Your update #44 suggests that the problem lays with the first PCI-E slot on the MB, if the board is still under warranty RMA it and be sure to explain that after testing with the same hardware the issue only happens when the GPU is in the first PCI-E slot.
Disregard the driver booster information, such programmes are at best a gimmick and at worst a costly waste of your time and financial resources.
