Anyway, it posts boots into windows lets you log in, but just after you sign in it screen just shows the background, then a single beep from the mother board and it totally freezes up.

Any ideas, or should I just start taking things out one by one to rule out faulty ram,gpu etc?

cheers

Will it start in Safe Mode? Try the RAM first.
