after managing to get some time to have a good go, Stripped everything down and started from scratch with as basic a setup as possible. Finally narrowed it down to one of the RAM sticks (one of those with heat sinks on each chip).
What made it more awkward was that it wouldnt do it with this stick in all the time by itself.
Anyway - I put two sticks out of my other PC (which I upgraded the memory on) and everythings fine now . thanks again everyoneDon't try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig0 -
