go away for long periods (3+ hours or more) before coming back out of the blue.
I've tried re-seating the card at various stages as well as moving it a slot lower (water cooling loop means I cant try every slot) each of these will clear the issues for a short time before repeating symptoms some time later.
Long story short, the technician wants to replace the 590gtx a second time claiming that 'again' its responsible for the problem. 590's aren't cheap and although I'm about to upgrade to a 690gtx anyway im wondering if there isnt a different underlying issue.
I cant afford to have the system keep blowing its graphics cards to the scrap heap lol, so can anyone give any pointers towards other possible causes?
I've checked the ram stick by stick, since prior to its repair this had been my first point of call. So that leaves what? mobo?
Thanks
