Signed up to the forum earlier to ask for help in why my MSI R7 260x graphics card wasn't working and i have received this email. Can any moderators explain what rules i broke as i haven't got a clue i was just trying to get help.

Maybe you accidentally double posted it (it's actually really common) and the duplicate was deleted?

Maybe it was because you made a post about it in this thread (just guessing until a mod answers this): http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2274307/graphi...

The responsible moderator has been contacted and should be along momentarily to explain exactly why. However, as k1114 pointed out, you bumped, which is not permitted in the forums.

I Didn't bump I replied about an hour later asking for help? As I was seriously getting stressed out with the card. & Eduello my thread was banned a long time before this so can anyone get a moderator to contact me on what rules I haven't compromised to I really want to know.

Screenshot where I bumped I commented a while after asking for help as after all it is a forum I thought you was allowed to do that on a forum I'm obviously wrong.

Yeah, that would be technically considered bumping. It should be OK for you to start a new thread about it (mods, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), just don't make the same mistake twice :) 

EDIT: Corrected my original statement.

Starting a new thread for the same question is just as big a no-no. If the OP had posted additional information, rather than simply offering to do so, we wouldn't be here ;)  However, until the moderator in question checks in we're only speculating.

The OP was lacking in detail and the bump post added no further detail so the thread went in the bin.
