Hi folks,
I'm having a weird problem with my system which is driving me nuts.
Intermittently, I launch an app and the screen will freeze for a few seconds, and the mouse pointer on occasion turns to:

I removed the monitor cable & reseated, and no longer received output on the screen. The same happens if I am to start a game.
Now it only seems to happen after i've been "stressing" the graphics, such as playing a game of using Furmark.
Temps are fine, mobo BIOS is latest (at optimized settings), Prime95 seemed ok, Memtest86+ tested fine, and SSD Pro reported drive as fine too.
I replaced most of system in June of this year with a 4770k, VI Maximus Hero, and 16gb corsair dominator, retaining the PSU, graphics and SDD, as I was having similar problems (but with that rig the display would just freeze with an annoying noise and i'd need to hard reboot), but was wondering if anyone has had similar experience and what they did to resolve? The CPU/Mobo/RAM came as part of a bundle that was apparently tested for 24 hrs from Scan.co.uk.
I installed a Corsair 750w PSU in August hoping that'd fix, but still no joy.
To add, clean installs of Windows 7 (with all updates) and Windows 8 haven't cured.
Cheers.
