    already tried both the 9.1, 9.2, 10.3 and 10.4 graphics drivers... chances are one of those would be stable i'm sure. Tried completely bypassing my sound card and using most recent drivers for on board audio, currently running latest sound card and graphics drivers that i can find that are stable.

    Im running 32bit windows 7 and i generally put ESET into "full block" mode whenever im gaming... im pretty paranoid about my security settings so everything has to be as secure as possible.

    Im inclined to believe its the power supply - hotwired it by bypassing the pins on the ATX 24 pin and circuit tested it with a voltmeter, showing some spiking on every rail apart from the 12v rail.

    PC has also started crashing randomly when im doing something intensive but i realized i had the CPU undervolted XD

    Yep sounds like the power supply and you may also want to reset all your overclock settings to default, and see if that helps with the crash issue. Outside of that if you get blue screen crashes under intensive load, you may want to check your ram and make sure you don't have any bad sticks, and cross check and see if you have any defective ram slots in your motherboard. Any of those things can cause PC crashes. But as you stated your problem most likely lies with the power supply. I would suggest the corsair 1000 watt modular power supply or higher, or the equivalent in the Antec versions.

    hopefully aiming to buy the Antec TruePower 650w supply after its recommendation for price/performance. Already tried my board with some older sticks but it didnt make any difference

    I believe you have a computer problem more than a game or trainer problem.
    Is this a computer you have build your self or buyed?
    It seems like you have some mismatch in your hardware.

    I will recommand to programs to you.
    1. download Revo Uninstaller, free or pro version.
    2. download Diskeeper, trail version or pay for a full version.

    Run Revo Uninstaller remove game complete and then run Diskeeper for defragmenting your disk. Reinstall and see what happens.

    built myself, i know all the parts and the only weak link is the PSU.

    I noticed voltage spikes near full load - i ran prime95 benchmark and used Everest to monitor the voltages on the board.

    I de-frag my drives every week with Auslogics Boostspeed - its supposedly the best de-frag/cleaning utility around.
    Already tried all manner of combinations of running the game and uninstalling/installing. Tried around 5 different graphics and sound card drivers, 3 different physx drivers and various combinations of patches/DLCs'. All the same conclusion

    Oh also obviously tried running the game at lowest graphics and resolution and noticed that the game went on for far longer without crashing but the GPU never once over-heated (as far as i know its never gone above 70 degrees and most people's 4890's run far hotter than that)
