    Have you considered the possibility of defective hardware?
    Are you suspicious of something other then the GPU itself, has something changed?

    What is the Make, Model and age of your PSU (power supply)?
    Try a different PCI-e slot.

    Let us know :) .

    My current PSU is an Antec Earthwatts 750w , and about a year ago had a buzzing noise coming from it but stopped after a couple of days. So I ordered an xfx black edition 750w but have never needed to use it, I will install this later today when I get back home after work.

    Ok so i have installed the new PSU and that made no difference, but when i switched the Card into the other PCI-e slot it now lets me boot back into normal mode....... what do you think the problem is?

    The PCI-e slot a.k.a the motherboard :\ .
    Try switching between them again to verify that it wasn't a coincidence.

    Is that enough of a confirmation in your eyes?
    If you want to cover all bases you can try the GPU in a different PCI-e x16 slot,
    truly running in x16 mode not like the gray slot in your motherboard which is wired as x4,
    in a different system/motherboard, but I doubt it's the problem.

    The slot, but we won't be able to solely blame it on the slot unless you try running the card in true x16 mode.
