Its a solid orange, which is normally what happens when you turn it on just before it boots or is in sleep mode, its a dell one, it has 80 plus bronze, and the model number is AC460EM-00[/color]

some things to try first…

take off the side cover and remove the memory sticks and the graphics card.
wipe down their contacts and with a soft bristled brush, wipe their circuitry and the motherboard slots they came from.
reseat them and see how you go.

The GTX 1070 display card requires a 500 Watt psu
Your system currently has a 460 Watt psu.

Which probably actually puts out about 350-375 watts

Pull the display card if there is one like @Bruce stated and see if the system boots with out it installed.

Make sure that you are plugged into the display card and not the onboard.

Claims to be 385W Russ but being an ACbel I wouldn`t trust that number.

This may sound like a stupid question but what do you mean by circuitry do you mean the actual boards of them?

I have windows on a 32gb ssd which is constantly giving me low space warnings, could that be the issue maybe?

Updates require 32 - 40 GB of free space to install updates not including the reserved space that Windows no uses for updates.
That is just for updates not including the backup that it creates when downloading and installing the updates.

In other words you have to replace that HDD that windows is installed on. Minimal of 250 GB is almost getting to be to small.

For Windows to work properly there has to be an additional 20% of available space on top of all that.

So if I reinstall windows that could fix it, I have a usb drive I can use

[Rustys]

No it will not the only thing that will correct it will be to get a bigger drive to install windows on. 32 GB is not big enough.

Plus a better PSU.
